Are Small Businesses Dependent on the Presence of the Owner?Many small businesses begin as oneperson operations. Most small business owners put in extremely longhours and seldom take vacations. Although such firms later employ other workers, the management styleand personality of the owner seem to be necessary to the survival of the firm. Here are some examples.Ted and Ralph formed a partnership to operate a service station in a Prairie city. Both were on thepremises from 7 a.m. until closing at 8 p.m. Both were skilled at greeting the public and they made manyfriends as business boomed. Although they maintained ownership of the station, Ted and Ralph began tospend time away from work, leaving capable subordinates in charge. But the firm just wasnt the samewithout Ted and Ralph on hand, and business dropped. Ted and Ralph realized that to keep the stationhighly successful, they both had to be on the premises.For many years, Mabel and Theo Harker operated Harkers Cafe in a large city in the East. Theo was thechief cook, and Mabel waited on customers who sat at the counter. Although they hired several othercooks and waitresses, Mabel and Theo were the stable core of the business. The two worked long hours,and business seemed to go more smoothly when the owners were there. Realizing how important theywere personally to the success of the cafe, the Harkers never took a vacation and never left the cafe in thehands of the hired staff. Instead, in late summer and around Christmas, the Harkers closed down the entirecafe for a week at a time. Customers agreed that the place would not be Harkers Cafe without Mabel andTheo.1.
