I resumed my search for a topic of research today. I began with looking into studies conducted on small businesses across the country to see what made them successful. I found that there are a lot different aspects to making a small business successful. I think I am going to run with this idea, I will poll as many local small businesses as I can to see what they have done to become successful or unsuccessful. I will tie this into STEM by using the psychology of employees (science), the financial situation of the company (math), and then finally building a project to show what it is that makes small businesses successful (engineering). I think my project will be interesting to a lot of people who are looking to start their own business in our area.
Another idea that I will be looking into is what the future holds for these successful companies and what they plan to do to keep their company relevant and running.
From the information I have gathered some major things that I will need to look into is, how active the business owner is in his own business, how the employees feel they are treated by their boss, how well the business model is planned, what the company does to promote itself, has the company ever faced hard times, the influence of technology on the business, the pay and financial situation of that business, and many more things that I will be finding out as my research expands. I am very excited about this project and look forward to conducting it.
