United States or other in dustrialized countries because Canadians tend to think small Americans for example normally think in big terms the Toronto executive told business administration students at St Marys Universi ty in Halifax We in Canada tend to limit our thinking to the obvious Where we see insurmountable problems others see challeng ing opportunities Canadians also tend to avoid risk and do not poSsess the same sense of urgency as the Americans Generally Canadian managers do not understand the difference between manag ing business and operating it or between strategic decisions and operating decisions Basically we in Canada seem to operate at much lower level in terms of entcr preneurship growth and building bigger businesses than our American neighbors WORK LESS HARD He said

Canada large company doesnt necessarily spell security or satisfy the full measure of your potential he said Canada is young country with good growth potential and there are opportunities for young people in small businesses where you could achieve fulfillment you never even dreamed of Mr Leonidas said the manager of small business must be generalist not specialist The manager must be planner
