Approximately 50% of starting small businesses cease operations within the first 5 years. Thus, a need exists to explore the factors that contribute to this trend. In the wake of this necessity, business management exponent, Dr. Evans Nyatigo Ongaga used a qualitative phenomenological intrinsic study to explore the lived experiences of 10 Small Business owner-leaders who experienced failure of small businesses in San Jose, California. Modified van Kaam approach was applied to comprehend the participants' lived experiences concerning the phenomenon of failure of small businesses. The emerging and developing themes replicated the participants' perceptions that an interplay of many factors revealed and discussed in this book result in failure of small businesses. In a nutshell, owner-leaders of small businesses consistently identified and described lack of resources as the primary cause of small business failure, which was attributed to underperformance in leadership.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Evans Nyatigo Ongaga\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1722000708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781722000707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.54d","brand":"Evans Nyatigo Ongaga","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068952703231,"sku":"9781722000707","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bafa7470-615e-4b6d-ba1a-b6585fb8e980.jpg?v=1685421954","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/failure-of-small-businesses-evans-nyatigo-ongaga-9781722000707","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
