[30] Their work to overcomeadversity seemed to strengthen the relationship between business management and the Blackracial identity. There was also increased innovation in business strategy. Although difficulties were faced by entrepreneurs in the early 1900’s, similar difficulties arestill evidenced by the discrimination that minority entrepreneurs face when seeking smallbusiness loans in today’s

Combining advice from three popular guides (Stewart,et al; Krueger and Casey; and MacNealy) generates the following procedures: Identify the problem(s) to be addressed and the purposes of the study. As noted earlier, focus groups are most useful for exploring or confirming a topic. Because of the small sample size, they do not provide statistical projections or lend themselves to causal analysis. Therefore the problems and purposes identified and the questions asked should be open-ended and
