The Desirable Management Styles in Polish Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
Małgorzata Marszałek
Abstract
The paper describes a variety of approaches to directing the operations of a business enterprise and to managing human resources in Polish small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). The author concludes that the most desired management style in Polish SMEs is the one based on personal qualities which translate into operational competencies and which, even though they will undergo modifications during a person's involvement in management processes, will have a very strong impact on a individual's entrepreneurial, managerial and technical behaviors. Since SME owners and managers/directors will only acquire skills related to managing a business while already managing one, i.e. when they have already begun their careers as managers, their attitude toward skills development and consulting support figures as a key component of their personal competencies. Managers who do not intend to upgrade their interpersonal skills, expand their knowledge and improve their ability to lead people within an organization - will hamper progress, effectively making our country's transformation longer and more tedious, as well as turning their businesses into dinosaurs that will be unable to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
