Summary/Abstract: Analysis of selected aspects and theories of entrepreneurship, company management, and leadership is presented from the viewpoint of company founders and those who, in their professional careers, combine ownership and management functions. In the marked majority of small-business enterprises, those two functions are typically shared, resulting in a range of phenomena not readily observed in large companies or multinational corporations. In large economic entities, specialist knowledge and other duties closely related to future company success are typically delegated to specific teams, while the success of small enterprises, for the most part, is attributed to a single person.
