Thesis (D.B.A.)--Walden University, 2013.

The success of small business leaders, who employ approximately one-fourth of the U.S. workforce, is critical to America's economic recovery. The U.S. government spends over $300 billion per year on supplies and services through contract awards to large and small businesses. The relatively small percentage (21.6%) of contracts awarded to small businesses results in $15 billion in lost revenue for small-business stakeholders. To explore the perceived disproportional representation of small-business participation in federal overseas contracts, this phenomenological study, guided by systems theory conducted open-ended, semistructured interviews with small business representatives (N = 20). The modified van Kaam was used to gather, organize, and analyze the data; qualitative analysis software was used to identify themes. Manual coding of the data resulted in 8 themes: internal barriers, external barriers, mentor incentives, goal attainment, contract oversight, type of contract, type of service, and communication and training. Key recommendations include providing (a) an incentive for mentor organizations, (b) thorough contract oversight through workforce training, and (c) a means for open communication between federal officials and small business representatives. Implications for social change include early communication between small business representatives and government officials to allow for increased small-business representation on federal overseas contracts, which will support community economic development through the creation of entry-level job opportunities.
