The NY Report 2011 Small Business Award winners share their best practices for success
November 1, 2011

 

 

 

 

 

The rate of change in business continues to increase, but the New York City area’s small businesses are proving they are more than capable of keeping up. Unlike large, lumbering corporations, today’s small businesses are able to meet the challenges of this economy by staying flexible and fighting back with lean muscle. At the 2011 Small Business Awards, NY Report celebrated just a few of the companies who exemplify the ability to thrive under these difficult conditions. These nine companies are keeping pace by innovating, and more importantly, successfully implementing effective best practices.
