Absztrakt

Rapidly changing economic factors, frequently emerging crisis situations pose several challenges that small businesses and their leaders have to face every day. In many cases, increasing cost efficiency cannot be an adequate solution, since in this regard the possibilities of small businesses are much more limited compared to large enterprises. In terms of pricing strategy, SME’s potential is far less significant as well. In my opinion, the solution lies within the improvement of methods used by small businesses, in respect of a field that enjoys little popularity among the SME sector. Utilization of controlling toolkit in corporate marketing activity is not prevalent as of today, especially concerning small businesses. In my study, I analyse this particular toolkit in details, focusing on the planning function, attempting to reveal the importance of the controlling toolkit.
