TITLE: OPTIMIZATION OF RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN SMALL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT: A MATHEMATICAL APPROACH

This research addresses the critical challenge of resource management in small enterprises. Unlike large corporations, small businesses operate under severe budgetary and material constraints. This paper develops a linear programming model to maximize profitability by optimizing the distribution of limited labor and raw materials. By applying the Simplex method to a practical case study, the results demonstrate a potential increase in operational efficiency, proving that mathematical precision is superior to intuitive management.
