he aim of this paper is to critically discuss and expand the role of ratio analysis, particularly the DuPont method, as an educational component of small business and/or entrepreneurial courses. To accomplish this purpose, the authors undertake a critical and historical examination of the financial analysis literature and how ratio analysis is incorporated into small business management and entrepreneurship textbooks.

The relevance of this model is, then, demonstrated through an example analysis, after which implications for the education of small business management students are discussed
