Industrial Clusters and Micro and Small Enterprises in Africa
The World Bank, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Research Institute, and the Foundation for Advanced Studies on International Development (FASID), in collaboration with researchers affiliated with the African Economic Research Consortium (AERC), recently conducted a study on Africa s domestic enterprises to improve the understanding of the constraints micro and small enterprises in Africa face in improving productivity and expanding their markets. In Africa, there are stark performance gaps between domestically owned enterprises and foreign-owned enterprises in terms of sales performance, productivity, and ability to reach distant markets. Among others, size appears to be a domi...
Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in International Economic Law
International economic law, with its traditional focus on large multinational enterprises, is only slowly waking up to the new reality of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In the wake of the digital revolution, smaller companies now play an important role in the economic landscape. In 2015 the UN expressly called for SMEs to have greater access to international trade and investment, and it is increasingly recognized that the integration of SMEs provides one of the keys to creating a more sustainable and inclusive global economy. As 'born global' SMEs increasingly permeate transnational supply chains, so interactions between these companies and legal policy makers proliferate. Small ...
Small Company. Big World.
A book for those Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) who are curious about internationalizing their business. There are millions of SMEs, especially in large countries like the USA, that are not international but can easily manage to be so. Learn why being international is a good thing for their business, and how SMEs can develop their business abroad in a practical, hands-on manner. This is a how-to book with clear guidelines and real cases, not written for the academic world, but for those people who want to act.
International Growth of Small and Medium Enterprises
This book provides a comprehensive overview of international growth of SMEs from diverse points of view. It verifies that SMEs in all parts of the globe share similar characteristics, yet differ significantly. New explanations for this emerge, and although seminal concepts still remain powerful, their proper use requires new interpretations.
Innovation and Small Enterprises in the Third World
Fifteen contributions written by economists, development professionals, sociologists, and others provide a framework for understanding innovation among small-scale enterprises in developing countries, with an emphasis on technological change in clusters of small firms. Case studies include an example of innovation and small enterprise development in Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Zimbabwe; innovation and competitiveness within the small furniture industry in Nicaragua; and enhancing innovation capabilities in SME clusters based on a service center in Spain. The authors pay attention to innovation by small enterprises in times of economic crisis, as well as the mechanisms employed to promote innovation.

Financial Inclusion of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in the Middle East and Central Asia
The importance of financial inclusion is increasingly recognized by policymakers around the world. Small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) financial inclusion, in particular, is at the core of the economic diversification and growth challenges many countries are facing. In the Middle East and Central Asia (MENAP and CCA) regions, SMEs represent an important share of firms, but the regions lag most others in terms of SME access to financing.
Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and the Environment
This book tackles a largely neglected topic: small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and their environmental impact. Over 90% of all firms are SMEs. Their importance to the health of national and international economies is recognized. But what of their environmental impact? Individually, this may be small but, collectively, they pose a huge and largely unregulated threat to national and indeed the global environment. There have been many failed attempts to engage SMEs in environmental stewardship. Why is this? And where are the success stories needed to set best-practice examples? Environmental protection is widely touted as being a win-win scenario for business with economic spin-offs in ...
Smaller Manufacturing Enterprises In An International Context: A Longitudinal Exploration
This book provides an overview of approaches to internationalization as experienced by smaller manufacturing enterprises over a relatively long period of time — the 35-year period from 1974 to 2009. The original research on which this study is based dates back to the mid-1970s, when academic interest in export studies, market entry modes, and internationalization approaches, among others, have their origins. With practical examples of companies from both inside and outside the USA, readers will be able to understand how smaller manufacturing enterprises approach the world of international commerce, how they prepare themselves for it, and what really draws them into the world of international commerce./a
