Furthermore, the traditional constraints of small and medium enterprises, such as geographic operations, are now being dissolved by technological developments. This means that there are new opportunities for SMEs, and their fundamental principles are being redefined: the aims, competencies, strategy, management, practice, and scope of these businesses are changing, with wide-ranging implications. This is the second part of a two volume work that incorporates scientific chapters on SME business theory and practice. Authors provide a balanced perspective of the present and future of SMEs across all business disciplines, for example management, strategy, marketing, economics and finance. While Volume I focuses on the individual SME and internal issues such as innovation, quality, and digitization, this second volume explores external issues such as contextual forces, the effectsof the financial crisis, and macro-economic effects. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Cross-disciplinary Business Research, In Association with EuroMed Academy of Business,$x2523-8175 606 $aSmall business 606 $aStrategic planning 606 $aLeadership 606 $aSmall Business 606 $aBusiness Strategy and Leadership 615 0$aSmall business. 615 0$aStrategic planning. 615 0$aLeadership. 615 14$aSmall Business. 615 24$aBusiness Strategy and Leadership. 676 $a338.642 702 $aThrassou$b Alkis 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910427045803321 996 $aThe changing role of SMEs in global business$91935657 997 $aUNINA
