About the Book

"Small and Medium Enterprises" presents a sustained analysis of the technology issues and options facing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in both urban and rural settings, advanced and developing countries. No previous works have dealt with the technological capabilities of these enterprises, although their role in fostering soci-economic development has received increasing attention in the international economic community. Three major issues are covered by this book: the policies and programmes that affect small and medium enterprises; the innovation potential of these businesses; and the institutions and infrastructure most conducive to their success in developing and advanced economies. Part One looks at the macro- and microeconomic policy environment necessary to stimulate the innovative capacity and potential of SMEs. How existing policy measures are invariably geared towards large enterprises. Whether removal of these policy biases is enough to promote SME growth, or if more interventionist approaches are needed. Part Two focuses on the capacity of SMEs to design and manufacture equipment or products - adapting technology to suit their particular requirements. Demonstrates that even microenterprises have the capacity for product and process innovations. Part Three is an examination of the success of the business incubation process in fostering technological innovation, the traditional forms of support offered to SMEs in developing economies, and the linkages between SMEs and research institutions.
