What makes a Small or Medium Enterprise a Success ?

Comparing Acquisition Value With Other Variables in Small Businesses

By IGI Global on May 18, 2023
big city buildings A common goal among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is to be acquired by a larger corporation, and according Forbes, one important step to achieving this status is to set up Standard Operating Procedures, or SOPs. While having SOPs in place makes a company more attractive to buyers, it is also one of many ways that SMEs can grow and expand their business with logical structures to training with new employees. However, for SMEs that aim to expand into international markets, unique problems occur that do not impact larger corporations in the same way. This makes the established and SCOPUS-indexed book, Cases on Internationalization Challenges for SMEs (ISBN: 9781799843870), published by IGI Global, extremely valuable to managers, executives, and entrepreneurs concerned with how to adapt their companies to a fast-changing international business environment.

"Cases on Internationalization Challenges for SMEs is not meant to be the typical book that seeks to answer common aspects such as: What is business internationalization… Rather, this book seeks to address the case of SMEs that play an important role in the contemporary society as they behave heterogeneously and face a variety of international expansion modes that deserve to be analyzed from plural perspectives. This book also seeks to explore avenues regarding important aspects of internationalization that can have important consequences for SMEs."

– Prof. António Carrizo Moreira (University of Aveiro, Portugal)
