Book excerpt: "Innovative SMEs play a pivotal role in raising the growth potential of national economies. Even more than large firms, SMEs need to access external sources of information, knowledge, know-how and technologies to build their own innovative capability and to reach their markets. However, most developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region have very fragmented innovation systems and thus their indigenous innovation capacity is very weak. A subnational innovation system (SIS) has been widely recognized as a way to address this issue. A SIS policy focuses on industrial development and enhancing the competitiveness of local enterprises through technology and innovation capacity-building. As part of a project on SIS and technology capacity-building policies, UNESCAP undertook studies on the SIS policy framework and an SME technology capacity-building strategy and organized a regional consultative meeting to discuss such a policy framework. This publication contains two major studies, a number of best practices, case studies and country papers presented at the meeting, and policy recommendations adopted at the meeting." -- provided by publisher.

Download or read book E-business, Enhancing the Competitiveness of Small Firms in the Global Market written by Maria Jean Abboud and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The internationalization process currently under way, which is being encouraged by the opening up and liberalization of national markets, and above all by the appearance and proliferation of new information and communication technologies (ICT), is generating important changes in the economic system that are having direct effects on the foundations upon which the firms base their competitiveness. Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are today facing this turbulent environment harder than multinational companies due to their lack of resources and are constantly challenged and have to struggle to remain competitive. To achieve competitiveness, theories suggest that SMEs should seek to adopt a differentiation strategy to retain its current market share and be involved in continuous growth in order to expand its existing market share. Literature suggest E-business as a source of competitiveness in this "New economy" however a gap exists when it comes to the effect of E-business on small firms for this reason this research papers aims at examining the effect of E-business on the competitiveness of SMEs by answering two main questions: How does E-business contributes to the differentiation strategy of SMEs and how does E-business facilitate the growth of SMEs? To answer these questions two case studies were conducted on SMEs fulfilling predetermined criteria and vast literatures were examined and it was found that through enabling the introduction of innovative products and processes, E-business allows SMEs to differentiate themselves from competitors. It was also found that by allowing low cost, low risk internationalization, E-business encourages the expansion of a firm's customer base giving a chance for growth. As a conclusion it was suggested that all SMEs seeking to improve their competitive position by differentiating themselves from competitors or by increasing their share of sales without incurring high costs should engage themselves in E-business.
Book Synopsis Surviving Supply Chain Integration by : National Research Council
Download or read book Surviving Supply Chain Integration written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-03-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The managed flow of goods and information from raw material to final sale also known as a "supply chain" affects everythingâ€"from the U.S. gross domestic product to where you can buy your jeans. The nature of a company's supply chain has a significant effect on its success or failureâ€"as in the success of Dell Computer's make-to-order system and the failure of General Motor's vertical integration during the 1998 United Auto Workers strike. Supply Chain Integration looks at this crucial component of business at a time when product design, manufacture, and delivery are changing radically and globally. This book explores the benefits of continuously improving the relationship between the firm, its suppliers, and its customers to ensure the highest added value. This book identifies the state-of-the-art developments that contribute to the success of vertical tiers of suppliers and relates these developments to the capabilities that small and medium-sized manufacturers must have to be viable participants in this system. Strategies for attaining these capabilities through manufacturing extension centers and other technical assistance providers at the national, state, and local level are suggested. This book identifies action steps for small and medium-sized manufacturersâ€"the "seed corn" of business start-up and developmentâ€"to improve supply chain management. The book examines supply chain models from consultant firms, universities, manufacturers, and associations. Topics include the roles of suppliers and other supply chain participants, the rise of outsourcing, the importance of information management, the natural tension between buyer and seller, sources of assistance to small and medium-sized firms, and a host of other issues. Supply Chain Integration will be of interest to industry policymakers, economists, researchers, business leaders, and forward-thinking executives.
Book Synopsis Strengthening SMEs and Entrepreneurship for Productivity and Inclusive Growth by : OECD
Download or read book Strengthening SMEs and Entrepreneurship for Productivity and Inclusive Growth written by OECD and published by Org. for Economic Cooperation & Development. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SMEs that grow have a considerable positive impact on employment creation, innovation, productivity growth and competitiveness. Digital technologies and global value chains offer new opportunities for SMEs to participate in the global economy, innovate and strengthen productivity. Yet SMEs are lagging behind in the digital transition and are disproportionately affected by market failures, trade barriers, policy inefficiencies and the quality of institutions. A cross-cutting approach to SME policy can enhance SME innovation and scale-up, as well as their contributions to inclusive growth. This includes a business environment conducive to risk-taking and experimentation by entrepreneurs, as well as access to entrepreneurship competencies, management and workforce skills, technology, innovation, and networks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supply Chain Management (SCM) has been widely acknowledged as very important business strategy in the enhancement of competitiveness of enterprises. Many trends in SCM and its implications have been pointed out and a management platform has also been introduced by earlier writers. Considering various trend, implication and design of supply chain, a study on how SCM implemented in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia which produce various coconut-based products was conducted. This paper briefly reviews some concepts in SCM. The aim is to update and disseminate some of the latest concepts. The SCM applied by an SME, namely PT. Tropica Nucifera Industry (PT.TNI), is also reviewed. Key to the success of PT.TNI is its ability to establish win/win and very strong collaboration with two main players in the supply chain, i.e., 'many small suppliers' and knowledge institutions. The company is adding knowledge institutions in their SCM, realizing the important role of the knowledge institutions in enhancing their collaboration with many small suppliers. This enables the company to create sustainable innovation at the grassroots level.
