Countries have been competing against each other in order to attract financial investment and human capital for decades. However, emerging economies have a long way to go before they achieve the same levels of competitiveness as a developed economy. Lack of firm institutions, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of trust in the legal system are urgent and unavoidable factors that emerging economies must address. The Handbook of Research on Increasing the Competitiveness of SMEs provides innovative insights on integrating, adapting, and building models and strategies compatible with the development of competitiveness in small and medium enterprises in emerging countries. The content within this publication examines quality management, organizational leadership, and digital security. It is designed for policymakers, entrepreneurs, managers, executives, business professionals, academicians, researchers, and students.

This book is a timely guide for Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) researchers, policy makers and strategists. SMEs are the most important sources of job creation and local development especially in knowledge-based economies. As turbulence in the globalized economies expands SMEs will have to learn to sustain competitiveness by developing their ‘dynamic capabilities’. Based on the findings of a 4-year European and Latin American research project, this book provides a theoretical framework, practical instruments and cases on how SMEs in diverse economic, social and cultural contexts can develop crisis resilience, increase agility, innovate and thus successfully compete in turbulent times.

"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.

Increasing annual investments in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries by $1 trilling would yield disproportionate dividends in terms of progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while also delivering healthy returns for investors. Yet, less than 1% of the tens of trillions of dollars that global asset managers have under management is currently invested in developing country SMEs. This edition of SME Competitiveness Outlook explains how best to scale up private sector investment in developing country SMEs for sustainable development impact. It identifies four main streams through which investors, facilitators and enterprises can form partnerships for sustainable development, and it makes a strong case for investing in small businesses to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

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.

50 years of fostering trade competitiveness around the globe generated a wealth of experience and expertise. ITC gained invaluable insights and learned many lessons in supporting SMEs in developing, least developed and transition economies to enhance their competitiveness and to internationalise. While ITC's mandate has remained unchanged over the last five decades, the trade landscape has altered radically and with it the manner in which ITC has delivered its trade-related technical assistance. The rise of a multi-polar global economy gave way to new trade, market and investment opportunities. A technological revolution transformed the way business is being transacted around the world. The multilateral, regional and bilateral trade regime matured and new governance patterns in international trade emerged in the form of supply chain trade
