The Environment of Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) of the Developing Countries: Vector or Inhibitor for Their International Performance?
Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Management and Trade - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 3
Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to describe and explain the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises abroad. This concern is motivated by the results of numerous studies that make Cameroonian Small and medium-sized enterprises archaic and uncompetitive organizations. Yet, these companies manage to maintain themselves in foreign markets and perform appreciably. To carry out our work, we used the hypothetico-deductive method. Thus, based on the existing literature, we have formulated two hypotheses that relate the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises abroad and their environment. The test of these hypotheses has made it possible to highlight the role of the environment in explaining the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises abroad and has pointed out the limits of the specificity of the management of small and medium-sized enterprises in the face of the threat to their survival.
