Furthermore, the traditional constraints of small and medium enterprises, such as geographic operations, are now being dissolved by technological developments. This means that there are new opportunities for SMEs, and their fundamental principles are being redefined: the aims, competencies, strategy, management, practice, and scope of these businesses are changing, with wide-ranging implications. This is the first part of a two volume work that incorporates scientific chapters on SME business theory and practice. Authors provide a balanced perspective of the present and future of SMEs across all business disciplines, including management, strategy, marketing, economics, and finance. While Volume II explores external issues such as contextual forces, the effects of the financial crisis, and macro-economic effects, this first volume focuses on the individual SME and internal issues such as innovation, quality, and digitization. 000946537 650_0 $$aSmall business. 000946537 650_0 $$aLeadership. 000946537 650_0 $$aInternational business enterprises. 000946537 7001_ $$aThrassou, Alkis,$$eeditor. 000946537 7001_ $$aVrontis, Demetris,$$eeditor. 000946537 7001_ $$aWeber, Yaakov,$$eeditor. 000946537 7001_ $$aShams, S.
