“…Moreover, the making relationship among the SMEs through clustering provide opportunities to the SMEs to make entry barriers if vital business information and techniques are available only for the SMEs in the cluster [84]. Meng et al [85] noted that network relationship or close ties among the SMEs is significant to address the adverse effects of MNCs on the SMEs survival in the competition, particularly in the transitional economies. Technology adaptation through network relationship leads to generate benefits in the SMEs such as economies of scale, bargaining power, product differentiation, traditional and cultural identities, and input use efficiencies.…”

In the era of economic globalization, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are recognized as an engine of sustainable economic development in both the developed and developing world. In literature, three competitive challenges-the sustainability challenge, the global challenge and the technological challenge-faced by industrial entities in the current globalized economy, are categorized. Of them, this paper undertakes a systemic review of the literature covering the theme of SMEs and technology in order to identify how technological progress in the SMEs, correlates with SMEs survival improvement in the global competition. The review identified six driving forces-social capital, link with Multi-National Corporations (MNCs) and Transnational Corporations (TNCs), innovation, sharing and networking, information technology, and adoption of productivity-enhancing technology-influencing technological upgrade in the SMEs. The review also identified two conditions for successful technological adaptation in the SME sector-availability of technologically skillful workforce in the economy, and identification of opportunities of new technologies in the competition. These conditions could be viewed in the macro environment and emphasize the need for the economies' readiness towards SMEs' success.

“…According to Davidsson and Honig (2003) relationships of affection and the diverse relationships which help in connecting different agents together, act as a source of social capital. Meng, Rieckmann, and Li (2016) conducted an empirical study on social capital, internationalisation and performance of Chinese small firms and found that personal network relationships with financial institutions have a positive relation with their performance, but, strong relationships with government has no influence on performance of these firms. Social capital has been divided into personal network relationships or entrepreneurial social capital and network resources of a firm (Jones & Coviello, 2005; Manolova, Manev, & Gyoshev, 2010).…”

In emerging economies, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) contribute a sizeable proportion of exports and manufacturing output, and millions of people are provided employment. Entrepreneurs and these small firms are influenced by many contextual factors in their operations. Social capital factors, both formal and informal social networks, are considered influential to their performance. This study uses regression analysis to study the impact of social capital dimensions on financial performance of SMEs. Primary data were collected through survey of SMEs of India. It was found that out of five social capital dimensions only four dimensions, such as complicity, status, social relations and personal relations, positively impact the financial performance of SMEs, whereas one dimension ‘Interlinking and family support’ had no significant impact on financial performance of SMEs. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Artículo de revisión sobre la internacionalización. Considera los gremios como actores del proceso, desde una visión del efecto trampolín en la pequeña y mediana industria (Pyme). La metodología empleada fue la aplicación de un instrumento cualitativo orientado a empresas de Software y Tecnologías informáticas (SW&TI) afiliadas a FEDESOFT en Colombia. Analiza la percepción que tienen los directores de empresas de la Industria del Software y Tecnologías Informáticas. Plantea la existencia de factores externos que impulsan y determinan la internacionalización de la empresa, los gremios y los organismos públicos y/o privados los que canalizan información relevante del entorno para que el directivo la acerque a su realidad empresarial, lo cual demuestra la importancia de la asociación gremial en nuestro país. El artículo concluye que el efecto trampolín puede ser positivo en las capacidades y recursos de las empresas para expandirse localmente a través de la adquisición y control de filiales. Recomienda un mayor apoyo empírico, sobre el conocimiento de recursos disponibles en las redes para atender las necesidades de los nuevos mercados, así como la gestión de la cadena de suministros locales para tener acceso a los recursos en el entorno primario y sus redes de conocimiento.
