Small and medium size enterprises in both business to business and consumer markets are particularly vulnerable to economic downturns. Concentrating on the Greek economic crisis, one of the toughest and most prolonged on a global scale, the present research sheds light on both anthropocentric and business-centric factors that helped SMEs survive, therefore, providing a valuable survival manual. Per findings of two studies performed under the given economically intense conditions, it is evidenced that the right answer to survival rests upon: (a) the entrepreneurs' personality traits and skills that affect the market and entrepreneurial orientations of SMEs, (b) the adoption of such orientations that keep impacting the firms' performance, and finally (c) the implementation of strategy relevant to reaching higher quality standards for products and services, combined with tactics relevant to downsizing, marketing actions, extroversion, and financial management.

This paper investigates the linkages among economic growth, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and employees in Malaysia. It uses the total number of SME employees as a third variable to be associated with economic and SME growth using a panel dataset covering the period from 1998 to 2017. There are five main economic sectors in Malaysia: agriculture, construction, mining, manufacturing and services. The aim of the paper is to provide a better understanding of the relationship between SMEs, economic growth and the number of employees in the different sectors. Our findings indicate various causal relationships among the three variables in different sectors. The results of the study found that Malaysian economic growth contributed to the growth of the SME sector. In contrast, it showed that the growth of the SME sector only contributed to the growth of the manufacturing industry. The information gained will be useful for policymakers and help the government to plan for the future of the country by focusing on worthwhile activity. Contribution/Originality: The paper's primary contribution is finding that SME is a key driver in contributed to the economic growth only in manufacturing activities. Otherwise in other activities, we found that the economic growth was the factor that stimulated the SMEs and at the same time increased the total number of employees.

“…No que se refere as ações que os empreendedores ou organizações tomam em resposta as crises, como mudanças na oferta de produtos/serviços, no marketing e na prática de venda, essas estão intimamente ligadas a capacidade de flexibilidade e adaptação que são condicionantes para o desenvolvimento da resiliência (KUCKERTZ, et al, 2020). A resiliência empreendedora é o resultado de interações entre o empreendedor e o meio ambiente, que fornece ao empreendedor o conhecimento e as habilidades necessárias para enfrentar a incerteza, sem a resiliência os indivíduos seriam menos capazes de tomar as ações necessárias para iniciar ou adaptar seus negócios em tempos de crise (BULLOUGH; RENKO, 2013;LEONELLI;MASCIARELLI;FONTANA, 2019). Com isso os empreendedores podem criar mudanças e oportunidades e inovar em produtos ou processos, ser inovador é uma condição prévia para ser resiliente (KUCKERTZ, et al, 2020).…”

O presente artigo trata-se de uma revisão da literatura que tem como objetivo identificar os temas mais pesquisados, no período de 2015 a maio/2020, na literatura de empreendedorismo e inovação num contexto de crise. A pesquisa foi realizada em três etapas e a última envolveu o acoplamento bibliográfico por autores a fim de identificar a similaridade de temas publicados. Com isso foi possível identificar três grandes categorias de temas publicados ao longo do período de recorte, que são: alternativas para o empreendedorismo em períodos de crise e pós-crise; influência das políticas públicas no empreendedorismo e inovação em perídos de crise; e fatores que influenciam empreendedorismo e a inovação na crise do covid-19. A partir de uma melhor compreensão dos principais temas já pesquisados novas pesquisas podem ser desenvolvidas e outras abordagens podem ser mais exploradas para ampliar o debate sobre o tema.
