Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 100%, University of Sussex, language: English, abstract: Small- and medium-sized companies (SMEs) represent about 95% of enterprises in Europe, with a high amount of small companies ranging between 22% - 66% as well as high importance all over the globe. Nevertheless, the sector of SMEs has been ignored and poorly understood for many decades. Eventually, a research conducted by the economist David Birch published in 1979 revealed that especially SMEs are responsible for economic growth in general and are the prime source for job creation, accounting for up to 60% of the overall employment. As a result, the OECD considers them to be the core for economic growth and the dominant form of businesses worldwide in the future, acknowledging the importance of SMEs within global economy. Knowledge about small- and medium-sized enterprises has become even more important due to the fact that the interest of small firms to operate on foreign markets increased in the last decades. This essay depicts the characteristics of small- and medium-sized companies, compares it to multinational companies (MNCs) to determine advantages as well as disadvantages and, finally, examines certain opportunities for SMEs offered by globalization and internationalisation.
