SMEs are significant job creators and drivers of innovation and competition in most economic sectors. 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.

Under the contemporary business conditions of hyper-competition, incessant change and pressure for growth and profitability, better management of marketing budgets has become an imperative for companies. In addition, properly monitoring and measuring marketing and brand communication strategies and tactics has become a critical factor for success across the geographic and typological organisational spectrum.This book explores how appropriately applied management initiatives on marketing and brand communications, through defined and measured consumer-centred processes, can be more successful and provide significant marketing return on investment (ROI). Moreover, the notions, methods and approaches described here ultimately constitute the tools of developing, measuring and improving strategy design and implementation. In addition, they are linked to a number of wider business goals, such as increased customer basis, stronger customer relationships, cost control, increased consumer loyalty, and brand building.In this vein, the book proposes various means of generating greater returns from marketing and brand investments, maximising both their efficiency and effectiveness. This, in turn, allows for greater financial resources to be reinvested towards consumer and employee satisfaction, strengthening the stability and viability of the company.
