Description of the research topic:
Although small firms make up the vast majority - 99.8-99.9% - of the firms in the competitive sector, employ roughly 65-75% of the workforce and account for 53-58% of GDP, our knowledge of them is still limited. The resource-based concept of competitiveness provides a good theoretical framework to systematically research small firms. Competitiveness itself is a very popular line of research, with national, regional, industry and firm-level orientations. However, the study of the competitiveness of small firms is a relatively underdeveloped area where it is relatively easier to find interesting and novel results.
Possible research directions:
The result of the rather long questionnaire is that many research directions can be opened. In recent years, there have been publications in the fields of competences, strategy, strategic configurations, marketing, online presence, human resources, innovation, internationalization, financial performance, both in single countries and in multi-country data. Of particular interest are analyses aimed at international comparisons. Research can be done in virtually all functional areas. In particular, I am suggesting the examination of online and web practices, innovation, strategic configurations, and internationalization.
