EMPOWERING SME MANAGERS IN PALESTINE

Opis produktu

SMEs create employment wealth and a potential for future growth. In Palestine they can also mean survival and freedom. In Palestine they are not a choice but a necessity for sustainable development. But by their nature SMEs are vulnerable in a business environment characterized by uncertainty. To give the managers of SMEs in Palestine a realistic chance of success they need training to enable them to meet the challenge of running their enterprises effectively. Drawing on original research undertaken within Palestine this book explores how the challenge is being met (and considers how it might be even more successfully met) by enabling and empowering the owners and managers of these pioneering businesses.Contents: Preface: Acknowledgements: Small and medium sized enterprises: Managerial issues: an overview: Management training and development in the Middle East: SMEs in Palestine: Categories of skills for the development of SME managers: Obstacles and weaknesses facing training and development: Summary and conclusions: Bibliography: Index.Farhad Analoui is Professor at the Bradford Centre for International Development University of Bradford UK.
