The strength of Small and Medium European
Enterprises can be found in the productive flexibility, which
adequately meets marketing needs. On the other hand their weak
point is the incapacity of training both young new people new
to the firm and long term workers, according to a specific programme
and foreseeing future needs (see the different National and Community
researches). All this is particularly important as regards the
development possibilities of SMEs in view of the rapid technological,
organizing and productive changes, which the same firms have
to face owing to the market globalization. If European SMEs are
unable to analyze their internal organization by foreseeing and
determining training needs as regards the productive transformation
strategies and goals, they will probably run the risk of not
overcoming the impact with planetary evolution. |
