In almost every country in the world, the largest part of revenue and employment is generated by Small and Medium- Sized Enterprises (SMEs). Paradoxically, the attention of most business authors and university programs has been predominantly directed to the big corporations, their special issues and insights.

In SEPT, we are convinced that the future of our economies relies on the SMEs. For this reason, we have developed a program dedicated to conveying theoretical knowledge, application-oriented findings and practice-relevant experience with regard to the management, promotion and development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Special issues addressed are the identification of innovation possibilities inside SMEs, their growth potentials as well as new concepts for promoting them and generating positive multiplier effects on their business environments.
