MANAGEMENT OF SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES (SMES) IN KOSOVO

Abstract

The objective of strategic development for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is to enhance their capabilities in order to promote local economic growth and enhance the overall economic prospects and living standards of the population. The implementation of strategic planning is crucial for fostering the competitive edge of businesses. Compact. This entails a collaborative effort between the SME sector, official institutions, and partners from the corporate and non-governmental sectors to enhance economic growth and employment opportunities. The study will be carried out utilizing a sample of individuals who have completed their Bachelor of Science in Computer Knowledge (BSCK) degree at an early stage. The findings of this study, conducted between 2010 and 2012, indicate that most managers of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) concur that the firm's pursuit of wealth is primarily carried out through activities that intersect the realms of entrepreneurship and strategic management. These activities encompass innovation, networking, internationalization, organizational learning, top management teams, and governance, as well as growth orientation. Considering the changes in the economic and political system in the era after the conflict in Kosovo, this paper will impact decision-makers in the design of policies that will improve the business environment and conduct business in Kosovo.
