SMEs in developing economies are faced with numerous
challenges that make a fair competition between them
and their counterparts in developed economies challenging.
It is widely accepted that SMEs do play a pivotal
role in the economic growth of any country, notwithstanding
the numerous challenges that they have to contend with.
It is, therefore, only fair that considerable attention be
accorded to these SMEs with a view to finding ways to
help them improve their competitiveness.
