ABSTRACT
There is no doubt that small and micro enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial economic role, especially in developing countries and economies where low income is the greatest problem and economic growth is at its lowest. In this context the question of heterogeneity is often raised. In this respect, in the SME’s universe, it is imperative to recognize that different categories of enterprises tend to offer different contributions to the dual goals of poverty alleviation and economic growth. And as will be explored, the role of management training and all that it entails to develop managers and improve their managerial skills and effectiveness was the central focus of the novel study on which this volume is based.
