INITIATIVE TOWARDS
SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES (SME)


Objective

The use of strategic internal and external information is crucial for the present and future competitiveness for small and medium-sized enterprises all over the world, and for the national economies since 90% of industry on a world wide basis, is SMEs. Many national governments have taken considerable actions and initiatives; intergovernmental organisations are active contributors, trade unions like EU as heavily involved, and development organisations are proactive. Still it remains a challengable issue to bridge the gap between the actual business need of the small enterprise with the to-the-point information resource from the waste ocean of potential sources of information.

FID/II aim at taking the lead in several initiatives directed towards information management in small and medium-sized enterprices (SMEs).
