SME Leaders’ management practices in a turbulent context: the case of Lebanon
Small and medium-sized enterprises are a major constituent of the Lebanese economic fabric. In recent decades, the leaders of these SMEs have played a key role in the survival of their businesses. This research aims at understanding how these leaders manage to survive in a turbulent context marked by perpetual changes that are almost constantly renewed, and this by showing how, in such an environment, they manage to mobilize resources and skills and to deploy dynamic capabilities in order develop effective and sustainable practices. The results of a qualitative exploratory research aim at presenting to researchers a “reaction model” which could, in a similar context, enlighten SME managers on the required managerial performance.
