Abstract

A cursory look at data on small and medium enterprises (SME) in India shows that large numbers of SMEs are failing. This study found fundamental reasons behind this failure besides providing insights into what makes few SMEs successfully manage competition. The data was collected from 517 auto-component manufacturing units in large automotive SME clusters of India. The research highlighted the key role of business planning in Indian SMEs. The SMEs need to proactively manage innovation and quality, improve financial agility, navigate change process and assess global impact. The study also looks at the role of benchmarking, negative attribution and buyer-supplier relationship in sustaining competitiveness by SMEs in post-WTO (World Trade Organization) era.
