Operational management and operations strategies: an SME perspective

Abstract

This exploratory study examines the role of operational management and operations strategies in small- and medium-sized business communities. Using empirical research, it was discovered that a significant proportion of these enterprises apply operational 'emphases', that is, a combination of various strategies and tactics. Many of these 'emphases' or 'spectra' were used in disparate industries and made substantial contributions to the competitive positioning sought by the organisations involved.
