Le management efficace des PME dans un contexte de crise : le cas du Liban

This dissertation focuses on the managerial practices of the Lebanese SMEs leaders. It pursues the overall goal of understanding how, in a crisis marked by rapid change and various uncertainties, these leaders manage to survive and strengthen the resilience of their businesses. From here comes the importance of highlighting these practices in a specific context, a topic that is to the best of our knowledge, not sufficiently covered by the literature. Hence, our research will attempt to understand how Lebanese leaders manage to identify and mobilize the resources and competences available to the company. After a thorough literature review, a framework is built in which the exploratory elements are articulated from the literature. The current study is based on an exploratory qualitative research and founded on an interpretative phenomenological methodology, this thesis falls within the constructivist logic. The case study process that we have adopted for data collection, aims through semi-Structured interviews conducted with fifteen leaders of SMEs, to offer researchers a strategic support tool for managerial decision making, in special conditions. The proposed recommendations will be subject to further verification.
