“…Ainda dentro da linha de confrontação às limitações institucionais, sete outros artigos mostraram a importância da capacitação do dirigente das pequenas empresas, seja para usar as inovações tecnológicas (Boateng et al, 2008) ou mesmo para desenvolver novas capabilidades e habilidades (Du et al, 2016;Konopielko & Bell, 1998). Vale destacar a importância do dirigente acreditar pessoalmente na inovação (Madrid-Guijarro et al, 2009) e principalmente, manter o foco no negócio, ainda que o dirigente esteja em meio a um conflito armado (Muhammad et al, 2016).…”

Resumo A gestão de pequenas empresas frequentemente convive com a escassez de recursos, além de outras limitações. Em particular, as limitações institucionais levam os dirigentes de pequenas empresas a realizar ações inovadoras de planejamento e gestão para que seus negócios sobrevivam e cresçam. Exemplificando tais ações e apresentando aos dirigentes de pequenas empresas alternativas que levem à superação das limitações institucionais, esta revisão da literatura selecionou 31 artigos de diferentes partes do mundo. Consolidados em uma tipologia, os artigos apresentam ações realizadas por dirigentes de pequenas empresas em resposta a limitações institucionais. Este trabalho serve a pesquisadores para que aprofundem os estudos quanto à efetividade dessas ações em mais contextos ou, ainda, que desenvolvam novas práticas. Serve também de inspiração para os dirigentes superarem limitações institucionais e usarem ações inovadoras para a gestão e o planejamento de processos ou modelos de negócio. Palavras-chave Empreendedorismo; Empreendedores; Pequenas empresas; Limitações institucionais.

The SME sector is exposed to an arduous and fierce competition to the disadvantage of enterprises that are actually non-competitive. Therefore, the problems of SMEs in developing countries are rich and complex. Algeria isn't immune to these difficult conditions; the SME is exposed to an open and intense environment. Public authorities have developed and have been implementing upgrade programs to promote the SME sector. Thus, the study seeks to find the key success factors of upgrade programs, and explores the dimension of adaptation of SMEs in developing and emerging countries, Algeria is a practical case. The study is theoretical. It aims to determine a theoretical model on the success factors of upgrade programs. The research operates a diverse literature review in emerging and developing countries. To explain this research, we will use the theory of resources dependency. While exploring the literature on upgrade programs in emerging and developing countries; our research was able to theoretically identify different success factors of the upgrade programs. In addition, research has managed to develop a theoretical model on the success factors of the upgrade programs.

These include vocational training and education, infrastructure projects, individual and information technology development (Konopielko and Bell, 1997).

This paper examines the factors contributing to the growth of SMEs by using a conceptual framework derived from the concept of resource; cluster; networking; and institutional theories. The Vietnamese experience suggests that institutional weakness and lack of proper coordination between policy making, implementation and market conditions has made the support regime ineffective. Literature review indicates that Vietnamese government has mainly focused on increase the number of SMEs rather than improving the performance of SMEs and strengthening the business competitiveness. This must be facilitated by the critical entrepreneurial role of the state. Furthermore, this paper argues that no adopted model from one country to another country would be suitable without consideration. It is vital to address the issues of external business environment, market environment, and social culture. The paper then recommends that the evolving relationship between the state’s entrepreneurial role and market factors are parts of the success picture. More importantly, support policies may be invalidated by the unbalance relationship between the state and market. Unfortunately, such important relationship has not thoroughly been identified by the Vietnamese government.
