摘要：
The importance of world-class competitiveness has been widely discussed and there is strong evidence for the hypothesis linking the adoption of best practice directly to the attainment of high performance. However, much of the research has focused on large organisations and their subsidiaries. In this paper, the focus is on small firms. We present our findings in respect of Irish SMEs in the manufacturing industry regarding how competitive they really are. Comparisons are made with almost 1,000 European SMEs using the Microscope database which links the adoption of best practice in manufacturing to improvements in operational and business performance.
