Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Small- and medium-sized enterprises can improve their export performance through innovation. Different innovation types can be considered, but success is much likelier when small firms operating in the manufacturing sector focus most strongly on product innovation as opposed to innovation of services, processes, or business models. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
