Small and medium enterprises (SME) are those of business groups which are believed to survive even when economic crisis occurs. The increasing number of those business groups allows more job opportunities for people, and thus it could impact positively towards the decreasing number of unemployments. Unfortunately, the level of managerial skills and ability among SME are relatively low due to a number of SME entrepreneurs who still hold Bachelor degrees. In addition, the fact indicates that the quality of SME resources is low, especially in the fields of management, organization, mastery of technology and marketing. The low educational level among small and medium entrepreneurs was apparently not supported by capacity building through training, education, and programmed comparative studies. On the other hand, human resources (HR) also plays an important role in gaining success, because sophisticated and complete facilities cannot guarantee the success of an organization if they are not supported by quality of human resources who will use the facility. This study aims at examining strategies that can be used by SME as an effort to improve HR capacity using purposive sampling method; and then the data is analyzed using multi-linear regression. The result shows that capacity development which is proxied through education, skills and ability variables partially or simultaneously have positive and significant effects on HR development.

The role of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is recognized globally given their contribution to total productivity and job opportunities. However, the majority of SMEs tend to fail due to a lack of marketing knowledge and managerial skills or technical expertise. Professional accountants are in a unique situation to help SME owner/managers to achieve their business objectives and bridge the skills gap. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the factors that affect the decisions of owner/managers of SMEs in Iranian manufacturing sector to utilise the professional accountants’ advisory services and to examine the impact of these advisory services on SME performance using the Resource-Based View (RBV) of the firm. Based on a questionnaire survey data of 658 Iranian manufacturing SMEs, our regression analysis reveals a significant positive relationship between utilisation of professional accountants′ advisory services and three independent variables, namely, knowledge of owner/manager, competitive intensity and complexity of marketing decisions. Furthermore, we evidence that the use of advisory services is significant and positively associated with SME performance. More importantly, utilisation of professional accountants′ advisory services partially mediates the relationship between knowledge of owner/manager, competitive intensity and complexity of marketing decisions and firm performance. Therefore, we provide a specific, theoretically and empirically grounded prediction of how utilisation of professional accountants′ advisory services influences performance with implications for theory and practice.
