Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are looking for a sustainable and profitable business concept. They use a human resource model according to the situation and establish a democratic system with flexible work, focusing on responsibility and initiative and increasing the self-control of the team´s members. Self-managing teams have been used more and more in recent years in the business environment. They are relatively autonomous work groups whose members share responsibility and leadership to accomplish their independent tasks. Their objective is to develop a type of collective knowledge that requires the pooling of individual knowledge. Their characteristics include independent, autonomous decision making, shared responsibility, and shared leadership. Sometimes, self-managing teams are also responsible for personnel decisions within the team, such as working hours, the selection and contracting of members, dismissal, and even determining salaries. In sum, the authors propose self-managing teams (such as High Performance Practices) as a good human resource management in small and medium enterprises and show how they can help to create organizational effectiveness and competitive advantage in SMEs.

Over the past 30 years, the agrifood industry in developing countries has been undergoing rapid transformation in structure and behavior. These changes have been driven by both market forces and government policy, particularly foreign direct investment, and have the potential to affect farmers and consumers; the former via increased incomes and modernized technologies, and the latter via cheaper and safer food. This article examines the transformation of the agrifood industry in developing countries, focusing on the sector’s three segments: retail, wholesale, and processing. It first looks at the factors that drive the transformation of the industry and its procurement systems/supply chains that are shared across the segments. It then considers the “symbioses” among the three segments, highlighting how they reinforce each other and enter preferred supplier relations with one another. It also discusses emerging impacts of the above transformations on farmers as well as small and medium enterprises. Finally, it describes programs that promote linkages for a faster, more integrated, and more inclusive growth path for these transformations over the next decade.

The results of a cross-cultural study of volitional regulation in Komi-Zyryans and Russians are presented. Two samples of 100 representatives of Komi (Syktyvkar) and 100 representatives of Russian (Moscow) was compared. The samples were balanced by gender, age and other socio-demographic characteristics. To diagnose the individual characteristics of volitional regulation of the respondents, the following methods were used: “Action-control scale” by Yu. Kuhl, “Questionnaire for revealing the expression of self-control in the emotional sphere, activity and behavior”, self-evaluation of volitional qualities. The significant differences between Komi-Zyryans and Russians in behavioral (p=0,05) and social self-control (p=0,01), self-appraisals of volitional qualities: disciplined (p=0,01), persistent (p=0,01), strong-willed (p=0,05), initiative (p=0,05), restrained (p=0,05), patient (p=0,01), stubborn (p=0,01), calm (p=0,01), attentive (p=0,01) were showed. The obtained results confirm the hypothesis about the presence of cross-cultural differences in the parameters of volitional regulation and confirm the ideas of the volition as a higher mental function.

This work aims to analyze the barriers that are perceived as obstacles for family SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) to implement and consider cost accounting; detecting the benefits obtained in the adoption of a cost system and the existing relationship between performance and degree of use of cost management control techniques, with their permanence and generation of profits. The study was carried out with 90 family SMEs from the business line of the city of Mexicali, Mexico. The results show that the most important barriers to implementing cost accounting and management techniques are: The perception that they increase the work of accounting staff and the lack of cost specialists within the company. Among the expected benefits, when introducing new management systems, is to achieve accuracy in the information on the profitability of the product and obtain a reduction in costs in the company.

In all evaluations of universities, either of programs, schools, or the institution as a whole body, the starting point is the self-evaluation report. Its importance is crucial since all the recommendations and conclusions are based on its content. The purpose of this chapter is to reveal the importance of the self-development process as part of the self-management strategies that need to be implemented in higher education universities, in the context of the quality assessment procedures. In the contemporary context, the process of university development has to be understood as a self-development process, taking into consideration all the reforms and changes generated since the the Bologna Declaration (1999). Therefore, it is important to reveal the characteristics of the process of self-development for the higher education institution, to identify most relevant methods of management development, and to explain how self-management strategies can be supported for universities to become better off. In addition, the concept of quality convergence is expressed on the basis of the self-development process.

Brands and brand management in commercial organisations have been studied for decades. Research has led to highly developed models and practices, with many studies recognising brand management as an important driver of competitive advantage (Aaker, 2010; de Chernatony, 2001). Similar theoretical and practical studies have been carried out amongst SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) (e.g., Krake, 2005) and UK nonprofits (e.g., Frumkin & Kim, 2001) also demonstrating positive connections between brand management and organisational performance. However, the focus of research in UK nonprofits has been on the largest organisations by income, typically the very largest (e.g., Hankinson & Lomax, 2006; Stride & Lee, 2007). By comparison, there are no leading journal published studies into small UK charity brands and brand management. The small charity brand study set out to address this gap in research. One hundred and thirty-seven charities with annual turnovers of £1million or less and a focus group of eight small charity practitioners participated. The study investigated whether small charities are managing their brands and, if so, whether they experienced the performance benefits evidenced in extant research from other sectors. It investigated whether management strategies in small nonprofits made a difference to realising operational advantages. The goal was to develop practical Information, Advice, and Guidance (IAG). The study found that it was necessary to adapt existing models of brand management to make them relevant to small charities and indicated that, when the brand is managed by a team of people across different managerial levels, the longerterm benefits (outcomes) of branding practices are better realised. From participants’ contributions, it was possible to draw up models of branding specific to small nonprofits and identify the IAG required to manage brands across the areas studied; brand benefits, measured in outputs and outcomes.

Background: The gap between small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large businesses that perform risk assessment is significant. SMEs continuously face many operational risks and uncertainties in their daily operations, and these risks threaten to reduce productivity, increase costs and reduce profits.Aim: The purpose of this article was to develop an operational risk management framework that SMEs can use to identify and analyse risks in their operations and take corrective actions to mitigate these risks.Setting: Small and medium-sized enterprises in South Africa do not view risk management as a key component of organisational success, despite evidence that businesses that adopt risk management strategies are more likely to survive and grow.Methods: The article is exploratory in nature, and a conceptual analysis approach was used to formulate the framework. This study reviewed relevant literature sources on risk published between 2002 and 2017.Results: The four process steps of risk management were used as a reference point and form the foundation for the operational risk management framework. The categories of operational; marketing; technical and financial risks were identified from a review of available literature on risk management.Conclusion: There is a dearth of research that deals with operational risk management frameworks for SMEs. The expected contribution of this article, therefore, is twofold: firstly, it is envisaged that managers or owners of SMEs could use the proposed framework as a tool to appraise and minimise their operational risks; secondly, it will add to the current body of knowledge on risk appraisal for SMEs.
