Seminar

Businesses worldwide are focusing today on sharpening strategies, reducing costs, improving quality and increasing production. This becomes more important for Small and Medium Enterprises, which have low shock absorption capacity. SMEs form the bottom of the pyramid of the Indian Economy, which comprises of more than 17 million such units. This sector also contributes to nearly 40% of the total industrial output.
Small and Medium businesses worldwide are regarded as the growth engine of the economy, acting as the “Seed-Bed” from which large companies grow. However like any business enterprise, the SMEs have to optimally leverage all resources available to them, including human capital and need to build a new approach to spot the emerging globally competitive opportunities to encounter the challenges in the present scenario.
Keeping in view the global meltdown and business challenges, it is critical to seize opportunities that would add great impetus to growing businesses.
