Abstract: Research on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has been the focus of numerous academic studies, forming a significant body of literature with a broad and multidisciplinary perspective. This study aims to analyse SMEs strategic choices and behaviours in different economic contexts, using various variables and theoretical perspectives. Research on SMEs in emerging countries reveals significant differences compared to developed countries due to disparities in economic, cultural, social, and political conditions. We employ a comparative method to analyse SME strategies and associated public policies across different contexts. This study will compare developing, emergent and developed countries to identify commonalities and differences in SME strategies and public policies. This approach will provide a comprehensive overview, with detailed explanations of these differences to follow. Articles published in the top 35 journals within the Web of Science database that focus on SMEs, specifically those classified in quartiles 1 and 2 of the journal citation report, Will be included.
