A chapter in Hidden Champions in Dynamically Changing Societies, 2021, pp 67-84 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Albania is a small country with limited business resources. As the country has suffered during a long economic transition, doing business in it is not quite easy. Companies are not yet willing to share their successes and failures due to cultural constraints and the business environment. During the early 1990s, Albanian business focused mainly on services and commerce as an easy way to get the return on investment in a short period. However, in recent years it is breaking into new areas where innovation and creativity are becoming essential. Entrepreneurs show maturity in protecting their achievements and are conscious that they needed to deal with numerous challenges to achieve success. Nevertheless, companies in Albania are not growing enough due to cultural constraints and the business environment. It was challenging to identify hidden champions that meet the conditions of Simon’s methodology in Albania in 2018.
