Abstract: Abstract Recent global crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, severe supply chain disruptions, and ongoing geopolitical tensions, have profoundly reshaped the entrepreneurial and financial landscapes. This Special Issue of the Small Business Economics Journal explores these transformations. Key insights include the impact of unconventional monetary policy on SME financing, the success factors of bailout programs, the critical role of active investors in fostering firm resilience, the implementation of digitizing technologies, and the adoption of survival strategies on a microeconomic level. Together, these findings underscore the flexibility and resilience of entrepreneurs and offer actionable lessons for policy and practice.
