The third part presents in an organized way the study results and the most relevant five tendencies, concerning SMEs sector in Romania, that are deriving from the data analysis. The forth part aims to present a number of six general recommendations that are capable to soften the economic crisis effects over the SMEs from Romania, and, what is the most important, to create a incentive framework for the creation and the development of SMEs.
