Chapter 2 in SMEs in Asian Developing Countries, 2009, pp 17-36 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Economic development creates a natural place for the development and growth of enterprises of all sizes of establishment (micro, small, medium as well as large). The size of a business establishment depends on a variety of factors, of which the two most important are market and technology (Panandiker, 1996, p. 10). With respect to the first factor, if the market is small or very small, only small- or micro-scale economic activities, or SEs and MIEs, will be viable. The market size itself is determined by the level of real income per capita and the size of population, which together determine the actual number of buyers.
