Abstract: The particular point of view of SMEs in Extended Enterprises is that they can rise competitiveness on the national and international markets, which is important from the globalization point of view. Thus, they have quite a lot technical problems. Especially, SMEs are not aware enough of using ICT tools, which is necessary for forming associations quickly. Throughout the 20th century, views on the positive role of SMEs as contributors to the development of the economy were marginalized. Recent research indicates that the situation has changed profoundly. Researches show a distinct and consistent shift away from large firms and towards small enterprises within the manufacturing sector of each developed western country, as well as in most developing new member states. Many factors have contributed to this worldwide trend, for example, the public hostility towards the larger corporation, in the 21st century, and the continual demand for entrepreneurs.
