Abstract: Now facing global competition and increasing demands from major customers and prime contractors, many manufacturing SMEs feel growing pressure to develop their organisation and become world-class enterprises. An empirical study of 201 Canadian manufacturing SMEs was designed to answer the following research questions: What is the relationship between levels of network development, market development and product development? What is the impact of the entrepreneur on the level of organisational development? And what is the impact of organisational development on enterprise performance?
