{"product_id":"9781837085354","title":"Small is Significant : Training and Development Needs of Indian MSMEs by Mathew James India) Manimala","description":"Although the Micro\/Small and Medium Enterprises (M\/SMEs) in India (as also in other countries) make significant contributions to the economy (with about 30% share in GDP, 50% share in exports, and more than 60% share in employment), their developmental needs are addressed primarily through the facilitation of the external environment. In order to take advantage of the external facilitation, M\/SMEs have to develop their internal capabilities, which are hardly attended to. Training is widely recognized as a major tool for developing the internal capabilities of M\/SMEs. However, there were hardly any studies on the training-related issues of Indian M\/SMEs. It is in this context that the present study was undertaken for identifying the perceived training needs and the training-related preferences of M\/SMEs. The study covered a wide range of issues related to training in M\/SMEs, such as the perceived training needs, the preferred training contents, methods, timings, duration, and training providers, as well as the actual training provided, for various levels (owners\/directors, managers, and employees) in the organization. The findings of the study and the recommendations made on their basis will be useful for researchers, trainers\/consultants, and practitioners\/entrepreneurs, as well as policy-makers.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420036772213,"sku":"9781837085354","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781837085354.jpg?v=1764604954","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781837085354","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
