{"product_id":"small-is-significant-mathew-james-manimala-9781837085354","title":"Small Is Significant: Training and Development Needs of Indian Msmes","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mathew James Manimala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1837085358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781837085354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Emerald Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.73d","brand":"Mathew James Manimala","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47452892233983,"sku":"9781837085354","price":67.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1269f408-ae79-44cd-832c-563db39e9e0e.jpg?v=1761931110","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/small-is-significant-mathew-james-manimala-9781837085354","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
