Abstract
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are playing an important role in the global business environment. More than 90% of all firms in the European Union are considered as SMEs [1]. The Kauffman Index 2016 for Startup Activities in the United States reports currently over 500,000 new business owners per month. Also, larger companies often organize their divisions as small enterprises that conduct business like mid-market firms.
