Applying the Learning to SMEs

Abstract

Over 90% of the working population in the UK are employed in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) with less than 50 employees. All of the case studies presented in this book are of large organisations; some multinational, some public sector, all operating out of more than one site. So what lessons can we learn from these large organisations for the SME, and how can they operate a form of talent management when they don’t have large organisation structures in which to move people around?
