This study is an expedition to find out, using a more inquisitive approach, the state of affairs for doing business vis-à-vis the performance and competitiveness of the SMEs. As a firm-level survey, the study more closely investigates the SME firms in an attempt to answer questions pertaining to their performance and competitiveness. | | Copyright Holder | Botswana Institute for Development Policy Analysis (BIDPA) | | Copyright URL | http://www.bidpa.bw | | ISBN/ISSN | 9789991259796 | | Filesize | 666317 MB | | File Format | PDF | | [ View / download original document ] |
