Development specialists and international fund managers describe the present wave of interest in small and medium-scale enterprises or SMEs as a global phenomenon.  Many developing countries in fact have placed SME development and promotion on top of their economic agenda.  With the failure of past industrialization policies favoring large enterprises to stimulate wide-ranging development, SMEs are being given renewed emphasis as engines of economic growth and poverty alleviation.
