Proposals for SME Competitiveness
This chapter draws on the findings of previous chapters and presents a menu of recommendations to enhance the competitiveness of small firms in Mauritius. It is hoped that our suggestions will achieve three basic objectives: remove policy and institutional impediments to direct SME exporting; reduce policy and institutional obstacles to indirect exporting from SMEs i.e., sub-contracting/supplier relations between SMEs and large export firms; and provide ideas on new products and activities that can be undertaken by SMEs in both the domestic and export market.
