Small and medium enterprise(SME) have always been an interesting subject for research. In comparison to larger business organizations, SMEs faced many challenges including how they manage daily marketing activities and make marketing related decision. This study compiles the related literature review on the issues of traditional marketing and entrepreneurial marketing. Purpose: This study aims ...

This paper describes the Structure-Mapping Engine (SME), a program for studying analogical processing. SME has been built to explore Gentner's Structure-mapping theory of analogy, and provides a \tool kit" for constructing matching algorithms consistent with this theory. Its exibility enhances cognitive simulation studies by simplifying experimentation. Furthermore, SME is very e cient, making ...

Venture capital (VC) improves the nation’s innovative capacity by making investments in early stage businesses that offer high potential but high risk. This paper is concerned with the venture investment fund programmes in Thailand. In particular, the study describes and analyses the VC management of the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Bank of Thailand (SME Bank), the bank set up to hel...

The Standard-Model Extension (SME) provides a comprehensive effective field-theory framework for the study of CPT and Lorentz symmetry. This work reviews the structure and philosophy of the SME and provides some intuitive examples of symmetry violation. The results of recent gravitational tests performed within the SME are summarized including analysis of results from the Laser Interferometer G...

This research studied performance appraisal in a small and medium enterprise (SME) operating in the building and manufacturing sector. The SME consists of a parent company and three subsidiary companies. The research was conducted across all four companies by using questionnaires and interviews. The overall aim of the research was to discover the impact of the SMEs performance appraisal system ...

Four nickel clusters, cyclo-[{Ni(μ-S(i)Pr)(μ-SMe)}(6)] (1), cyclo-[{Ni(μ-StBu)(μ-SMe)}(6)] (2), cyclo-[{Ni(μ-S(i)Pr)(μ-SEt)}(6)] (3) and cyclo-[{Ni(μ-StBu)(μ-SEt)}(10)] (4), based on thiolate ligands have been successfully synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectra, UV-vis-NIR spectra, powder X-ray diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Intriguingly, the SMe a...

Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) includes the planning, management, control and improvement of enterprise architecture. The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is the best known and most trusted enterprise architecture standard used to improve the operational e ciency. It brings many benefits, but is also associated with costs. While the applicability to large enterprises is beyon...

The Standard-Model Extension (SME) is defined as the general effective field theory (EFT) that incorporates Lorentz violation. In flat Minkwoski spacetime, the SME has the following features: ⇒ it is defined in terms of an observer-scalar Lagrangian L ⇒ it includes dynamical matter fields φ, ψ, A, . . . ⇒ it includes fixed background tensors aμ, bμ, cμν , . . . that break Lorentz symmetry ⇒ it ...

Cooperation is a key success factor for small and medium enterprises (SME) in most of the countries. At the beginning of the 2000s, a large European study has analysed the extent and the effect of cooperation between SMEs. However, how successful have been cooperation of SMEs during the economic crisis of the last years? Has the cooperation rate decreased or increased? What are the drivers and ...

This paper proposes a model for the integration of a formal ontology and a folksonomy within a knowledge-based system. We evaluated such a model by designing ARNEIS 2.0, an “intelligent” and social web-based repository of software solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). ARNEIS 2.0 is a work in progress and aims at exploiting the integration of Semantic Web (ontologies and reason...
