A METHODOLOGY FOR PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF SMEs NETWORKS

摘要

The study of a network of Small-Mid Enterprises (SMEs) for purpose of analysing its performances and evaluating possible improvements is one of the most challenging actions in the present economic situation of the industrial framework in developed countries. Up till now, no precise methodology still exists for a robust performance evaluation of the industry networks. The goal of this paper is to contribute in overcoming this shortage, by proposing a model for the analysis of industrial networks of SMEs. The usefulness of the described model is proved by outlining how it is going to be applied in the CODESNET European Project.
