3S&T Initiatives in Sri Lanka
Contemporary SME- A Paradigm Shift
The term ‘Small and Medium Enterprise’ is a reference to the scale of business operation
Growth has been conventionally equated to getting bigger
Size can often create dysfunction in the context of the turbulent business environment of todayContemporary businesses have grown in depth, grown in the quality delivered to the customer and grown in profits but without necessarily growing in sizeThe Bonsai model calls for a shift from large factories of mass production to distributed production“Cloud manufacturing” analogous to the concept of “cloud computing” in ICT
