About this title

Review:

"Written from the perspective of an educator and practitioner, Bulgu and Islam's book offers a fresh approach to deal with crisis management in terms of strategic and financial decision-making processes in the much less-represented but continuously growing SME sector..... The book is clearly written, reader- friendly, and comprehensive enough to be used as a complementary textbook in related business courses."

"There is a gap in the literature pertaining to crisis management in SMEs. This book fills in this gap. I believe that the book will be an invaluable resource for all managers, policy-makers and academic researchers concerned with entrepreneurship and SMEs everywhere."
