Abstract
ROGERSON, Christian M. Tracking SMME research in South Africa's priority sectors. S. Afr. j. econ. manag. sci. [online]. 2008, vol.11, n.1, pp.54-68. ISSN 2222-3436.
The National Industrial Policy Framework and the Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative for South Africa emphasise the importance of promoting select 'priority sectors'. This paper provides a review of existing research concerning SMME development in the three priority sectors of tourism, business process outsourcing and offshoring (BPO & O) and, creative industries. The paper argues for the importance of undertaking sector-differentiated research on SMME development in South Africa in order to complement other research which is focussed on sector development as a whole.
