SME Day 2019 Book: Fit for Equity in SMEs
An important, but too little discussed topic in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is "equity". The eighth volume in the "Fit for ..." series by the organizers of the Swiss SME Day therefore provides impulses for everyday SME life and poses critical questions to managers.
The quartet of authors - Urs Fueglistaller, Roger Tinner, Walter Weber and Tobias Wolf agree: "This book is essentially about the question of how we can "do justice" to all our stakeholders in small and medium-sized enterprises: the customers, the employees, the owners or shareholders, the competitors, the state, the public, the family".
This already eighth volume of the series brings - as usual compact and reader-friendly - 7×3 questions and answers on "Fairness and perception of justice in SMEs". The guidebook provides tips on how to approach justice in everyday business life and poses critical questions for SME managers, who can use them to examine and compare their own attitudes and actions.
Central role of justice
"Equity," is the authors' main thesis, "plays a central role in small and medium-sized enterprises from their foundation to succession planning. Consciously discussed and reflected upon, the topic is (still and unfortunately) too little." The aim here is not for readers to know exactly what equity is at the end (nor do the authors). Rather, they want to ask the questions that will make it easier for SME CEOs to become fairer to themselves and others in their everyday lives.
Eighth volume of a proven book series
"Fit for Justice in SMEs" encourages entrepreneurs to bring the abstract-seeming but very concrete topic of justice more into everyday life. The book "Fit für Gerechtigkeit in KMU - 7×3 Fragen und Antworten zu Fairness und Verantwortung in KMU" is published by KMU Verlag HSG and can be ordered under www.kmu-tag.ch/buchbestellung be ordered.
