The recession highlighted the need for end-consumer support, providing products at pricing consistent with their technological value and customer support. This closer relationship with the 12 end consumer will also make it possible to capture accurate input to help define future strategies based on actual needs. Finally, by keeping a more open mind, it may be possible to leverage opportunities with related sectors”. “To take full advantage of these opportunities – he clarifies – it is, however, necessary to work as a team, supported by a strong business network and trade associations. And this is a weakness among Italian entrepreneurs, the outright individualism that, for SMEs, translates to an inability to face the challenges of the world. So, I would advise businesses to invest in learning and in skilled labor (these are the backbone of enterprise); invest in trade associations, participate in them and share ideas; try to leverage partnerships with other companies in order to reach a certain essential critical mass to meet increasingly complex demands; and internationalize the market, leveraging the added value to the end consumer”.
