Abstract(s)

This paper focus on small and medium firms (SMES) success stories in the traditional sectors of the Portuguese economy. Our contribution aims to a better understanding of the relation between firms’ goals and organizational configurations. The empirical evidence is based on qualitative interviews with top managers of two Portuguese SMES in the footwear (Marisport) and water heater (Vulcano) industries. Results allow us to draw implications for organizational effectiveness (to review the research and political agenda) in similar emerging economies.
