TY - BOOK AU - Bleuel,Petra TI - The Mittelstand and German pragmatism: The beginnings of a solution for French SMEs? PY - 2018///. N1 - 18 N2 - ‪The current performance of the German economy is the result of economic and social choices driven by the Mittelstand and large companies. The Mittelstand cannot be determined by a specific size but by an entrepreneurial concept based on values, a state of mind, and a distinctive form of company governance evolving in a specific ecosystem. In light of these peculiarities, this model cannot be reproduced. However, the French authorities could draw inspiration from certain support elements that have been devoted to German SMEs.‪ UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-revue-d-economie-industrielle-2018-2-page-9?lang=en ER -
