"Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) form the backbone of emerging
economies. This is especially true in Ghana, where they represent around 90% of
registered businesses and contribute significantly to employment and the
economy of the west African nation.
But these businesses face distinct challenges. They must stay competitive in
fast-evolving markets while addressing the environmental impacts of their
actions. Our recent research investigated how Ghanaian SMEs are achieving this
balance.
Ghana is a useful example for SME growth because it has focused on
industrialisation coupled with sustainability, at the same time as the
government offers initiatives to move the economy from agricultural exports
towards manufacturing.
But SMEs in emerging economies like that of Ghana often lack the resources to
make radical changes or develop entirely new products from scratch. However, we
found that two distinct strategies that allow SMEs to innovate in a sustainable
way."
