Increasing the crisis resilience of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Brief description
Studies show that SMEs neither have suitable early warning systems nor are they in a position to develop suitable countermeasures in corporate crises on their own. In addition, SMEs often have special characteristics that prevent them from recognizing and reacting to corporate crises: owner-centered, patriarchal organized, underfunded – to name just a few.
Our project goal is clear:
To enable SMEs to identify and analyze early warning indicators for corporate crises and to develop individually suitable measures for crisis prevention / management.
Professionalise vocational training and other support structures and increase the effectiveness of their offers.
Increase the resilience of founders to crises by raising awareness of early warning signals.
To provide political decision-makers with up-to-date and in-depth knowledge about early crisis indicators that can be incorporated into future guidelines.
