It serves as a conceptual framework to investigate a distinct category of firms characterized by size-based criteria, typically defined by thresholds for employee numbers, annual turnover, or balance sheet totals, which vary by jurisdiction and industry. Research in this field examines their operational dynamics, strategic behaviors, contributions to economic development, innovation capabilities, and specific challenges, acknowledging their significant role in employment generation, market competition, and economic resilience.
