To study the competitiveness of SMEs were pursued issues in these areas: management of the company, marketing, strategic planning, company’s products/services, labor, activity on international market. The research was based on direct interviews, conducted with managers of companies through questionnaires. Information was collected during February-March 2012, the sample consisting of 348 small and medium enterprises in Vâlcea County. The study summarizes the responses of managers on issues that characterize the company's competitiveness.
