For many years, Italian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have undergone important changes in their industrial sectors; significant delocalization processes have been taking place and there have been developments in the technology of products and processes. Despite this, there was not a parallel development of organizational aspects and difficulties in managing complexity have often been identified. The aim of this study is to investigate empirically organizational capability in Italian SMEs. The evolutionary path followed by these companies is explored and the role played by performance measurement system, as a potential driver of managerial development in SMEs, is highlighted.Pubblicazioni consigliate
