‘With significant focus on the impact of the Covid pandemic on SMEs, this book has considerable contemporary relevance. But as the editors emphasise, the Covid pandemic is just one of several sources of turbulence and disruption that are currently impacting SMEs across the globe. Moreover, as they go on to note, turbulence and disruption are recurring events, giving the book ongoing relevance beyond the pandemic.’
