- W2892294540 abstract "This thesis aims to understand how owner-managersof SMEs in a developing country manage their organizations in aturbulent environment, and how they seek to create resilience intheir organizations in this context. Specifically, this thesisinvestigates the major factors influencing the managementstrategies of infrastructure construction sector SMEs in NorthCyprus. The primary data for the research was collected fromowner-managers of infrastructure construction SMEs in North Cyprusthat held a Class-1 classification in the sector, allowing them toparticipate in infrastructure projects in North Cyprus. Twelve SMEswith Class-1 classification are identified in the BuildingConstruction Association of North Cyprus (CT-BCA), of which nineout of twelve consented to participate in the research. Aqualitative research approach was adopted, with primary datagathered through face-to-face semi-structured interviews with theseowner-managers; the collected data was then subjected to thematicanalysis. The research found that the most influential factorsinfluencing the management strategies of SMEs in North Cyprus werethe macro characteristics of the socio-political environment, theindividual characteristics of the owner-managers, and thecharacteristics of the infrastructure construction sector itself.These factors, which are linked in deep and nuanced ways, werediscovered to impact the perceptions of the owner-managers and toaffect their approaches towards the management of their SMEs. Byevaluating the interaction between these factors, this researchidentified that infrastructure construction SMEs in North Cyprusoperate in a complex system, where the approach to their managementis identified as dissipative. Overall, the findings indicate thatSMEs in North Cyprus take a reactive approach to management withinthis complex system, an approach that is itself related toever-changing relationships between the key individual andenvironmental factors mitigating owner-managers’ personal,sectorial and wider country circumstances. In this complex context,these SMEs cannot follow a systematic approach to management.Therefore, the resilience of these SMEs is found to lie in theadaptation of management strategies of SME owner-managers in thepresence of disturbances, by experimenting and adjusting themselvesin the existence of disturbances throughout theirhistory." @default.
