Most researchers consider that the extreme heterogeneity in the analysis of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is one of the difficulties they encounter during the research. In fact, this heterogeneity, coupled with a high volatility due to permanent creation and early disappearance of large numbers of SMEs, is one of the main reasons that discourages researchers to devote their energies in the study of SMEs, and thus to derive theories and concepts similar to those of large businesses. Nevertheless, in the absence of a unified definition of SMEs, it can propose the use of quantitative and/or qualitative criteria in order to differentiate SMEs.
