Managerial Innovation and SME Performance in Africa: The Case of Cameroon

Abstract

The introduction of new management practices has become a real imperative for any company; it is more for SMEs because these companies are vulnerable and have a specific management mode, based on the personality of their leader. Moreover, in a constantly changing environment, the performance of any company is now based on this new situation.
