At the present time, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are confronted with difficult market conditions. These conditions involve, for example, increasing globalization, greater competitive intensity, advances in information and communication technology (ICT) and changes in organizational structures (cf. Argote, McEvily & Reagans 2003a, p. v, cf. Ebrahim, Ahmed & Taha 2010, p. 917, cf. Hall 2003, p. iii, cf. Picot, Reichwald & Wigand 2003, p. 2 ff.). As a consequence, SMEs must be able to quickly and flexibly respond to market changes to stay competitive.
