Abstract

After more than two decades of transition towards a market economy, Albanian businesses are still facing a lot of challenges. Currently, new enterprises constitute the vastest majority of private businesses operating in Albania, and because of their size and adaptability they are more likely to be the main source of job creation. Focusing on the relationship between tangible and intangible assets, this chapter draws attention to the importance of distinctive competencies, capabilities, skills and good reputation as the determining factors of a firm’s success. Finally, this chapter is essential because it ascertained that intangible resources have greater impact than tangible resources as in regard to the performance of SMEs.
