crisis. It also attempts to study the impact this crisis had on both the activity of these enterprises and on the business
mentality in Romania.

a wide range, spreading from the tightening of the financing options or of the activity, up to the management’s

the crisis over the respective enterprises, reaching the conclusion that even though not all SMEs were equally
