On the basis of two Asian tigers’ experiences we drew some reflections on small business development. Our study suggests that the sector’s functioning is conditioned by numerous interconnected and varying factors. We may, therefore, suppose that attempts to identify universal principles of SME development are destined to fail. More, the activity of small producers within the economy is characterized not only by functions, but also by dysfunctions. Moreover, the effectiveness of the ubiquitous SME support programs is subject to serious doubts. In sum, the universally implemented SME support programs are not rooted in any sound theoretical foundations.
