The paper, dealing with the employment, labour relations, and knowledge utilisation characteristics of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) presents the Hungarian experiences of an international survey, covering eight countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Spain) and conducted in 2004. The report presents the position of SMEs in the national economy with the help of indices such as the achievements of the sector in productivity, innovation, exports and employment. The analysis devotes special attention to the flexibility of labour use, an area where the SMEs are in a leading position. The paper discusses in detail the role of labour relations influencing the relationship between employers/owners and employees (including the minimal presence of collective agreements) and the identification of demand for knowledge (competence) characterising the practice of knowledge utilisation, characteristic of the given enterprise.

Part II of the Research Report dealing with the situation of small and medium-sized enterprises summarises the experiences of case-studies focusing on the sector and companies. Members of the international research project, extending over eight countries have studied the activities of small and medium-sized enterprises in the following three sectors: processing industry, servicing and areas of activity intensively using ICT. Those sectors are involved that represent activities equally characterising the 'old' as well as the 'new' economy. Members of the Hungarian research team have made sector, as well as company-level case-studies of activities in the field of textile garments, tourism and interactive media. While presenting the economic and employment characteristics of the different branches, the researchers have significantly relied on the opinion of stakeholders involved in the development of the field of activity, besides utilising the available statistical data and documents. The case-studies of companies venture to analyse and assess the following areas: management/ownership strategies, the structure of product and service market, labour organisation, patterns of the utilisation and development of knowledge.
