Dismantling the myths about managerial (in)capabilities in micro-firms. SEAM intervention-research to develop management practices Rastrollo-Horrillo, María Ángeles Pequeñas y medianas empresas - Gestión Cambio organizacional Extant literature on SMEs currently offers an incomplete and deterministic characterisation of micro-firms (M-Fs) that are not growth-oriented start-ups, so very little is known about the actual functioning and internal challenges that hinder the adoption of management practices of these companies, and how to facilitate their management development. Using the Socio-Economic Approach to Management (SEAM) as theoretical lens and SEAM intervention-research as methodology, the study uncovers myths in the managerial characterisation of micro-firms and suitable patterns of change management practices for them. Our research contributes to the study of M-Fs by being the first study specifically devoted to mature M-Fs, and by proposing a theoretical framework that shows the dynamic nature of the characteristics associated with M-Fs. 2026-01-27T12:22:11Z 2021 journal article Rastrollo-Horrillo, M.-A (2021). “Dismantling the myths about managerial (in)capabilities of micro-firms.
