What is SMEs e-learning Project?
The proposed project, the "SME's e-Learning Project"
addresses the SMEs in Egypt and the problems that they are
facing as a result of their lack of experience and knowledge
of the economic environment. A large percentage tend to
fail because of wrong decision making. They lack the know
-hows of how to best cope in the present circumstances and
how to tackle the problems that face them. They need to
be able to make decisions based on the basis of the economy
workings. The technology gave us a golden opportunity to
make this possible. The state of the art e-learning can
help deliver this body of knowledge to the entrepreneurs
of the SMEs. The building of the human resources is crucial
in order to build help strengthening the competitive performance
of SMEs.
