Abstract

Most of the HRM literature is based on large firms despite the growing significance now accorded to smaller firms. In this paper, we explore employment relations in SMEs and argue that the existing literature tends to polarise into a "small is beautiful'' or "bleak house'' perspective. The paper examines some of the key issues in relation to employment relations in SMEs.Most of the HRM literature is based on large firms despite the growing significance now accorded to smaller firms.
