External publication | 2016 SME, medium-sized business, family business: A clarification

The article explains why the intersection of medium-sized companies/family businesses and small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) is nevertheless very large and why companies with 500 or more employees or annual sales of more than € 50 million also belong to the SME sector.
