However, in the 21st century, organizations, battered by an increasing rate of disruptions, finding traditional and incremental approach of managing businesses irrelevant. MSMEs are more susceptible to such forces as they are also plagued by other ‘traditional’ challenges, like lack of innovation, poor infrastructure, inadequacy of funds, technology knowledge gaps, lack of proper skill and training, inability to attract talented workforce.
