Mehdi Sahraian - Characteristic Philosophy of SMES

Characteristic Philosophy of SMES

In his third volume of "Productionalism" SME's (1999), Sahraian brings the characteristic philosophy of the small and medium size production workshops to the attention as the optimal solution for driving the society toward: domestic and international responsibility. Because according to Sahraian:

Usually a small workshop is owned and managed by a family. Therefore the "Family interest" encourages the family members to collectively protect their interests. This creates a kind of self-control inside the family over the insurgent youths.

By increase of productivity in the small workshop, the production costs would be decreases, the manufactured goods of the workshop becomes more competitive and causes new employments. In consequence stepwise, the Unemployment rate of the society will be lower down. It means more and more young persons get out of unemployment and become forced to take the responsibility toward their job interests.

Because of flexibility of the SME's production line, the management starts to expand its market share domestic and regional. The need on new technology and business contacts abroad becomes bold. In order to reach out the hand to new technology and new business contacts, the entire personal of the SME-because of collective interests – would not have other solution than to adopt a moderated behavior in face of their foreign partners.

Sahraian by counting a serial number of natural character of production-business for keeping the established SME on growth; concludes that; by a natural constraint the individual small industries have no other choice but become a ring of an industrial long chain which from one side is connected to the large industries and from the end the chain is connected to the large distribution centers, the entire chain employers, their family members, the entire a posteriori, a priori and service linkages, for reason of collective interests going to be forced to change their Tendencies Toward Moderation of,Politic, economical, religious, and philosophic Behavior in the society. Once the economic freedom - by having a relative productive job - for a large number of the society members is realized, in order to maintain the realized living standard, the very same person would feel responsible and gives effort to stop the extremism by all means.

Sahraian advises (1997) the international organizations specially the UN Organisations to lead the international efforts toward industrial job creation by support the SME's, in the Islamic societies of the Middle East. Sahraian believes, that 50 Million unemployment till 2010 in the Middle East is a real threat for western civilization, because a massive economic immigration to Europe will take place and cause cultural conflict.
