Summary/Abstract: The present environment shows a tendency to increase its complexity, with many of its variables characterized by higher uncertainty, issues that place higher pressures on the companies and with a plus of difficulty for the SME’s sector. Under these conditions the task for knowledge based leaders for assuring a competitive position for their SME’s become an objective that depends on their ability to build up a realistic vision and to take advantage of the opportunities that can be identified within the external environment, even in turbulent times. The process of EU integration and the internationalization of the activities become a strategic option that has to be properly managed for increasing the company’s market share, but also paying attention to the required competencies and to potential risks that such an effort could bring for an unprepared entity.
