The first study contains rich findings in relation to the role and influence of managerial experience and style, with particular respect to the company founder and software development managers in small to medium seized enterprises (SMEs), whilst the second study contains extensive findings in relation to people and management involvement / commitment and SPI goal planning in very small enterprises (VSEs). By combining these results of these two studies of Irish SMEs/VSEs we can develop a rich picture of managerial commitment towards SPI and in particular explore the similarities between Small and Very Small Enterprises. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. date: 2010 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: O'Connor, R.V. and Basri, S. and Coleman, G.
