Abstract
Importance of the Small Medium Enterprises sector cannot be overemphasized in the
industrial development of a country. 90% of all the enterprises in Pakistan are consisting
of Small Medium Enterprises; 80% labor force is employed in non-agriculture sector,
Small Medium Enterprises are sharing annually 40% to GDP of the country (SMEDA).
However providing huge part in the development of the country Small Medium
Enterprises are still encountering with some perilous pitfalls and the survival of the
Small Medium Enterprises is getting harder. Now the economy system of the country has
been converted from the production based to knowledge-based economy. The review of
the previous results pointed out that the twenty first century is the era of technological
and intellectual capital and it has added the ultimate importance in the knowledge-based
economy. Currently, the economy is based on knowledge-based economy and it is based
on the intellectual capital. Therefore, it is difficult for Small Medium Enterprises in
Pakistan to transfigure and acquire the concept and applications of intellectual capital in
order to counter and mitigate the emerging economics problems.
