Management of Enterprises in the Greek Economy

Abstract

The methodology of this study follows a qualitative research approach, integrating historical analysis, theoretical examination, and regulatory review to explore the management of enterprises in the Greek economy. The study is primarily descriptive and analytical, relying on secondary sources such as academic literature, historical records, and legal frameworks to trace the evolution of Greek business management from ancient times to the present. A significant component of the methodology involves a comparative analysis, where Greek enterprise practices are contrasted with those of other economies, particularly within the EU, to identify unique challenges and strategic opportunities. Additionally, the research incorporates strategic management frameworks, including SWOT analysis and Porter’s Five Forces, to provide a structured evaluation of business dynamics, competitive pressures, and economic adaptability. The study also examines the impact of regulatory policies on enterprise operations, analyzing the role of Greek laws and EU directives in shaping the business environment. Finally, the paper discusses technological and innovation trends, particularly digital transformation and Industry 4.0, to assess their influence on modern business strategies. By synthesizing insights from historical, strategic, and regulatory perspectives, this methodology offers a comprehensive understanding of the factors shaping enterprise management in Greece.
