摘要：investigate the strategies, HR attributes and their synergies that are associated with superior performance in service SMEs using data from the UK Tourism Hospitality and Leisure (THL) sector. A major advantage of our analysis is that our sample includes information also on very small firms which makes results representative of the industry but also sheds light on a very little investigated area related to the nature of HRM and its link with performance of micro businesses. Our results suggest that high-performing SMEs in the THL sector are managed by more experienced entrepreneurs. Moreover, they employ a combination of technological and know-how firm differentiation strategies together with a highly skilled workforce, and/or a combination of (product) differentiation strategies based on quality of service and personal attention to customers, and a generous compensation package and attention to employees development.
