Hello everyone!
I'm now working on my thesis about the current financial crisis. I'm writing the impact of it on local companies' financial performance. I have several questions but they are too general and not proper.
My questions are:
1.How did the current financial crisis affect on SMEs, in aspect of finance? (This quesiton is useless, because everyone knows the effect is negative)
2.What factors affect on the financial performance of SMEs?
3.How did the crisis affect on the demand of products provided by the company? (Again this is useless, it's negative)
Do you have some suggestions of what could be good questions for the thesis topic?

Hello blueflyingsnow. How about these?:
1. What needed to be done by the companies in order to compensate from their loses brought about by current financial crisis?
a. Is it helpful to decrease labor force through employees lay-off? why and why not?
b. Can product modification a must? quality, quantity, marketing, prices?
c. If inspite of the crisis, business profit seems unaffected, is additional investment or more business venture is advisable? why and why not?
2. SMEs sum up the biggest part of our business sector, if most SMEs because of this crisis cannot survive, what will happen to the business sector as a whole? and will it also affect our economy even if investors are still coming here to invest?
I hope these helps...
