Although the recent financial crisis affected all economies, we can expect differences in its effects across economies depending on their level of economic development, relative exposure to the crisis, as well as differences in entrepreneurial responses to adapt to the crisis. Kosovo makes a unique case to investigate the impact of crises on firm adaptive strategies to overcome or cope with the crisis. Drawing on data from in-depth, multiple case studies show that small firm during the crisis successfully chosen to diversify and expand into new areas of business in order to compensate for low demand. In contrary, cost reduction was not successful strategic response. The study demonstrates that although crises affect many small firms, they show underlying resilience and a high level of adaptability and flexibility.
