1.2. Contribution of SME to the Economy of Sri Lanka 
1.2.1. Evolution of SME
The business world has superior for the duration of the hundreds of years to make the 
newest exchange openings, improvements and client requests. The business fashions that 
commercial enterprise human beings make have likewise modified (Ray, Trustworthiness in 
health information services: an assessment of a hierarchical model with mediating and 
moderating effects using partial least squares , 2015). A business model is an important 
association for acquiring a benefit, the techniques for indicating how pay will surpass prices. 
Each new business length rises as a characteristic development of its antecedents, so seeing 
yesterday's business models can fill in as a starting stage for making the following days.
• The Production Era
After the industrial Revolution the agrarian and frontier business fashions that 
commanded the sector for quite a long time presented route to the advent period (Parasuraman, 
2015). From the end of the 19th century into the Nineteen Thirties, restricted modern supply 
implied growing products almost ensured consistent deals. Assembling business models ended 
up nicely referred to as advances underway hardware authorised businesses to supply virtually 
extra than formerly. Business fashions depended on those machines to accomplish economies 
of scale, pushing prices decrease and expanding blessings (Banerjee, 2014) 
• The Marketing Era
As present-day supply increased after some time, organizations started to confront more 
difficult undertaking. The presentation of the selling length all through the 1950s, in which 
businesses learned they expected to split themselves inside the business centre to growth higher 
fingers, became the regular results. (Fiscor, 2016) Business fashions began to transport toward 
marketplace division and brand separation. Showcasing efforts grew to become out to be in 
addition as large as assembling restriction as statistical surveying changed into the beginning 
level for object development endeavours. Emblem evaluating emerged as a motive force of 
gainfulness as a success selling authorised consumer products companies to set costs well above 
technology fees. (Narus, 2018)

• The Relationship Era
As businesses turned out to be progressively powerful in showcasing and logo 
development, canny business visionaries began to renowned lengthy haul patron connections 
and emblem champions were a key to lengthy haul survival. (Esfahlan, 2018) The connection 
length, while the pace of progress in correspondences innovation presented development of 
business fashions making use of the net, started throughout the Nineteen Nineties. Counselling 
and management businesses could now serve customers in a lot of bigger territory and 
correspondence among them turned out to be increasingly more effective and open. In this era, 
preparations instead of items turned into the worldview as business models focused on 
fathoming the converting needs of customers with altered gadgets and administrations. 
The prevailing length blends additives of each beyond time whilst encountering the 
maximum quick mechanical development since the industrial Revolution. Businesses within 
the mid twenty first century can interface with clients in extra important approaches than any 
time in latest reminiscence by means of the net and web primarily based life. Publicly assisting 
has changed business fashions to look for object development info or begin-up capital 
straightforwardly from clients via two-way discussions (Ray,2015). Brand situating strategies 
have become to be both greater focused on and increasingly more international. Lean business 
models are ending up progressively typical in the midst of an interest on centre competencies 
and the usage of transient employees for precise capacities.
