Abstract
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are important contributors to the economic growth of a country; however, maintain high performance levels for long periods of time is always a latent challenge. Research activity analysis through a bibliometric analysis helps to understand the development level that has the performance measurements for SMEs. The aim of this study was to analyze this development in the period of (2006–2016), VOS viewer was used as a graphic visualization tool from the extracted records from the Scopus database. Since 388 analyzed records a slight increase in the performance measurement of SMEs in the last decade was identified. Around of the performance measurement terms and supply chain management it was identified a concentration of investigative relationships; countries and leading research groups in the area were recognized, countries and leading research groups in the area were determined.
