The paper shows different theoretical and business approaches to the company's size as well as the fact that the company's cost efficiency is a more important parameter of the companies' differentiation (with respect to the size and/or success) than the property or the achieved business results. Then the paper presents the nature of financial innovativeness of small and medium enterprises. Finally, our managers are suggested to asses continually their production, technological, information and other advantages as well as shortcomings of small and medium enterprises in order to optimize their size and their contribution to the structural transformation of Serbian economy.
Key Words: Small Enterprise, Medium Enterprise, Cost Efficiency, Financial Innovativeness, Economy Restructuring

MALA I SREDNJA PREDUZEĆA
KAO OSNOVA ZA RESTRUKTURIRANJE PRIVREDE SRBIJE
U radu se ukazuje na različit teorijsko-poslovni tretman veličine preduzeća kao i na činjenicu da je troškovna efikasnost preduzeća važniji parametar za njihovo diferenciranje (prema veličini i/ili uspehu) od veličine imovine i rezultata poslovanja koji ostvaruju. Zatim se prezentira priroda finansijske inovativnosti malih i srednjih preduzeća. Konačno, našim menadžerima se sugeriše da stalno ocenjuju proizvodne, tehnološke, informacione i dr. prednosti i nedostatke malih i srednjih preduzeća, kako bi optimizirali njihovu veličinu i njihov doprinos strukturnoj transformaciji srpske privrede.
Ključne reči: veličina preduzeća, troškovna efikasnost, finansijska inovativnost.
