Focusing on the Greek economic crisis, one of the toughest and most prolonged on a global scale, this research concentrates on both the anthropocentric and commercial factors that helped SMEs survive, providing a valuable survival manual. Based on quantitative research, the article comprises two studies. 250 SMEs were included in the first study, while 189 of those that survived took part in the second. According to the results, SME survival is shown to be affected by: (a) the personality traits and skills of entrepreneurs that affect the market and entrepreneurial orientations of SMEs, (b) the adoption of such orientations that continue to have an impact on business performance, and finally (c) the implementation of a relevant strategy to achieve higher quality standards for products and services, combined with relevant tactics for downsizing, marketing actions, extraversion and financial management.
