Hi, References to Hidden Champions as SMEs was deleted. Prof. Simon sets the upper limit to 4 BEUR, as EU definition is "The category of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is made up of enterprises which employ fewer than 250 persons and which have an annual turnover not exceeding 50 million euro, and/or an annual balance sheet total not exceeding 43 million euro.". I believe the confusion originates from German word Mittelstand, which is not the same as medium-sized company.
