In recent years many studies have outlined the relevance of medium-sized companies in the Italian economy, but the recent recession may jeopardize their development. The paper, based on the case analysis of a company, Esaote, aims at analysing the competitive strategies and organizational solutions adopted by this firm to develop in a high tech sector. The case underlines the relevance of R&S, internationalization and dynamic focalization, and, above all, the company capacity of promptly redesigning its network, to react and anticipate threats and opportunities from the market.

Keywords: High tech sector, medium-sized companies, competitiveness, supply network, case study, recession
