Economics / regional development, SME
English term or phrase: trundlers
One widely used classification of SMEs which graphically illustrates this feature of the behaviour of existing firms distinguishes between 'failures', 'trundlers' and 'flyers'. There are very few 'flyers'.

предполагаю, что 'failures' - это неудачники, а как перевести остальные два?
Заранее спасибо!
