Описание: Examining the effect widening access to the global marketplace has had on the international legal landscape, this book presents the first comprehensive analysis of the interaction between small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and international economic law.
Описание: Financial inclusion and financial education are becoming increasingly recognized as key requirements for sustainable and inclusive growth, and have been recognized as such by international fora such the Group of Twenty (G20) and the OECD. However, countries in Central Asia and the South Caucasus region have generally lagged in this area. Aside from Kazakhstan, the levels of financial inclusion are substantially below the average level of developing economies. Moreover, there has been little study of the determinants of and barriers to the development of financial inclusion and financial literacy in this region. In this study, prominent scholars in each country examine recent trends in financial inclusion in seven countries—Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan—for both individuals and small and medium-sized firms (SMEs); institutional and regulatory barriers to the expansion of financial inclusion; and policy options to support greater financial inclusion while maintaining financial stability. The book also examines issues related to the assessment of financial literacy and promotion of financial education to support greater financial inclusion in the region. One prominent feature of the region is the relatively slow uptake of innovative financial technologies that could promote financial inclusion such as mobile phone banking, crowd funding and peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms. This book examines the barriers to such development, as recommends policies to facilitate the introduction of such technologies.
Ambassador (Dr.) Robin Renee Sanders' new book on The Rise of Africa's Small & Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) is an insightful examination of the dramatic shift in the development paradigm for Sub Saharan Africa -- driven in large part by the imaginative, innovative, and insta-impact leadership of the region's small businesses or SMEs. "SMEs have helped drive economic development, growth and aided in increasing the size of the Continent's middle class," Sanders says.
With the Introduction to the book by renown civil rights leader Ambassador Andrew Young, and the Foreword by Sub Saharan Africa's leading businessman, Mr. Aliko Dangote, Sanders' book credits the determination of Africa SMEs and entrepreneurs (which includes African nationals, immigrants and African Americans) for stepping into the void left by 40-years of post-independence development approaches that had little impact on reducing overall poverty and creating jobs in the region. "Africa's dynamic entrepreneurial spirit of Generation-Xers and Millennials' are and have formed SMEs and social enterprises that today are responsible for conceiving and inventing many of the new apps, and answers to address the region's age-old poverty issues," Sanders emphasizes. "Africa SMEs are not only a key driver for jobs, but serve as an additional catalyst to grow the middle class." Sanders argues that it was the Rise of the Africa SME - converging with technology and its mobility - that has changed, over the last decade, the focus and direction of development in Sub Saharan Africa.
The book has a few vignettes from Sanders' diplomatic life and work as CEO of the FEEEDS Advocacy Initiative with Africa SMEs over the years, as well as regional examples of some of innovative things Africa entrepreneurs are doing in sectors ranging from agriculture and food security to energy and climate change. The book also walks readers through what donors, foundations and African stock markets are doing today to help in the SME space. Sanders ends with recommendations of what more can be done by donors, African governments, and the new U.S. administration to further assist Africa SMEs, particularly the group she calls the "critical mass," and those at the "fragile" end of Africa's middle class.

Описание:
Focussing on the relatively few small firms which grew rapidly, this book, originally published in 1993 uses face-to-face interviews as well as published records to identify and analyse the managerial factors most closely associated with successful small firms. The volume concentrates on the following key managerial issues:
In what respects do the managerial backgrounds and aspirations of the founders of fast-growth small firms differ from those of non-fast-growth small firms?
How is the process of growth managed? What incentives, remuneration packages and communication systems are instituted?
How do these characteristics and experiences differ in fast-growth small firms from both the traditional small firm and large-firm sector?
To what extent is it possible to explain the relative economic performance of small firms in terms of differences in their ownership, organizational and management structures.

Описание: This book focuses on three key questions and three assumptions, which tackle entrepreneurship and competitiveness through the pillars of young entrepreneurship and innovation in SMEs, always under the lens of the institutional approach. More specifically, the research questions of this study are the following: How do institutions and, in general, institutional processes affect entrepreneurship on the SME level and, hence, competitiveness on the country level, how can the analysis of young entrepreneurship promote our understanding of the overall web of entrepreneurship from an institutional point of view and to what degree do SMEs respond to innovative applications and activities? Moreover, the study takes on the following three research assumptions: The quality of institutions affects the development of entrepreneurship and, hence, a countrys competitive position, small- and medium-sized enterprises are affected by the quality of institutions and institutional inefficiency leads to innovation fatigue. The methodology is based on specific data collection techniques that will answer the questions and assumptions of this study by using both qualitative and quantitative approaches.

Описание: In a world of increasing financial uncertainty and growing unemployment, the macroeconomic contribution of SMEs is more important than ever.
Описание: measure of the rate of innovation --research-and-development (R&D) expenditure per employee compared to new patents received per employee -- does not adequately capture a unique feature of SMEs, namely that owners and managers are often themselves innovators.
