Entrepreneurial and Demographic Challenges in Economic Development of EU Candidate Countries
Author: Vemi?, Milan B.
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
The economic development of EU candidate countries is shaped by entrepreneurial and demographic challenges that significantly influence their integration into the European Union. As these nations aim for growth and stability, they face various obstacles characterized by shifting demographic profiles, including aging populations and human migration. Fostering an effective entrepreneurial system is essential for increased innovation and job creation. Navigating these challenges requires specific policies that support small and medium-sized enterprises while addressing socio-economic disparities and demographic trends that hinder sustainable development. Further understanding of this relationship is pivotal for creating strategies that promote economic growth and foster the successful integration of these countries into the European Union. Entrepreneurial and Demographic Challenges in Economic Development of EU Candidate Countries explores solutions for the economic improvement of European Union country candidates through entrepreneurship and demographics. The effectiveness of sustainable business management practices on global organizations are examined. This book covers topics such as management science, capitalism, and sociology, and is a useful resource for government officials, policymakers, economists, business owners, sociologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
This report assesses and monitors progress in the design and implementation of SME policies in the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region.

Enhancing Resilience by Boosting Digital Business Transformation in Ukraine
Author: OECD
Publisher: OECD Publishing
ISBN: 926484757X
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
Digital technologies not only offer a vast potential to enhance firm productivity, they can also help enhance resilience and support economic recovery in times of war. The government has made significant strides in accelerating the digital transformation and has reinforced support for digitalisation since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. While digital technologies have brought significant benefits to the country, Ukraine’s SMEs are yet to fully tap into the potential of digitalisation. Beyond war-related challenges, lack of awareness, digital skills shortages, sectoral specificities, and financial constraints complicate their digital development. The government aims to further promote SME digitalisation and is currently preparing its SME Strategy 2024-27. Throughout 2023, the OECD provided guidance to Ukraine on how to help SMEs leverage digitalisation for productivity, resilience, and recovery. This report presents an overview of the findings, looking at i) ways to strengthen the national and subnational institutional and policy framework for SME digitalisation; ii) avenues for targeted digitalisation support services for SMEs, building on the OECD’s blueprint; and iii) specific ways digitalisation can help SMEs weather war-related challenges.

SME Policy Index: ASEAN 2018
Author: Collectif
Publisher: OECD
ISBN: 9264306978
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
The SME Policy Index is a benchmarking tool for emerging economies to monitor and evaluate progress in policies that support small and medium-sized enterprises. The ASEAN SME Policy Index 2018 is a joint effort between the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East-Asia (ERIA), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the ASEAN Coordinating Committee on Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (ACCMSME). The report is the outcome of work conducted by the ten ASEAN Member States (Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam). Divided into eight policy dimensions, it builds on the previous edition of the ASEAN SME Policy Index 2014. The current edition presents an updated methodology which makes this document a powerful tool to assess the strengths and weaknesses that exist in policy design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation for SMEs, and allows for a benchmarking of the level to which the ASEAN Strategic Action Plan for SME Development (SAP SMED) 2016-2025 has been implemented. Its objective is to enhance the capacity of policy makers to identify policy areas for future reform, as well as implement reforms in accordance with international good practices. The report provides a regional perspective on recent developments in SME-related policies in Southeast Asia as well as in individual ASEAN Member States. Based on this analysis the report provides a menu of concrete policy options for the region and for the individual countries.

SME Policy Index : Western Balkans and Turkey 2019
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789264182769
Category : Small business
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Robust SME sectors are critical to the prosperity of the six Western Balkan economies and Turkey, accounting for over 70% of those employed in the business sector and generating 65% of value added in these seven economies. Yet their potential remains untapped, as SMEs across the region grapple with numerous challenges that hamper their growth and productivity. They are still under-represented in international trade, and their contributions to value-added remain comparatively low as they have difficulties in moving or expanding into high value-added activities. This report provides a comprehensive overview of the implementation of the ten principles of the Small Business Act for Europe (SBA) in the seven EU pre-accession economies over the period 2016-18. It monitors progress against similar assessments performed over the past decade and identifies the outstanding challenges affecting SMEs. It also provides targeted recommendations to remove barriers to SME development and unleashing their potential for driving inclusive economic growth.
