Abstract

The paper examines the role played by the middle class in the development of European and Asian capitalism. In particular, this comparative study of Indonesia and Poland is to enlarge understanding of the actual and potential importance of the development of entrepreneurship for economic, political and social development. Especially, it aims at drawing some lessons from the experiences of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which are generally viewed as the important basis of both entrepreneurship and middle class development in the two countries. This study is based on some premises and observations concerning both the selected economies, the development of entrepreneurship, and the role of MSMEs. This paper presents static and dynamic comparisons of MSMEs development in Indonesia and Poland. Next, the discussion of the determinants of the MSMEs development follows. It covers factors on both global and national levels with the economic policy included. Finally, it tries to identify the consequences of the expansion of the entrepreneurship and the middle class in the two economies for their economic, political and social development. In conclusions the paper suggests some ideas concerning both the role of entrepreneurship in development, the modernization of the MSMEs sector and finally, the institutional support instruments that seem to be economically reasonable

Abstract

The role of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) worldwide is considered key because of its considerable input with regard to the production and distribution of tangible and intangible assets; at the same time, they are considered flexible because they have rapid adaptation to technological change and potential to create jobs. In this regard, SMEs give the means to promote economic development and competitiveness of any locality. In this context, it is clear the importance of SMEs internationally. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the decision-making on financial strategies from small business. The research was conducted under the qualitative methodological perspective, by focusing on analysis of primary data collected through interviews and observation, and secondary information obtained through books, scientific articles and newsletters produced by federal and state organizations in Mexico. This research is preliminary only and it will serve as a preparation for future detailed study. The findings indicate that financial strategies proposed by the owner of the small business does not embody the necessary elements to achieve them properly, and that even when written goals are set, these have not given a real track, but only remain in paper without proper follow up or incentives for sellers to be motivated to reach sales levels that should be achieved to address the planned expenditures. In this regard it is noted how the process of decision making is not followed in a proper way because it lacks a real analysis of alternatives and on the other hand it its seen that the financial strategy is left embodied without follow up, because of this motive the established goals are not reached.

Abstract

It is popular to argue that entrepreneurs are ‘born not made’. There is no question that personality type and innate strengths do play a significant role in equipping individuals to function as entrepreneurs but it is also clear that a lot of the capacity building that can assist somebody in starting their own business, and successfully developing it, involves skills, knowledge and attitudes that can be taught. This paper discusses one model of teaching entrepreneurship that has arisen out of the experience of working with vulnerable individuals who lack specific skills, capital and education. The initial development of this model took place when Ciputra University (UC) began working with women formerly involved in the sex-worker industry in Surabaya’s infamous Dolly neighborhood. These women had very modest levels of formal education, limited life experience, little confidence that they could ever succeed outside the profession that they had known and few skills to facilitate alternative employment. The educational model developed to assist them is broadly applicable to those coming into entrepreneurship with little education or background in business. This model is built around three essential elements, summarised as: Confidence, Competence and Connectedness (‘the 3Cs’). Confidence is built through culinary training for a learning outcome from a psychomotor domain.

Abstract

This paper examines the present development of global value chains (GVCs), with particular attentions to the capacity building of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the adoption of sustainable development agenda. The recent findings of both academic and policy literature on GVCs provide useful implications for both Governments and the business communities in Asia and the Pacific. The linkages between corporate and GVCs’ sustainability are explored, with special attention given to SMEs’ growing participation. More specifically, the paper highlights growth implications and challenges for SMEs in the context of specific industrial GVCs (agribusiness, garments and apparel, and automotive parts). The concepts of corporate social responsibility (CSR), circular economy, social investment and sustainability reporting are also examined in the context of relevance for and linkages with GVCs. Those analyses conclude with a number of policy options for national strategies and the design of economic policies to enhance the competitiveness of SMEs as well as the sustainability of GVCs.

Abstract

Based on a panel data of all manufacturers for the period from 1999 to 2007 in China, this paper examines the relationship between liquidity preferences of firm and external financing environment. By applying the model of cash flow sensitivity of cash, this paper reveals that (i) although all firms encounter more or less financial constraints, state-owned enterprises (SOEs) get greater access to capital market and hence display positive cash flow sensitivity of cash; (ii) the fast growth of non-SOEs intensified financial constraints (but provide large amount of cash flow which is particularly true for the firms at their initial development stage and become the major financial resource for their further development), exhibits as the substitution of saving with investment; and (iii) the impact of financial constraints on the growth of non-SOEs increases with the size of the firms, which shows higher cash flow sensitivity of cash.

Abstract

Even though industrial production in Indonesia has been influenced by the long process of regime changes that increase industrial production from the period of 1971 to the one of 2005, but it has not triggered yet the process of industrialization and so development in Indonesia have not changed significantly despite of its high growth rate for long period notably between 1971 and 1997. In order to verify this hypothesis, this study uses input-output analysis approach that directly tackle sustainable development strategy and sectoral interactions that can detail and reveal structural change and innovation, information that is not provided by other methods. The result is extended with the structural decomposition. The analysis shows that Indonesia has experienced a significant sectors growth during the period while the impact of import substitution and export promotion to the industrialization process was very weak. It is observable that the small and medium enterprises could play a significant role in contributing to the effectiveness of industrialization strategy implementation.
