Welcome to the International Journal of Small and Medium Enterprises and Business Sustainability published by the Publishing Lembaga Penerbit Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis (LPFEB) Universitas Trisakti. As its primary objective, this double-blind review and online scientific journal is dedicated to publishing original and outstanding studies in English that increase knowledge and understanding of the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including entrepreneurship and family-owned businesses, and its factors or conditions that influence business sustainability, and, ultimately, shape this field of research. This journal focuses on theoretical, empirical, policy and practical issues in the field of SMEs, especially in developing countries. The articles published in this Journal are important for academics, policy makers, practitioners and analysts in governments and organizations, who seek to understand the processes and outcomes of SMEs, especially with regard to their growth, constraints and sustainability. Published articles may include theoretical articles, qualitative and quantitative empirical works, and/or case studies. Considering that the aim of the Journal is to push the boundaries of current thinking regarding SME development, case studies to be published in the Journal must have a theoretical perspective. Theoretical contributions can be linked to cases that challenge existing theories or shed better light on them. Articles to be published in the Journal focuses primarily on the following topics: Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) Entrepreneurship Family-owned businesses Government policy on SME and entrepreneurship The role of cooperatives and non-government organizations (NGOs) in supporting SMEs Epistemology, general theory development, and methods of research in entrepreneurship, SMEs, and family-owned businesses Impacts of macroeconomic policies, including subsidies policy, trade policy, and investment policy, on SMEs Impacts of market structure and market competition on SMEs Financing: microfinance, informal sources of finance, bank and other non-bank financial institutions Main factors which affect business sustainability Other issues related to SMEs in particular and business in general

Abstract

Currently, international behaviors of family businesses (FBs) attract a growing interest of researchers. In an increasingly competitive environment, numerous FBs are forced to expand into foreign markets in search for ways to survive or grow. The article is both theoretical and empirical. In the theoretical part it presents theoretical concepts of FBs internationalization, especially determinants for their going international. In empirical part, the study focuses on two particular internationalization determinants: the attitude of family firm towards internationalization and some aspects of the business environment. Methodology used in this study is unique. Authors use a structural equation modeling (SEM) to explore how strong is a causal effect of the attitude to internationalization and of the business environment to internationalize a firm. The results of the survey are presented on the sample of 216 firms including 88 FBs (were investigated with the use of a survey questionnaire).

Abstract

Currently, in the era of information society and the development of information technology, information has become a particularly important element of social and professional functioning of both individual people and complex organizational structures and systems from which the modern world is built. In the context of running any business from the point of view of managing the organization, information can be a valuable commodity for the entrepreneur on a mobile, rapidly changing market. The development of techniques for processing and sharing information via the Internet is determined by many facilities for beneficiaries, customers and people using the information services offered by the Internet. In addition, for entities providing electronic information via the Internet, the possibility of a significant reduction of transaction costs of financial operations and electronic data transfer appears. On the other hand, the development of information technologies functioning on the Internet also involves the risk of loss or theft of information by unauthorized entities. This study describes key assumptions for the developmentand creation of a universal Internet portal offering information services for companies in the MSP sector that offers specialized information services provided via the Internet.

Abstract

Vietnam is in the process of population aging, and there is still a large proportion of the elderly people living in rural areas who continue to work for extra income either for themselves or to support their descendants. However, the elderly people have problems with their health and suitable requirements for finding suitable jobs. The question in this paper is that: how to help the elderly people find suitable jobs. To answer it, this paper did both qualitative and quantitative analyses. Descriptive statistics are used to describe the relationship between factors and employment supports for the elderly people, while a multivariate regression is used to find the determinants of effective employment supports. In addition to secondary data collected from various sources, primary data was obtained from in-depth interviews with some local officials and elderly people in the suburbs of Hanoi to assess related issues in management and implementation of policies. The findings show that the Intergenerational Self-Help Club (ISHC) model has contributed positively to improving the lives of the poor and near poor elderly people by helping them to get jobs through employment supporting activities in many aspects such as trainings in techniques of cultivation, husbandry and production; provision of loans, seeds, fertilizers, and other required inputs for production; and provision of information on suitable jobs that not only to improve their incomes significantly, but also suitable to their health conditions. The model not only contributes to raising living standards but also helps the elderly people to live happily and healthily through diverse activities. This effective and low cost model is well suited to urban, rural, coastal and ethnic minority and mountainous areas. Based on this fact, this paper proposes some solutions to replicate the model for increasing production capital, strengthening trainings of production techniques for the elderly people, diversifying the areas of help in the employment support in the model, mobilizing resources from the community, and mobilizing stakeholder participations to help them have decent jobs.

Abstract

The search for ways to develop capitalism and the ways of its socially acceptable configuration causes increasing attention of specialists. Recognizing the ways of overcoming economic stagnation in conditions of limited resources and the growing social awareness of increasingly better communicated networks of societies, encourages the formulation of ways to reform capitalism. Authors leave radical solutions beyond discussion, especially those known from history. The contemporary development of productive forces and socio-economic life creates new premises for changes in capitalist reality. The authors are especially interested in the pro-social character of this premise. To define the phenomenon of socialization of capital, the authors referred to the social market economy - a specific economic order, as well as to a social enterprise, i.e. an entity realizing social objectives as part of business operations. The social market economy and social enterprise have been indicated as an important element of the economy as well as the state's economic policy. To fulfill its goals and duties in the context of shaping the quality of life of the society, the state should include in the economic system market entities that fulfill socially useful goals as part of the market mechanism.

Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate the impact of factors that influence the decisions of graduated students to choose workplaces in Hanoi, Vietnam. Data were collected through interviews with 245 graduated students from the Department of Accounting from the University of Labor and Social Affairs, Hanoi, Vietnam. With this data, we have used Cronbach's Alpha, EFA and a regression model to determine the level of impact of independent variables on the dependent variable, i.e. the decision to choose a workplace. The results showed that the determinants included the work environment factors in Hanoi (WEFs) and the personal factors of graduates (PFs) which both have positive relationships with the decision to choose a workplace in Hanoi. Based on this finding, this paper gives several recommendations for both graduated students as well as relevant government institutions in response to employee requests in Hanoi for students graduating in Accounting.
