Слайд 6Small businesses are the most common size of businesses wherever

you are in the world: in all countries large businesses

represent less than 5 per cent of the enterprise population
Contribute a great deal to employment and income of any economy: in the EU, two-thirds of employment is provided by SMEs

Why focus on small business?

activity
Self-employment – no agreed definition but does often involve four

elements:
Control
Integration
Economic reality
Mutuality of obligation

alignment of aspirations
Legally independent – focus on enterprises rather than

Слайд 12Problems with Bolton’s qualitative approach
Small businesses are heterogeneous
Small in one

sector may be large in another
How do you measure small

businesses?
Prefer ‘grounded approach’ (asking small businesses to self-define ‘smallness’)

Слайд 15Figures tend to only count ‘formal’ businesses
Micro-sized businesses less

likely to be registered
May operate in the informal economy
Registration thresholds

likely to be set higher than lower
No standard measure of what is an ‘SME’
Yet despite these issues, SMEs are most common type of enterprise in the world

Слайд 17Why are small business workers more satisfied?
Large business workplaces have

greater levels of formality (rules and procedures)
Smaller business workplaces

marked by greater levels of informality (e.g. owner-managers more likely to know their staff)

In Europe: higher job satisfaction must be related to aspects such as work autonomy and the meaningfulness of the work. Experts confirm that it is particularly the "soft" side of the work relationship that is valued highly by employees in SMEs. Employees seem to value the face to face relationships in SMEs positively, and most managers at SMEs are not autocratic (EIM, 2011).

Слайд 18Remuneration
Employees in SMEs tend to receive lower wage levels than

in large enterprises, even when a correction is made for

enterprise, job and employee characteristics
Possible explanations:
Labour productivity increases with firm size.
Larger firms have more financial resources.
SMEs can better monitor individual employees, whereas large enterprises pay a premium to avoid shirking.

Слайд 19Job Security
Job security is found to be a key element

of job satisfaction.
A prerequisite for job security is the

continued existence of the enterprise.
The risk of enterprise death is much higher in SMEs. Roughly half of all start-ups die within 5 years, and SMEs constitute a large majority of this group.
SMEs and micro enterprises in particular are less likely to hire workers from temporary work agencies than large enterprises are (EIM, 2011).

Слайд 20Skill Development
In comparison to large enterprises, micro and small enterprises

show a preference for fewer formal training activities. The most

common training methods within SMEs are on-the-job training and self-directed learning. Somewhat less common is the provision of training courses.
For large enterprises, the most common training methods are on-the-job training and internal and external training courses.
Enterprises with higher shares of full-time workers, highly educated employees or young employees are more likely to provide training. This is also the case for larger enterprises and innovative enterprises.

Слайд 21Recruitment and Selection
Large firms will mostly use strict criteria when

recruiting new employees (for example, demanding a degree indicating that

a certain educational level has been obtained), owner-managers from micro and small firms will more often rely on informal, word-of-mouth recruitment methods.
For these persons, the actual level of an applicant's motivation, knowledge and skills may be more relevant than the presence of a particular diploma or certificate.

Слайд 22AGE
On average, micro enterprises tend to employ the highest share

of older employees (aged 50 years or older) and the

lowest share of young employees (aged younger than 25 years) of the three size classes.
Small and medium-sized enterprises employ the highest share of employees aged 25-50 and the lowest share of older employees.
Large enterprises employ the highest share of young people.

Слайд 24The owner-Manager
The owner’s willingness to take risks is constitutive for

the genesis and the existence of the company. Possible consequence:

owners identify and are identified with their business in a way that does not exist in larger companies
These persons determine the company goals and are usually being replaced with their agreement only. This in turn means that the rate of succession is low
Often there is no separation of business and private life

Слайд 25Strategy and Management I
Empirical studies on insolvency have shown that

mainly management and leadership mistakes are the reasons causing insolvency

in small companies.
SMEs orientate themselves to quick adaptation of changing business conditions.
Besides lacking resources, SMEs are said to be short of management time and of management skills.
Sometimes the lack of planning and strategy is compensated for by optimism in the company’s own strength in conjunction with flexibility and responsiveness.

Слайд 26Strategy and Management II
Managerial tools are rarely used in many

SMEs. This is mainly explained by a lack of time;

missing expertise with such tools is also rather likely. Empirical studies have shown that this situation is likely to change once the company starts growing.
The coincidence of ownership and management induces the fact that decision-making primarily lies in the owners’ hands.
From outside the firm, many owners are suggestive of being very restrictive with respect to the disclosure of information about their companies. This is supported by lower accounting standards and consequently, very low or none financial reporting rules, which in turn make it more difficult for external persons to analyse a company’s condition.

Слайд 27Numerous new private firms are ‘born to die young’
Many surviving

firms are ‘born small and stay small’
Only a small proportion

of new and small firms make significant contributions to economic development
Attitudinal, resource, operational and strategic barriers (i.e. market failures) to firm formation and growth
Universal national support schemes to SMEs (or ‘blanket policies’), ‘targeting’ support, ‘picking winners’, ‘avoid losers’, and / or provide ‘customised support’ to each ‘type’ of entrepreneur or firm

Слайд 28Desire Not to Grow
Many owners of small firms do not

want to grow their ventures
Only a small proportion of

small firm owners have the inclination or expertise to grow their ventures
Owners do not have the aspirations or management skills required to grow a firm
Growth may attract attention from competitors who may bid to take-over the business
Many entrepreneurs are concerned with maintaining their independence (Birley and Westhead, 1994)
Desire to run the firm to a point (‘comfort zone’) which allows owners to maintain control and ownership
