Recent Trend of Village and Small Enterprise Sector: Exploring and Exploiting its Opportunities in the North Eastern Region of India Touching Upon its Profile and Barriers

Development of village, micro and small enterprises in India has a special significance with regard to bridging up the disparities between urban and rural sectors of the economy on the one hand and the more industrialized and the less industrialized states on the other. It would also channelize to the mainstream the forces of development in the rural and remote areas presently strewn with the immense possibilities of manufacturing and service activities. Mahatma Gandhi had envisioned this long back, but Indian planners exhibited their preference to development of large-scale industries first. However, after having taken a step further to globalization and liberalization, India has recognized the relevance of small enterprises. Enactment of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 is an instance of the action taken in the wake of this recognition. The North Eastern Region (NER) of India comprises eight states: Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura, all well known for their handicrafts. The Schedule Tribes form the majority of population there. Most of these states are hilly and have remained agriculturally as well as industrially backward. Promotion of small enterprises is most suitable for their timely development. In this paper we present a statistically detailed profile of small enterprises in the NER. We explore the possibilities of development of the small enterprises sector and discuss the constraints on the same.

An analysis of problems encountered by auditors of small, medium and micro enterprises in Botswana

Auditing is acclaimed as lending credibility to financial statements of enterprises. However, small enterprises see little importance in maintaining proper books of accounts and preparing financial statements. The Republic of Botswana has committed itself to the promotion of small enterprises in Botswana. But, small enterprises are said to have characteristics that pose difficulties to auditors. This suggests auditors will become more involved with small enterprises as a result of the expected growth and expansion of small enterprises. This study sought to establish the characteristics of small enterprises in Botswana, problems small enterprise auditors in Botswana face, frequency of occurrence of the problems, and their impact on auditing.The findings suggest that characteristics of small enterprises in Botswana are the same as those of small enterprises in other countries. Most of twenty-seven problems suggested to auditors rarely occurred, or occurred only occasionally. However, these problems are significant, as they are considered to have an important effect on auditing.

Occupational health and safety in SMEs

Few of the many manuals and training courses on small enterprise promotion in developing countries even mention occupational health and safety, let alone regard it as an essential area of knowledge for successful enterprise. In an attempt to begin to redress this neglect, this article examines the available evidence of the state of the occupational health of workers in small-scale enterprises in developing countries. The range of hazards that can be present and the factors which can determine their effects are then described. Finally the author considers how measures to improve health and safety can be successfully introduced by small-scale enterprises.

Promoting enterprises in the wood products subsector in Ghana

Woodworking microenterprises and small businesses (MSEs) have not benefited from structural adjustment policies in Ghana where export orientation gives relatively few enterprises better access to the raw material base as well as the financial and enterprise support infrastructure. The subsector approach to small enterprise promotion is used in this article to explore the effects of export production and related factors on the emergence of opportunities and constraints facing MSEs. On this basis, it is determined that export production is a major factor influencing the supply of wood to woodworking MSEs, that a large number of MSEs could partake in the opportunities presented by the production of value-added products for export overseas, and that policy and project intervention to promote enterprises in the subsector could be more effective if they fostered greater links between enterprises producing for the domestic market and those producing for export.

A proposal for monitoring small enterprise promotion

This article describes a general framework for monitoring and evaluating small enterprise promotion efforts. Recognizing the reluctance of many projects to spend time and money on evaluation the proposal uses a simple Client Registration Form to collect a minimum amount of data on current income. The same form is then used at the end of the project. From these data the client's increase in income as a result of the project is determined, allowing for alternative sources of income foregone as well as the expansion of the local economy. A benefit-cost ratio is also determined which helps project staff get an idea of where their efforts are most effectively directed. This system of evaluation follows the emphasis of CARE's Small Economic Activity Development unit.

Promoting Enterprise in the New Russia: An Example from the Murmansk Region

DR. GEORGY PSAREV IS DIRECTOR of' the Fund for Financial Support and Promotion of Small Enterprises in the Murmansk Region of Russia. Independent small enterprise in Russia has emerged as a result of the collapse of the old coimmniand economy and recent legislation but establishing small firms as part of the newly emerging market economy is very difficult. This article describes the work of an enterprise agency, the Fund for the Financial Support and Promotion of Small Enterprises. This is an independent, self-financing enterprise agency established in 1990 and thie article shows how the agency, though initially modelled on similar agencies in Norway and Finland, has adapted to the very special circumstances of the new Russian economy. For instance, the Fund operates as a commercial business in connection with the commodity exchanges which have emerged in Russia to provide the basis of a new market-based distribution system. This not only allows the Fund the secure resources for its activities but also helps ensur-e a supply of materials for the small businesses it is helping and training in business skills for tl-he Fund's staff. Though its main office in Murrnansk, the Fund has already set up branch offices in St. Petersburg and Novgoirod and now employs more than 20 people. Other similar enterprise agencies have been set up elsewhere in Russia as part of a support system for the siiiall businesses of the country's new economy.

A subsector approach to small enterprise promotion and research

This paper introduces a diagnostic research methodology designed to help target small enterprise development efforts in less developed countries. It argues that research should focus on commodity-specific subsectors, which include the competing channels and supporting input and output linkages of small firms. Using this approach, analysts can improve their understanding of small enterprise dynamics, interventions that may promote them at low cost, and policies that constrain small firm growth.

Small enterprise promotion in India

The Indian Government has one of the most extensive and lengthy experiences of programmes to assist small-scale industry. This fact has guaranteed that considerable attention has been paid to that programme, as many Indians now re-evaluate the economic strategies India has pursued since independence in 1947. It has also made these programmes a focus of interest to those in other countries who would either like to copy some of their features, or use them as the basis for avoiding similar programmes in their own country. On the one hand, like similar schemes in the United States, these programmes have a considerable constituency and are perceived as politically popular. On the other hand, a body of economic criticism has emerged which questions whether the programmes concerned are a cost-effective use of public resources. The critics suggest that they may even hinder the technological development of Indian industry.

Small enterprise promotion role of incentives

The focus of this study is on the appropriateness of regional incentives for small scale enterprise location in less developed areas. The attempt is to identify the location factors in countries at different levels of socio-economic development; it is noticed that these factctrs tend to be dynamic in nature. A detailed analysis of the role of incentives shows that entrepreneurs do not consider incentives in detail, and the influence of incentives on location choice varies between the UK, Japan, and India, the three countries studied. The quality of administration also needs improvement for incentives to be effective. Finally, entrepreneurial perceptions about what constitutes an ideal incentive are elicited.

Small Manufacturing Enterprises in Developing Countries

Emphasis is often placed on the promotion of small enterprises in developing countries, particularly as a means of improving the lot of unskilled workers. This focus raises questions about the relationship between establishment size and the pattern and efficiency of factor use, and about the nature and effects of price differentials in factor markets. This article goes some way toward answering these questions with data from surveys of small manufacturing enterprises in India and Colombia sponsored by the World Bank and relevant material from other countries. The article also examines India's long-standing policy, unusual among developing countries, of providing special support and protection for small enterprises. Analyses based on disaggregated data found that small firms are not reliably more labor-intensive than their larger counterparts; nor are they consistently more technically efficient in their use of resources. In light of these findings and an analysis of factor markets, this article discusses the general implications of the research results for industrial policy in developing countries.
