A Decade On: How Relevant is the Regulatory Environment for Micro and Small Enterprise Upgrading After All?

Micro and small enterprises in developing countries rarely upgrade and grow. The reasons are disputed. Recently, the ‘Doing Business’ reports strongly influenced the policy agenda, attributing small enterprise stagnation mainly to excessive bureaucracy and over-regulation. They claim a strong causal relationship running from regulatory reform and formalisation to business performance and overall economic growth and advocate reforms to reduce the complexity and cost of regulation. Our findings from research in the Philippines, India and Egypt challenge this view. Bureaucratic hurdles are of secondary importance. Entrepreneurs who want to formalise are usually able to do so. Formalisation usually comes after a firm has upgraded, i.e. when the entrepreneur perceives that the advantages of formalisation outweigh its disadvantages. Success in upgrading is strongly related to entrepreneurial attitudes and skills: know-how, proactive search for market opportunities, risk-taking attitude and creativity in dealing with financial constraints and deficits in the rule of law.

Modern State and Forecast of Food Production in Kazakhstan

Food industry along with agriculture plays a significant role in ensuring food security of the country. In addition, the condition of food provision in Kazakhstan is characterized by the threshold level of dependence on foreign market. The state has weak control over the food market; the country cannot feed itself on its own. Import reaches from 40% to 60% for majority of items in the consumer basket. Analysis of import flows shows that share of import in domestic consumption of major food items has already exceeded maximum permissible level for a long period of time. Such situation is very dangerous for the country’s economy and deepens its significant dependence on the foreign market, increasing competitiveness both in domestic and foreign market. One of the reasons of current state is falling behind the domestic needs in food production, low efficiency of food industry enterprises, low competitiveness of domestic products, etc. Solution of the food industry problem requires large scale modernization, technical upgrading of enterprises, increase of the state support amounts up to the level adopted by the Customs Union Member States, improvement of the management methods and its focus on market laws.

Case Study of Entrepreneurship and Family Business Succession on the View of Life Cycles

In the most common cases, the first generation creates his business, accumulates wealth and waits for the right chance to hand them over to the second generation. The case study on Fotile Co. provides a perspective of both entrepreneurship and succession of family business. In 1996, Mao Li Xiang and his son, Mao Zhong Qun, started together a business on kitchen products. On the view of product life cycle, Mr. Mao Senior produced the clip reeds subcontracting for the state-owned TV set company and electric gas-lighting for international trade which were manufactured with imitation and at last waned after several years, until in 1996 he devoted himself to the third products, Chinese kitchenware, and beat Western technology with domestic technology and design in meeting the needs in Chinese kitchens. On the view of his individual life cycle, Mr. Mao Senior began with the accountant and salesman in commune and brigade enterprise in the 1970’s, manager of in the township and village enterprises in the 1980’s and the owner of family business in 1990’s when he handed over the right of control and finished the professionalization of management, the upgrading of enterprises as well.

Networks and Competitiveness in Polish Foreign-Owned and Domestic Firms

In contrast to other studies of competitiveness which often focus on the country and industry level, this is a study of competitiveness in Poland at the firm level. In this analysis, we will focus primarily on how cooperation with external actors such as investors, creditors, customers, suppliers, local governments affects changes in Polish firms’ competitiveness.Why the focus on cooperation with external partners? A review of the literature on enterprise upgrading (see Woodward et al., 2005) finds a general consensus that in the process of upgrading, an important role is played not only by activities occurring within the enterprise, but also by its cooperation with other organizations and its ability to learn from such cooperation. The networks of the firm within which it pursues such cooperation and realizes gains therefrom are among its most important assets, and its skills in developing such networks and extracting gains from them are of crucial interest in studying the processes of firms’ upgrading and their integration into the European and global economy. Additionally, a large literature exists concerning the special role of enterprise networks in the innovation process. Their importance is due to the fact that they make it possible for the transfer of knowledge to the firm from other firms as well as from research institutions to take place. However, the literature also shows that firms must make some efforts of their own to generate knowledge in order to be able to absorb it from outside as well. The relevant literature on the post-Communist transition countries shows a severe adverse shock to network activity at the beginning of the transition. The same is true of innovation activity. However, in the near absence of firms’ own R&D activity, technological upgrading is occurring through the import of machinery and use of licensing, and the East Asian experience indicates that this may indeed be the beginning of a long-term trajectory leading to world-class technological and innovative capabilities. This is also reflected in a gradual shift of exports to goods with higher levels of skilled labor inputs (see Woodward et al., 2005).In this study we therefore set out to deepen the available knowledge about the networks of Polish manufacturing firms. Among the questions touched upon in this analysis are: Do foreign-owned companies have less developed networks of Polish suppliers than domestically owned companies? What is the role of the science and technology sector in industrial innovation? What benefits do firms derive from cooperation with various types of partners? To achieve a mix of mature and emerging industries, we selected four manufacturing industries for analysis:• electronics• auto/auto parts• pharmaceuticals• food and beveragesWe proceed as follows: here in the introduction, we briefly overview of the recent development and performance of the four industries in Poland. In the second section, we present case studies of eight firms – two from each of the four industries studied. These case studies were carried out in 2003. In the third section, we analyze data collected from a sample of 226 companies in 2004. Finally, in the fourth section, we summarize and conclude.
