The Impact

This study aims to measure the impact of facilities provided by King Hussein Business Park on investment promotion. King Hussein Business Park has reached 100% occupancy rate, with a crucial plan for expansion to over 1.4 million m2 of land. The problem of the study lies on how King Hussein Business Park will attract additional investments to occupy the spaces targeted for expansion. Results of the study reveal a significant positive impact of the facilities on investment promotion. The robust infrastructure, complementary services, and investment law benefits influence the creation of attractive business environment for investments. These findings show that countries with scarce resources face many challenges in promoting investment either locally or internationally, and they must improve their business climate for investment promotion. Governments also have the means to make conducting the businesses and projects easier for people.

There remains a knowledge gap regarding the factors that drive the development of business-nonprofit partnerships in the context of employer-supported volunteering—especially in small and medium enterprises. Furthermore, there is a need to consider how enterprises operate in their cultural contexts to better understand how they support volunteering trends in Canada. This study aimed to improve understanding of the multi-level factors that foster the development of business-nonprofit partnerships in the context of employer-supported volunteering. Fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with community and small business actors in a semi-rural setting in Francophone Québec. Results challenged the traditional view of volunteer support as a distinct activity, showing an integrated system of inter-dependence. Results suggest the relevance of conceptualizing small enterprises’ support of volunteering as part of an inclusive approach to community engagement. RÉSUMÉLes facteurs liés au développement de partenariats entre entreprises et OBNL dans le contexte du bénévolat appuyé par l’employeur sont méconnus – particulièrement au sein des petites et moyennes entreprises. Il est également pertinent de considérer le contexte culturel pour mieux comprendre les tendances canadiennes du bénévolat appuyé par l’employeur. Cette étude vise l’obtention d’une meilleure compréhension des facteurs multiniveaux associés au développement de partenariats entreprises-OBNL dans le contexte du soutien au bénévolat. Quinze entretiens semistructurés ont été effectués auprès d’acteurs du secteur communautaire et des petites entreprises dans un milieu semi-rural francophone-québécois. Les résultats repositionnent la notion d’activités distinctes et témoignent plutôt d’un système intégré d’interdépendances. Les résultats suggèrent de conceptualiser le soutien au bénévolat des petites entreprises au sein d’une approche inclusive d’engagement communautaire.

The high failure rate of new small enterprises in Angola calls to attention the fact that they are not equipped enough to meet the challenges of sustainable economic growth, equitable distribution of wealth and job creation. The worrying impact on the Angolan landscape, as a consequence, has had economists scrambling for solutions in recent years. Moving from on the assumption that the current business climate has been a contributing factor, this paper attempts to examine the role of external environmental factors in the context of Angola. Adopting a quantitative approach, the questionnaire was utilized as the primary data collection tool with snowballing as the sampling technique. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software delivered a result to the quantitative data that indicate a severe lack of economic support and availability of fundamental business resources such as raw material, skilled people and finance, and rigid policy-making regulations. The doomed-to-fail death knell to the Angolan small business comes in the form of a high level of corruption and theft in the country

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify in what way micro and small firms from low-technology industries which are dependent on foreign companies can ensure that they derive benefits from these relationships and what is more, in what way government policy should support this. Design/methodology/approach – A longitudinal study of a furniture company has been used. The company’s relationship with its large foreign customer is analysed from the perspective of the market-oriented power dependence and the IMP interdependence concept. Additionally the secondary sources of information about Polish furniture industry have been used in order to present its international specificity. Findings – The analysis shows that micro and small firms may derive benefits from their relationships with foreign entities due to their flexibility and the creation of heavy resources based on the standards of cooperation. Policies supporting exports and internationalisation cannot be isolated activities which end with the creation of foreign contacts and initiating transactions. Policy makers should concentrate on the support of the knowledge and experience exchange in terms of maintaining contacts with foreign entities as well as creation of a favourable framework of conditions for companies. Practical implications – The recommendations may be applied to design a policy supporting micro and small enterprises representing low-technology industries from economies with a limited internal market. Originality/value – The paper compares the perspective of a market-orientated power-dependency concept with the IMP interdependency approach. This sheds a light by adding an analysis of how to best utilise interdependencies on both sides of the supplier-customer interface. Both opportunities and hindrances resulting from the relationship between small firms and larger foreign companies are highlighted. Thanks to this approach a discussion is conducted in order to illustrate the policy implications of supporting micro and small enterprises from low-technology industries.

The components of the partnership strategy of small restaurant enterprises have been formed. The expedient variants of realization of strategy of partnership by the enterprises of restaurant economy are defined. The obtained research results can be used for further development of the theory of strategic management of small restaurant enterprises and applied in their practical activity.

In any developing country like India, Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) showed its best effort in improving the mass standard of living by ensuring employment generation. Thus the grass root people who otherwise might not get entered into the formal sector due to lack of technical skill and education could get their employment there easily. But the lack of technical know-how of the participants of MSEs may not allow them to have awareness of occupational hazards. This calls for a severe problem in Health and Safety related issues in MSEs for those individuals. The present study, therefore, takes its objectives to highlight on the maintenance of Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) related issues in MSEs where the perceptions of the participants play an important role. To fulfil these objectives, the study takes its attempt to pursue a primary survey on 95 randomly selected participants out of 24 registered MSEs of select sectors of West Burdwan, an industrially developed district of West Bengal. The sectors are selected purposively based on their significant presence in West Burdwan. The data have been collected through questionnaire and non-parametric tests has been used for further assessment. It is found that creating cozy atmosphere, privacy, artificial lighting conditions, ventilation, facilities for rest and meals, and so on are the factors to be maintained under OH&S in MSEs. The responses of the participants are found as sector specific and socio-demographic characteristics specific. In this issue, while the young male members like ‘facilities for rest and meals’, the female members prefer ‘privacy’ as the factor to be maintained for OH&S in MSEs. Thus the paper in its policy implication exhibited the sector-wise and socio-demography wise preferences of the participants on OH&S related issues.

Since the 1970s, the growing interest on the development of small enterprises has been decorating the scene of government policy in developing countries as well as the international donor concern. The failure and cost of industrialization, the limitations of the agricultural sector, and the low capability of the formal sector in responding to the growing population are among the factors justifying this policy initiation. Another important factor is the intrinsic potential and prospect of small enterprises, despite their development problems. This research conducted on 4 villages within the Province of Yogyakarta Special Region and CentralJava is aimed at contributing to a rather comprehensive view on the profile of small enterprises and the profile of small entrepreneurs. A specific emphasis is given to rural entrepreneurship due to its crucial role in accelerating the development of small enterprises.

The state and prospects of Ukrainian legislation in the field of investment, as well as the organization of attraction and support of investments at the state and regional level are investigated. The necessity of systematization of investment legislation of Ukraine, the outcome of which should be the adoption of the Investment Code. It is also grounded that the process of attracting and supporting investments, namely the creation of a separate body for which it would be assigned the task of promoting foreign investment both at the state and at the regional level, also needs to be improved. It is determined that the necessary conditions for increasing the investment activity of domestic enterprises at the state level are the formation and implementation of a well-balanced investment policy, ensuring favorable business climate in the country, development of investment and infrastructure provision of investment processes, etc. At the level of regions and certain sectors of the economy, the development and implementation of regional and sectoral investment development programs should contribute to the effective implementation of investment activities. It is expedient to create a special body that would engage in investment and support of investment projects at the state level, and also had its representative offices in all regions of Ukraine, which would be engaged in supporting local investment projects. This will enable the creation of an effective regional policy, the formation of investment attractiveness, and, thus, to ensure the receipt of investment resources.
