Abstract

While national and regional governments develop and implement various programmes to support rural entrepreneurship, entrepreneurs themselves consider these programmes insufficient. Ultimately, this situation negatively affects the socio-economic development of rural areas. The study aims to develop and test tools for examining the impact of entrepreneurship support programmes on rural socio-economic development. In order to investigate the motivation of actors in the economic system based on their motivating experience, hermeneutic phenomenological research methods in the field of economics were applied. The comparative analysis of entrepreneurship support programmes in Russia and New Zealand was supplemented by semi-structured interviews of entrepreneurs, which demonstrate that the implementation of unrelated projects reduces their efficiency and reinforces the negative perception. According to assessments of Russian entrepreneurs, infrastructure does not play an important role in the success of projects. In addition, the analysed government programmes rarely take into account social responsibility of business in rural areas, even though most of organisations there are family-owned. Recognising the lack of market experience of potential entrepreneurs, the government should primarily provide them with information on how to organise a sustainable business rather than with financial resources. The obtained results prove that the development and implementation of entrepreneurship support programmes in rural areas requires the involvement of multiple stakeholders: public authorities, local governments, rural entrepreneurs, as well as professional self-regulatory organisations and the rural population. To ensure efficient management of joint activities of all participants, it is necessary to establish a comprehensive system in the form of a rural entrepreneurial ecosystem, where the set targets for the development of rural entrepreneurship can be achieved.
加强国家对农村创业的支持
虽然国家和地区政府制定和执行各种方案来支持农村创业,但企业家们自己认为这些方案是不够的。这种情况最终会对农村地区的社会经济发展产生负面影响。这项研究的目的是开发和测试工具,以审查创业支助方案对农村社会经济发展的影响。运用经济学领域的解释学现象学研究方法,从行为者的激励经验出发,考察经济系统中行为者的动机。对俄罗斯和新西兰企业家支持计划的比较分析辅以对企业家的半结构化访谈,结果表明,实施不相关的项目降低了他们的效率,并加强了负面看法。根据俄罗斯企业家的评估,基础设施在项目成功中没有发挥重要作用。此外,所分析的政府项目很少考虑到农村地区企业的社会责任,尽管那里的大多数组织都是家族企业。认识到潜在企业家缺乏市场经验,政府应主要向他们提供如何组织可持续企业的信息,而不是提供资金资源。获得的结果证明,在农村地区制定和实施创业支持计划需要多个利益相关者的参与:公共当局、地方政府、农村企业家、以及专业自律组织和农村人口。为了保证对所有参与者的共同活动进行有效的管理,需要以农村创业生态系统的形式建立一个全面的系统,在这个系统中,农村创业发展的既定目标可以实现。
