We argue that the proposed model could stand as an evaluation tool by the policymakers and regional and national authorities and a practical guide for investment planning by SMEs based on their emerging needs. The research methodology is based on the logical framework analysis and aims to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the design-reality gap in public funding. According to the findings, improvements in the design of state aids for R%D and environmental protection projects should include two main directions: (1) introduction of individual-specific measures in the initiatives that regard the operational framework of aids. (2) Reformation of the role of the financial system. Further analysis of measurements has confirmed that initiatives should be enacted to improve certain procedures relating to the operation of state aids additionally.","PeriodicalId":35412,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Globalisation and Small Business","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJGSB.2016.080376","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66886238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These studies aimed at analysing, developing and proposing different conceptual and management frameworks within a context characterised by increasing scarcity of financial resources in addition to regulatory complexity. The work aims to achieve the research objectives through an inductive/deductive research method.

Outsourcing can bring tremendous benefits to organisations, but if an outsourcing decision is not precise and factors influencing the outsourcing decision are not considered, it can also bring irreparable damage. This study is to identify and rank the factors affecting the outsourcing on the basis of strategic perspective in supply chains of small and medium manufacturing enterprises. In this study, the factors influencing the strategic outsourcing decisions were determined on the basis of prior literature. In this approach, the refinement of the parameters using factor analysis was conducted to determine the most important sub-indices, and then due to the multidimensional nature of these factors, the analytic hierarchy process technique used for the weighting of factors and fuzzy additive ratio assessment method are used for ranking sub-criteria factors influencing strategic outsourcing. The findings show that the 'quality' is the most important factor and 'management agent' is the factor with the lowest importance.","PeriodicalId":35412,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Globalisation and Small Business","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJGSB.2016.078813","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66886083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To ensure sustainable market success of entrepreneurs, it can be advisable to cooperate with existing value-adding structures, such as dynamic networks. The latter adapt flexibly to changing market situations and high competition on a medium-term scale. In this paper, the authors evaluate the benefits of temporary network integration on the basis of commonly gained profits. For this purpose, they develop a mixed-integer linear programming model, which is extended to analyse the integration of one or more facilities of a start-up company. Cooperation requires that entrepreneurs and network managers coordinate the availability of their facilities and capacities, their operations and the material flows to meet the given demand. In this context, the authors do not only consider decisions about the advantage of integration, but they also calculate two different threshold levels determining those product quantities that can be maximally fed into the network by the new partner. Finally, a numerical study is presented. Structural relationships and optimal solutions are depicted for a small problem instance. A scenario analysis with randomly generated data is used to show that satisfying solutions can be obtained for problem instances with realistic settings in acceptable computation times.","PeriodicalId":35412,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Globalisation and Small Business","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJGSB.2016.076461","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66885995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The competition and the size of the SMEs are used to measure the environmental factors. This research uses field survey data collected from SMEs operating in Bandung city. Three-stage approach is used in this research. At the first stage, this research applies the data envelopment analysis (DEA) to estimate technical efficiency. At the second stage, this research employs the slack-based approach to estimate the effect of environmental factors on the technical efficiency. At the last stage, the technical efficiency is estimated using the DEA with the adjusted inputs derived from the second stage. This research finds that a significant improvement of the technical efficiency occurs after taking into account the competition and the size of the SMEs. This research also reveals that competition only affects significantly the capital slack. Further, the size of the SMEs affects significantly the slacks of all input variables.","PeriodicalId":35412,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Globalisation and Small Business","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/ijgsb.2016.076447","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66886335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
