Small businesses are an important contributor to local communities and economies. When it comes to recovering from a natural disaster, it is important to support local small businesses to reopen for business as soon as possible. If they are unable to rebound to provide products and services on which we rely as a community, recovery efforts will be curtailed and delayed. This paper provides a practitioner view on the lessons that can be learnt specifically from the Australian experience. The lessons outlined here resonate with small businesses in any disaster recovery context. The insight provided will inform the development of recovery policies and activities in the immediate, short- and long-term at an individual as well as a business level.","PeriodicalId":45085,"journal":{"name":"Small Enterprise Research","volume":"15 1","pages":"101 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82068716","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 results show that the level of e-market adoption in Australian SMEs is still low with the dominant trend of adoption focusing on building their own e-markets. This is problematic for SMEs provided with the limited financial resources and technical expertise in SMEs for creating and maintaining an e-market. The adoption of a public e-market, as a result, should be promoted by the Australian government department for making a greater potential of the e-market in SMEs. The adoption of e-market in Australian SMEs does not differ much in terms of size but in different industries. Industries with high information dependence and low information tacitness have a higher chance of the adoption of e-market for conducting electronic commerce activities.","PeriodicalId":45085,"journal":{"name":"Small Enterprise Research","volume":"55 1","pages":"23 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77430517","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}

Using longitudinal, firm-level data from 2005 to 2010 in Iran, this study examines the effect of one Iranian province’s loan programme on employment based on two different methods of evaluating causal effects. The first method applies a difference-in-difference fixed effects matching estimator to estimate the employment effect of the programme. The second method applies the generalized propensity score to estimate the impact of the amount of a loan on employment. The results from the first method suggest that the loan programme has a positive and significant effect on the employment of treated firms. The results from the second method suggest that the estimated employment effects increase with the amount of the loan, whereas there is a decrease in the marginal effects of an additional amount of loan.","PeriodicalId":45085,"journal":{"name":"Small Enterprise Research","volume":"9 1","pages":"64 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82727041","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}

In a departure from previous research of managerial values, a conceptual Maturity Model of Managerial Values (MM-MV) was used which articulates the extent to which values are integrated or enacted within organizations. This allowed for a rigorous examination of how organizational size was related to the degree of values-enactment in SMEs. Results suggest a positive relationship between larger firm size and a higher degree of espoused values-enactment.

However, the extant research focuses on skills required by entrepreneurs without distinguishing which skills are needed at each entrepreneurial phase. To understand the research conducted to date, this paper examined a total of 72 articles in some of the leading entrepreneurship and management journals. The reviewed literature demonstrates that entrepreneurial studies on skills tend to adopt a singular phase rather than a multi-phase approach. Examining skills at the different entrepreneurial phases shows that the importance and complexity of skills change across the phases. Further, the context in which an entrepreneur is situated has an influence on the development and application of skills. Finally, the study puts forth a conceptual model and propositions that demonstrate an interplay between skills, entrepreneurial phases, and context. The paper identifies implications for theory, practice and future research.","PeriodicalId":45085,"journal":{"name":"Small Enterprise Research","volume":"275 1","pages":"39 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76743778","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}

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a critical role in it. However, Indian manufacturing SMEs are not able to contribute enough. The paper thus explores policy level modifications required to enhance the contribution of SMEs critical to the growth of the Indian economy. The study uses the narrative policy framework (NPF) by using non-experimental content analysis to present findings. The meso level research explains how policy narrative influences the policy outcome. The study thus presents the benefits as well as challenges of shifting policy focus as per the requirement of ever-changing business ecosystem. The study finds that NPF can be an important tool for scholars to understand the policy problems. This study is unique as it broader policy process scholarship by expanding NPF theory using content analysis and dealing with questions relevant to strategic policy actors and solutions for the first time.","PeriodicalId":45085,"journal":{"name":"Small Enterprise Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"85 - 96"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88335213","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}

A mixed-methods research design was employed involving deductive thematic analysis of interviews with 33 MFI managers. This was followed by t-tests of differences between 24 highly regulated rural and community banks (RCBs) and 31 less regulated “susu” companies on the measures of financial sustainability. A new dimension was added to literature by employing both qualitative and quantitative analysis, giving respondents a voice and ensuring findings reflected their experiences and ideas. Participants recognized an association among financial sustainability, revenue generation and operations efficiency. They noted that regulations provide benefits that improve revenue generation but also increase cost of operations. T-tests showed “susu” companies were more financially sustainable than RCBs. It is recommended that MFIs deliver innovative products to enable owner-managers grow their businesses, while enabling the MFIs to expand their outreach and improve their financial sustainability.","PeriodicalId":45085,"journal":{"name":"Small Enterprise Research","volume":"5 1","pages":"235 - 252"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83836381","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}

Through the lens of the relationship between FDI, economic growth and labour force among small food enterprises in Bangladesh, we develop some propositions that can help SMEs to be more sustainable. We demonstrate how traditional business models need to reflect changing global contexts of SMEs. Whilst the pecking order theory suggests that SME owners must use internal sources of finance before external sources, we find that external financing is a significant factor for the growth of SMEs. Our findings contribute to an understanding of how SME managers can use FDI as a resource to develop growth strategies. This presents an opportunity for small food enterprises in Bangladesh to be more organized. Given that SMEs are often informationally opaque, getting organized will help them to become less informationally opaque, as well as reduce the finance gap by attracting FDI.","PeriodicalId":45085,"journal":{"name":"Small Enterprise Research","volume":"43 1","pages":"268 - 287"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89818643","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 research sample was composed of 20 experts of entrepreneurship who were selected by criterion and snowball sampling techniques. The criteria included political, cultural, social capital, human resource, market, financial, and support dimensions. It was found that the political, cultural, and social capital criteria scored the highest weighted importance of 0.536, 0.423, and 0.361, respectively. As a result, they were the most important factors in accounting for the sustainability of an entrepreneurial ecosystem. Furthermore, the consistency test showed that the inconsistency ratio was smaller than 0.01 for all studied factors, leading to the conclusion that each individual ecosystem integrates the factors existing in each region in its own specific way. In fact, no single dimension can be removed from entrepreneurial ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":45085,"journal":{"name":"Small Enterprise Research","volume":"22 1","pages":"288 - 306"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81213900","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}

Drawing upon recent research, we illuminate how large enterprises, perhaps not surprisingly, have an advantage concerning economies of scales. They also emphasize green R&D investments along with sustainable strategies, and which are less emphasized by small enterprises. Large enterprises are more innovative than small enterprises, but taking into account R&D investments and inter-firm collaboration, small enterprises are genuinely more innovative than large enterprises. Lastly, we emphasize how small enterprises to a stronger degree than large enterprises develop spinoffs in new industries. Indeed, the smaller the enterprise, the more easily it can develop spinoffs in new industries that are cognitively very different from its current industry. Altogether, we conclude that small and large enterprises have complementary features that are crucial for industry development and value creation.","PeriodicalId":45085,"journal":{"name":"Small Enterprise Research","volume":"12 1","pages":"320 - 325"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74550263","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}
