Overview
In this article, we chose a sector that is not covered by the author and is hardly found in books for operations management. I find the importance and importance of this topic in the global economy is very high, especially in the West. Authors and advocates (eg, Schroeder, 2004) have dealt with large enterprises, both from the manufacturing and service sectors; known as small businesses, few owned businesses, SME
Definitions and features
"British Ministry of Trade and Industry" (2001) suggests that it is mainly for corporate diversity. The UK sector offers a basic definition of SMEs, which was used by the Bolton Commission to SMEs in 1971 SME reports: "Small companies in Germany The UK sector also has its definition Statistics and hard numbers come with; but I use the more updated, more extensive SME definition given by the "EU Commission" (2003)):
The small business category employs less than 250 people and has an annual turnover not exceeding 50 million euros and / or an annual balance sheet total not exceeding 43 million euros "
An "autonomous company" is a company that is not classified as a "partner company" ... or a "linked company". Partner companies are companies that own or jointly own 25% or more of capital or voting rights or other companies (downstream companies) (upstream companies). [In the US, it is usually called "SME" and, depending on the person who owns it, is probably called "a minority owned business". In the United States, a few owned businesses often get a break in public works and contact awards; for example, there may be an additional 5% increase in public contracts where the status of minority shareholders is being assessed. ] The exception is a public investment corporation or venture capital firm that can hold more than 25%, and provided a total investment of less than € 125 billion. A "linked company" is a company with a majority of the voting rights of the shareholders or members of the other company, or the right to exercise a dominant influence on the other company
Within the small business category, small business employs less than 50 employees and is defined as a company whose annual sales / balance sheet total does not exceed 10 million euros
Within the small business category, small businesses employ less than 10 people and their annual sales / balance sheet total is defined as a company that does not exceed 2 million euros.
This distinction is strongly correlated with corporate organizations. Schlenker and Crocker (2003) show that small businesses tend to act as consultants rather than corporate groups, and that they are a mix of only traders and sole proprietorships. Often start to act like a business entity. Medium-sized companies often mirror their correspondence with a clear culture and dedicated IT capabilities. "They are more interested in the issue of" quality of life "than stock value ... Only 3% of all SMEs really want, or either employment or sales Another feature of this sector The point is that the author pointed out that most companies do not have some of the core processes (concept, manufacture, sale, delivery, sale as a result, SMEs survive, compete, and over time They are forced to work together to produce sustainable returns According to a survey conducted in 1992, 41% of SMEs in the UK compete for quality, 37% compete for prices 13% on time (lead time and on time deliver, 1994).
On the growing importance of small and medium-sized enterprises in the global economy, La-Rovere (1996) found that empirical studies of manufacturing enterprises in developed countries have made it clear that there is a clear trend towards shrinking size. Mode spread and the downsizing of a large company can be considered. Also, since the eighties, SMEs have an increasingly important role in the GDP of developed countries. This is a result of the importance of subcontracting and increased flexibility of labor for competitiveness. The author says that the barriers in many areas to the entry of new companies have decreased and that there has been a greater motivation for workers, so there have been a large number of SMEs growing Empirical studies conducted in the US and Italy There is a negative correlation between scale and growth rate. Nevertheless, the reason why only 40% of American SMEs have a lifespan of more than six years is mainly due to the lack of liquidity. Ogorman and Doran (1999), characterized by strong entrepreneurial leadership, are another factor affecting SMEs, formal structures, systems, procedures, and control. Nevertheless, SMEs are not necessarily their actuals Achieve international competitiveness without increasing the size of the insist Tetteh, and instead of burning (2001), expand "These virtual assets, information skills, digital resources, relationships between companies and other Includes the ability to manage joint contracts with companies.
The World Bank Group's SMEs division "combine SME growth in developing countries by combining the market perspectives of the International Finance Corporation and World Bank policy expertise" and http://www2.ifc.org /sme/html/about_us.html). SMEs play an important role in the economy of developing countries, which is much larger than it is in Western countries. "Small business in Bulgaria" (2001) estimates the number of SME accounts for more than 98% of all registered economic entities, following the major privatization of the 1990s. However, 46.5% of Bulgarian workers were employed by SMEs in 1999. In a study in Brazil, small and micro enterprises (up to 100 employees) produce 51% of national production, 42% of wages, 65% of employment, 99% of registered companies in the country ("SEBRAE", 1991) According to statistics, according to statistics, in developed countries, 50% of all innovations and 95% of all radical innovations since World War II are new or SMEs (Timmons, 1994) In 1996, then five-members-EU small and medium-sized enterprises, with, on average, made 66% of the employment share, at an average of six people per company ("Europe Foundation", 2001). However, in Japan in 1996, the employment rate for SMEs remained at 33%. Because the Japanese "Kay Letz" scheme of corporate groups has a cross-share network, these SMEs are valued out of the above definition on a technical basis and the United States is valued to scream the EU regarding SME employment : Only 42% of the workforce is employed by SMEs (vs. 66% of the EU), but the ratio among micro-enterprises SME labor identified by the "European Foundation" in Japanese society Some of the traits are part-time employees, non-regular and non-regular employees (family support, seasons and flexibility, informal communication, direct supervision, more broadly defined work, and customer The ability to leverage the strengths of individual employees to meet their needs The other aspects of the SME sector will be discussed throughout this paper, but in the World Bank Group's developing countries The initiative to build a good business environment Ri, small and medium-sized enterprise-specific difficulties have in these countries
