INTRODUCTION
A characteristic feature of many countries with modern Economics is the dominance of small and medium business.
In contrast to the business of large corporations, including international ones, the business of large capitals and production facilities with thousands to hundreds of thousands of employees, small and medium business is primarily a phenomenon of implementation of entrepreneurial idea, a form of active creativity, people’s initiative, which attracts and mobilizes even small capitals into business, into productive activities.
Small and medium business, small and medium entrepreneurship are stable phrases that will be used many times in this book, so we will introduce two abbreviations here: SMB, or small and medium business, and SME, or small and medium entrepreneurship.
SME is a set of business initiatives and creative aspirations of citizens, the basis of formation of a developed competitive environment, new technological, manufacturing, managerial ideas, innovative activity, new jobs, creation of new needs, goods and services, and as a result – an increase of tax revenues to the state budget, based on which an improvement of the well-being and quality of life of citizens is possible.
However, SMEs, despite all their progressive qualities, are first of all threatened with the termination of their activities in the case of unfavorable economic conditions. Today, such a threat is the pandemic of coronavirus Covid-19, the result of which is the reduction of domestic and international markets for products, forced mutual isolation of employees of small and medium enterprises from both the external environment and from each other, the difficulty of overcoming the logistical barriers in bringing their products to the consumer, the decline in purchasing power.
The second threat, often no less, are negative trends in the social life of different countries, including an increase in the number and simultaneously aggressiveness of non-value-producing strata and groups living on government benefits and other similar means, which exacerbates economic tension in society and complicates business. Especially small and medium-sized businesses.
In such circumstances, preserving the sustainability of small and medium-sized businesses and their human potential becomes particularly important. An important role in this case acquires the support of small and medium-sized businesses by the state, regions and various state and public institutions. And the support is necessary not so much in the form of direct financial injections into SMEs, but rather in the form of finding and implementing such managerial decisions which will help small and medium-sized enterprises:
– reduce non-production costs,
– reduce non-production costs, maintain access to markets when markets are shrinking,
– to find and develop new markets, including international markets of other countries,
– to obtain non-financial structural help in re-equipping production with more efficient fixed assets, to increase the level of automation and management,
– to improve the knowledge and competence of management personnel of enterprises, especially small businesses.
Small and medium business today forms such a vast area providing employment that practically any measures from the state are justified to prevent these people from losing their livelihood, which is their small or medium enterprise activity.
