Opis:
After joining the European Union, Polish entrepreneurs, especially those in the small and medium-sized sector, gained the opportunity to be supported by non-repayable aid funds, mainly under the Cohesion Policy. They used these funds primarily for the expansion of production (service) capacities, research and development activities, implementation of innovations and training of human resources. Despite the need to meet numerous requirements, they eagerly sought EU funds because of their non-refundable nature. When analysing the available results of studies and analyses in the field of support to SMEs through EU non-reimbursable aid, it is difficult to assess clearly their importance for the functioning and development of the sector in question, in particular for the investment, innovation or R&D activities of SMEs. This is due to the fact that they were usually of a fragmentary nature. Effects were assessed in terms of the project system (tangible products) and not in terms of their importance for the functioning of the SME sector. This study is an attempt at a broader assessment of the significance of EU funding for SMEs, taking into account the author’s experience in preparing, evaluating and implementing projects co-financed by funds in the analysed sector. The subject of the analysis carried out in the study is the volume, directions and effects of support for the SME sector in Poland with EU funds, while the aim is to determine the importance of this support in the activities of the entities in this sector (excluding investments in human capital). The analysis covers the last two completed Cohesion Policy programming periods: 2007–2013 and 2014–2020. The data used for the analysis come from the sources of the Ministry responsible for the implementation of EU funds in Poland, the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development, and public statistics.

Short food supply chains (SFSCs)
Opis:
Purpose – The aim of this article is to identify the issues of short food supply chains (SFSCs) in three countries of Central and Eastern Europe, i.e. Lithuania, Latvia and Poland, to compare the barriers to shortening food supply chains and to indicate business models for short supply chains. Design/methodology/approach – Within the AgroBRIDGES project, the authors organized local co-creation workshops from August to September 2021 in 12 European regions and countries, engaging 150þ agrifood stakeholders of the project’s local communities. Findings – The development potential of SFSCs in Lithuania, Latvia and Poland is high and seems to be growing every year. Currently, the development potential of SFSCs in Lithuania, Latvia and Poland is stimulated more by social trends than by public support. Traditional business models based on the distribution of food products through local and regional markets have a definitely diminishing potential. Research limitations/implications – Although this article covers an existing gap in the literature, it also has several limitations that may serve as an inspiration for future research. First, the results draw on a sample of agrifood value chain stakeholders in Lithuania, Latvia and Poland; hence, the findings might be industry specific. Therefore, future studies should explore this topic on wider target groups or different industries. Moreover, the method is qualitative and could be supplemented with additional quantitative analysis of similar tools or the experience of other agrifood companies from European countries. Practical implications – The article seeks to build bridges between consumers and producers by supporting SFSCs through a systemic, holistic and multi-actor approach. Originality/value – The study elaborates on the under-researched topic of SFSCs in the context of barriers to shortening food supply chains and business models for short supply chains in Lithuania, Latvia and Poland.

Opis:
Relating to the accelerated development in the world of business, third-party logistics (3PL) providers have globally become a prevalent practice among many organizations, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). According to extant studies, the most common four logistics services usually provided through 3PLs (outsourced) are: delivery service, supplying, warehousing, and transportation services. With that being said, this paper presents an analysis of the SME outsourcing practice among a sample of Jordanian trading companies and the posited impact on the performance of their outsourcing efforts.

Opis:
Purpose – Manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have already noticed the tangible benefits offered by artificial intelligence (AI). Several approaches have been proposed with a view to support them in the processes entailed in this innovation path. These include multisided platforms created to enable the connection between SMEs and AI developers, making it easier for them to network each other. While such platforms are complex, they facilitate simultaneous interaction with several stakeholders and reaching out to new potential users (both SMEs and AI developers), through a collaboration with supporting ecosystems such as digital innovation hubs (DIHs). Design/methodology/approach – Mixed methods were used. The literature review was performed to identify the existing approaches within and outside the manufacturing domain. Computer-assisted telephonic (in-depth) interviewing, was conducted to include perspectives of AI platform stakeholders and collect primary data from various European countries. Findings – Several challenges and barriers for AI platform stakeholders were identified alongside the corresponding best practices and guidelines on how to address them. Originality/value – An effective approach was proposed to provide support to the industrial platform managers in this field, by developing guidelines and best practices on how a platform should build its services to support the ecosystem.

Opis:
Progressive urbanization, economic integration, and development of modern technologies lead to the emergence of a new generation of globally networked cities attracting capital, ideas and people. Size is not the most significant factor influencing the importance of a city. At least equally important are innovation, activity in city networks, the activity of the inhabitants and the quality of life. 15 years ago, Taylor et al. suggested that “it is no longer possible to talk of ‘non-global’ cities”. The research problem of this paper corresponds with the statement, addressing the question whether and how small and medium-sized cities show their manifestations of globalization. The hypothesis is that cities, regardless of size, show some signs of it. Such manifestations may be classified as political, economic, socio-cultural, and other. The conclusions confirm that the hypothesis has been positively verified. As a result of the application of probability sampling methods, the cities chosen for examination include the European cities of Aarhus (Denmark), Basel (Switzerland), and Tallinn (Estonia) as they are representative for numerous small and medium-sized cities.

Opis:
Purpose: The paper’s main objective is to structure the knowledge of the existing regulatory frameworks, projects and actions that support sustainable performance management (SPM) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) against the backdrop of the growing significance of the circular economy. The paper will also evidence how strategic management accounting (SMA) assists this process, what individual metrics, dashboards or scorecard concepts have been proposed and how their use may be assessed. Methodology/approach: The research methods include (1) a descriptive systematic analysis of the policies established by the policymakers and regulators in the EU, (2) a comparative analysis of various organisations’ initiatives, actions, delivered toolkits and their outputs, and (3) a literature review of the essential works and research studies on sustainable business models (SBMs), circular business models (CBMs) and SPM in the context of SMEs. Findings: The policies established in the EU support SPM by encouraging SMEs to be involved in sustainable business practices and indicating how to embark on a green transition. Recently, multiple initiatives have been aimed at indicating the opportunities the closed-loop economy system offers SMEs. Many toolkits have also been developed to help SMEs measure their sustainable performance. Although this measurement is vital for SMEs, the business practice falls behind the regulatory framework. Therefore, internal initiatives from the SME sector are needed to popularise the sustainability concept. Research limitations/implications: SMEs show lower levels of compliance with environmental requirements and are unaware of how their activities affect the environment. A limitation of the research is that, in many cases, SMEs are not ready to respond properly to the ESG requirements imposed by regulators. The reason may be a lack of knowledge, experience and limited funds. Therefore, future research should focus on recognizing the gaps in this area and identifying what may be impeding the development of sustainability performance management in SMEs. Originality/value: The work presents the evolution path from the traditional business models (TBMs) through the SBMs to innovative CBMs and addresses their distinctive features. It contributes to the existing knowledge about SMA in SMEs by analysing its links with SPM.

Opis:
Research background: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a fundamental role in countries’ economies. Currently, entrepreneurs are struggling not only with the uncertainty of the business environment, but also with high expectations for businesses to be run in a sustainable way. Therefore, the impact of corporate reputation and social media on sustainability is an area of interest for entrepreneurs. In this context, little research has been conducted on their perception of the linkage between these issues. Furthermore, there has been no direct explanation of the effects of SMEs’ reputation and social media usage on their sustainable development, especially in the V4 countries. Purpose of the article: This article defines, quantifies, and verifies the effects of corporate reputation and social media on sustainable development as perceived by SMEs’ owners and top managers in the V4 countries. Methods: Data were gathered in December 2022 and January 2023 using the computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI) method. The survey was designed based on a literature review and experts’ opinions. Respondents (top managers of SMEs, n = 1090) were asked questions on their firms’ characteristics, reputation, social media usage and sustainable development. The linear regression modelling (LRM) was utilised to evaluate the hypothesis. Findings & value added: The study revealed a strong relationship between owners’ and top managers’ perceptions of the importance of both corporate reputation and sustainable development in SMEs. The belief that social media supports the growth of companies’ performance is related to the understanding of the concept of sustainable business development. Surprisingly, for the owners and top managers of SMEs in V4 countries, there was no relationship between the awareness of social media usage to share information with customers and partners and the understanding of sustainable business growth.

Opis:
The article presents the results of the analysis of the declarations of the authorities of small and medium-sized cities in Poland regarding the need to implement adaptation measures to the effects of climate change, and an assessment of the adequacy of the planned activities in this area. As part of the study, Environmental Protection Programmes in 80 cities with a population of up to 100,000 inhabitants were analysed. In the beginning, the most important challenges that the effects of climate change pose for cities are discussed. Then the results of the research are described and discussed. The paper ends with a short summary. The obtained results are not unambiguous. On the one hand, it has been shown that the issues of environmental protection and adaptation to climate change are not among the most important priorities of the authorities of small and medium-sized cities, and the way of presenting the issue of adaptation in the analysed documents, concerning the threats caused by the effects of climate change, is not sufficient and adequate to the level of danger. On the other hand, the results show that the importance of this problem has been increasing in recent years and that the authorities of small and medium-sized towns more and more often declare the need and readiness to support adaptation measures.

Opis:
The main aim of the paper is to study the impact of the level of digitization of business activities on the human resources orientation on sustainable consumption and production (SCP) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Design/methodology/approach: During the research process, a survey was conducted among 140 SMEs in Poland at the beginning of 2020. The multiple regression model was built to find the link between the variables. Findings: Statistical analysis indicated that digitization did not have a clearly positive impact on employees’ orientation towards SCP. Among the analysed variables, negatively correlated relationships appeared, especially in the area of the digitization of contacts with the customers. Research limitations: As limitations, it can be pointed the managerial approach during survey research, limited research group, as well as the study period excluding pandemic time. Originality/value: The novelty of the research manifests itself in in the fact that the research problem was applied to the small and medium-sized enterprises, instead of to corporations.

Opis:
Dnia 22 czerwca 2018 r. został powołany urząd Rzecznika Małych i Średnich Przedsiębiorców (Rzecznik MŚP). W opracowaniu przedstawiono proces i drogę, jaką przebyła koncepcja urzędu Rzecznika MŚP od momentu pojawienia się jej – ponad 10 lat temu oraz zapisy ustawy o Rzeczniku Małych i Średnich Przedsiębiorców, określającej zadania tej nowej instytucji. Na tym tle zaprezentowane zostały wyniki badania znajomości instytucji Rzecznika MŚP wśród przedsiębiorców i ich oceny działalności tego urzędu. Badanie zostało przeprowadzone wśród mikro, małych i średnich przedsiębiorców w okresie sierpień – październik 2021 roku. Tezą główną artykułu jest to, że Rzecznik MŚP nie wykonuje prawidłowo swoich ustawowych obowiązków, działa pozornie. Niewystarczająca promocja nie tyle działań, co samego urzędu i zakresu jego ustawowych kompetencji sprawia, że po ponad trzech latach polscy mikro, mali i średni przedsiębiorcy wciąż niewiele wiedzą o takim urzędzie.
On June 22, 2018, the office of the Ombudsman for Small and Medium-sized Entrepreneurs (SME Ombudsman) was established. The article presents the process and path that the concept of the Office of the Ombudsman for SMEs has undergone since its appearance – over 10 years ago, and the provisions of the Act on the Ombudsman for Small and Medium-sized Entrepreneurs, defining the tasks of this new institution. Against this background, the results of the survey on the awareness of the institution of the Ombudsman for SMEs among entrepreneurs and their assessment of the activity of this office were presented. The survey was conducted among micro, small and mediumsized enterprises in the period August – October 2021. The main thesis of the article is that the activities of the SME Ombudsman are not clearly articulated in relation to the relevant scope of competence. Insufficient promotion of not so much the activities as the office itself and the scope of its statutory competences means that after more than three years, Polish micro, small and medium entrepreneurs still know little about such an office.

PURPOSE: The purpose of the present research note is to give an overview of research in the field of risk management in leasing SMEs as well as to present fields for future research. It intends to encourage other researchers to fill the current gap in research on risk management in general and on risk management in (German leasing) SMEs in particular. DESIGN/METHOD: The research note is based on interviews with 40 German leasing firms, thereof 35 SMEs. Qualitative research was chosen due to the nascent knowledge area and to explore cause-effect-relationships as well as to gain a deeper understanding of the practical requirements on risk management. RESULTS/FINDINGS: A research framework was presented based on the findings of the literature review. Based on the interviews, the framework could be drilled down into more operative, leasing-specific topics. Amongst others, it could be found that the risk management organisation is greatly shaped by the underlying risk strategy, the motivation for risk management, as well as the essential risks. These three elements form the basis for the operative and strategic risk management practice. Furthermore, it was differentiated in the different lifecycle phases of risk management. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: The presented research note is based on the first known research in the field of risk management for German leasing SMEs with a comparable number of interviews. Therefore, this research note includes a high degree of novelty. Adapting the findings in practice as well as combining it with other research questions might add significant value to risk management research as well as practice not only limited to the German leasing industry.

Purpose: The objective of the paper is to study the impact of the global coronavirus pandemic on the standing of micro-enterprises in the Silesian Voivodeship. Design/methodology/approach: A study sample of 120 micro-enterprises from the Silesian Voivodeship has been selected. The study methods such as an interview and a survey have been used. A questionnaire has been used as a tool. The properly completed surveys have been obtained from 43 enterprises. Findings: It has been established that depending on the specific nature of a given enterprise and the area in which it operates, enterprises are, to varying degrees, susceptible to the impact of adverse factors related to the emergence of the global coronavirus pandemic, which, in turn, results in the differences in the standing of these enterprises. Research limitations/implications: In view of the small study sample, the studies carried out do not create a complete picture of the impact of the pandemic on micro-enterprises in the Silesian Voivodeship. They are rather a contribution to further studies. These should be conducted on the basis of a larger study sample. Originality/value: The global coronavirus pandemic which affected the world in the years 2019-2022 has left a strong mark on many aspects of human functioning, including pursuing business activity. It is important to gain knowledge on the impact of pandemic-related restrictions on the functioning of micro-enterprises in order to develop mechanisms to mitigate the adverse effects on entrepreneurship based on micro-enterprises.

Opis:
There is much research on women's entrepreneurship but little research on the types of women entrepreneurs. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to make a segmentation of female entrepreneurs. The data is based on a survey of one hundred and seventy-seven Bulgarian female entrepreneurs through a standardized questionnaire. For segmentation purposes, 10 original variables are used, which refer to the reasons for starting a business, typical characteristics of women entrepreneurs, competitive advantages, strengths and success factors, and barriers to their entrepreneurial activities. Two cluster analyses were conducted (hierarchical and non-hierarchical), resulting in three distinctive clusters. These clusters are tested for stability, validity and predictive power, while the profiling is performed with some demographic indicators. The results reveal that the first cluster includes female entrepreneurs who are driven by a desire for independence. Their management practices rely on the quality of products/services, personal customer service, family attitude towards employees and personal qualities and contacts. This cluster is dominated by young women with higher education. Unlike it, the third cluster refers to the women who became entrepreneurs out of necessity - to avoid unemployment. Older women with lower education prevail in this cluster. The second cluster is somewhere in the middle between the first and the third ones. The novelty of this study is the segmentation by certain variables that add to the understanding of women entrepreneurs and would help for better targeting of policies in support of women's entrepreneurship.
Istnieje mnogość badań na temat przedsiębiorczości kobiet, ale niewiele badań na temat typologii kobiet - przedsiębiorców. Dlatego też głównym celem niniejszego opracowania jest dokonanie segmentacji kobiet - przedsiębiorców. Dane opierają się na badaniu przy użyciu kwestionariusza standaryzowanego stu siedemdziesięciu siedmiu bułgarskich kobiet -przedsiębiorców. Dla celów segmentacji wykorzystano 10 oryginalnych zmiennych, które odnoszą się do powodów rozpoczęcia działalności gospodarczej, typowych cech kobiet przedsiębiorców, przewag konkurencyjnych, mocnych stron i czynników sukcesu oraz barier dla ich działań przedsiębiorczych. Przeprowadzono dwie analizy skupień (hierarchiczną i niehierarchiczną), w wyniku których uzyskano trzy wyróżniające się skupienia. Skupienia te są testowane pod kątem stabilności, ważności i mocy predykcyjnej, podczas gdy profilowanie odbywa się przy użyciu niektórych wskaźników demograficznych. Wyniki ujawniają, że pierwsze skupienie obejmuje kobiety-przedsiębiorców, które kierują się pragnieniem niezależności. Ich praktyki zarządzania opierają się na jakości produktów/usług, osobistej obsłudze klienta, rodzinnym podejściu do pracowników oraz osobistych cechach i kontaktach. W skupieniu tym dominują młode kobiety z wyższym wykształceniem. W przeciwieństwie do niego, trzecie skupienie odnosi się do kobiet, które zostały przedsiębiorcami z konieczności - aby uniknąć bezrobocia. W skupieniu tym przeważają kobiety starsze, z niższym wykształceniem. Drugie skupisko znajduje się gdzieś pośrodku między pierwszym a trzecim. Nowością tego badania jest segmentacja według określonych zmiennych, które przyczyniają się do zrozumienia kobiet przedsiębiorców i pomagają w lepszym ukierunkowaniu polityk wspierających przedsiębiorczość kobiet.

Opis:
Supply Chain Management (SCM) drivers are the key factors in successful SCM strategy implementation. SMEs with limited resources need to focus on the top drivers to improve performance and competitiveness. The paper explores which driver factors have the largest importance according to the opinion of the top managers of SMEs. Two developing countries were compared which have different supply chain environments mainly due to their geographical structure. Information from top managers of 105 Hungarian and 124 Indonesian SMEs was collected using an online questionnaire. The data was analysed using statistical methods. This study is the first to rank SCM drivers in a quantitative study comparing SMEs in different supply chain environments. The findings reveal that from 22 driver factors both countries perceive the same top 10, however in a different ranking order. Improvement of customer satisfaction and information dissemination are the top two drivers, which are highly correlated.
Sterowniki zarządzania łańcuchem dostaw (SCM) są kluczowymi czynnikami udanego wdrożenia strategii SCM. MŚP dysponujące ograniczonymi zasobami muszą skoncentrować się na najważniejszych czynnikach napędzających, aby poprawić wydajność i konkurencyjność. W artykule zbadano, które czynniki napędowe mają największe znaczenie w opinii menedżerów najwyższego szczebla MŚP. Porównano dwa kraje rozwijające się, które mają różne środowiska łańcucha dostaw, głównie ze względu na ich strukturę geograficzną. Za pomocą kwestionariusza internetowego zebrano informacje od kierowników najwyższego szczebla 105 węgierskich i 124 indonezyjskich MŚP. Dane zostały przeanalizowane metodami statystycznymi. Niniejsze badanie jest pierwszym oceniającym czynniki SCM w badaniu ilościowym porównującym MŚP w różnych środowiskach łańcucha dostaw. Wyniki pokazują, że spośród 22 czynników napędzających oba kraje postrzegają tę samą pierwszą dziesiątkę, jednak w innym porządku rankingowym. Poprawa satysfakcji klientów i rozpowszechnianie informacji to dwa główne czynniki, które są silnie skorelowane.
