Opis:
Research background: The executives of SMEs that have higher innovativeness, risk taking, proactiveness, competitive aggressiveness and autonomy dynamize the strategic posture of SMEs, thus, those firms can reach better financial and economic conditions. However, existence of many differences among countries, such as cultural values and market conditions, can cause variations in EO of these executives. Therefore, this fact can be one of the reasons why the performance and financial power of SMEs differ in various countries.  Purpose of the article: This study aspires to find out the differences in entrepreneurial orientation (EO) of younger and older, female and male, and more and less educated executives of SMEs from various countries. Methods: 1141 Czech and 479 Turkish executives were analyzed separately by the Mann-Whitney U test, to find out the differences in EO. The researcher ran the analyzes by SPSS Statistical Software. Findings & Value added: The results indicate that risk-taking and competitive aggressiveness of the executives differ regarding their gender, while innovativeness, proactiveness and autonomy do not. While there are significant differences between proactiveness, autonomy and innovativeness of older and younger executives, no differences exist in risk-taking and competitive aggressiveness. Regarding educational status, more educated executives perform better in innovativeness, proactiveness and autonomy, while less educated executives have higher propensities in risk taking and competitive aggressiveness. Masculinity, fear of failure, perception of obstacles, motivation of SMEs' executives and location of businesses might be the reasons of these results. By including the survey respondents from different countries and all dimensions of EO into the analyses, this study finds similarities and differences in gender, age and education levels and of SMEs' executives and their EO. This research also suggests some policies for governments and institutions to close the gap between EO of the executives. These facts not only make this research to unique, but also constitute a valuable addition to the literature.

Opis:
One of the key factors of a competitive economy is creating a strong, internationally competitive SME sector. This essay is based on the fact that management tools used in the SME sector are insufficient. With the development of these tools, the competitiveness of companies could improve. According to the literature, using lean thinking has a positive influence on the company’s effectiveness, and also proved that lean approach can be successfully extended out of the car industry, into the limitedly resourced SME sector, too. Even though the topic of lean manufacturing is analysed by many studies, there is a lack of papers dealing with its usage in the SME sector. The originality of this paper lies in analysing the current status of using lean manufacturing practices among the Hungarian SMEs operating in the manufacturing industry. The paper includes an examination about how deeply the elements of lean thinking are present in the Hungarian SME sector, how large the development reserves are, and whether there is a difference between the usage of lean practices. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. SMEs’ representatives, mostly CEOs and managers from the Hungarian manufacturing industry participated in the survey. The sample contained 128 observations. The study has two control variables, which are the size of the company and the relation to the lean management. The survey brought the following results. First of all, it shows that the level of using lean is low among the Hungarian SMEs. Furthermore, customer orientation is a key factor in the sector, however, there are considerable possibilities for progress by the inner processes and the handling and involvement of the suppliers. Firstly, a good basis to increase the effectiveness could be the creation of thinking in processes influencing the supply chain. Secondly, the development of the leadership and the involvement of the employees at some level are also significant. Key findings is that without state incitement and the involvement of outside experts, progress cannot be expected to spread on a broad scope. The background of the research method was created to fit the available literature and to capable to be used in other countries, too. Moreover, this way the available information can be expanded with a regional dimension, in case further studies are going to be made.

Opis:
The article discusses the problem of the relationship between the capital structure and the level of competitiveness of SMEs in Poland. The objective of the article is to determine the impact capital structure has on the level of competitiveness of SMEs in Poland. The capital structure of SMEs is dominated by internal funds. Among external sources of financing, bank loans and leasing are predominant. This structure is consistent with the relevant theoretical models. The study shows no significant differences in the financing of current operations, innovation, and competitiveness improvement. The lack of relationship indicates that the capital structure of SMEs has little impact on their competitiveness. The results of the study demonstrate that all external sources of financing improve the competitiveness of SMEs, but the strength of their impact is different. The strongest impact is shown for venture capital, guarantees, and leasing; the weakest – for bank loans and the issuance of shares and bonds. A significant factor is the degree of alignment of a particular financing source with the special needs of SMEs. This significant relationship is demonstrated for all the sources most commonly used by SMEs

Opis:
Research background: The differences in the legal structures, tax rates, and cultural-linguistic issues of various countries have always been a significant concern for SMEs in their exporting activities and internationalization processes. However, since firm-level characteristics might provide some advantages or disadvantages in their operations, their perceptions of export impediments might vary across size, age, and sector groups. Purpose of the article: This paper investigates the perceptions of export impediments by 408 larger-smaller, older-younger, and manufacturing-nonmanufacturing Czech, Slovakian and Hungarian SMEs in a country-based perspective. Methods: The researchers use the random sampling method to create research samples and employ an internet-mediated questionnaire to collect the research data. The researchers use both Independent Sample T-test and ANOVA analyses to find differences between size, age, and sector groups. Findings & value added: While the differences exist between the perceptions of Slovakian larger-smaller and manufacturing-nonmanufacturing SMEs regarding cultural differences, the perceptions of legal and tax-related export impediments by SMEs do not differ depending on their age, size, and sector. This paper contributes to the literature by confirming various perceptions of SMEs in different countries and different characteristics regarding export obstacles and providing an entity-specific and international scope that policymakers and SMEs can benefit from. Awareness of the policymakers regarding the results of this paper that includes differences and similarities in SMEs' perceptions of export barriers might make them have close interactions with SMEs to reduce SMEs' concerns regarding their export risks. On the other hand, SMEs that are aware of the results of this paper can be more interested in having a broader network that includes close relationships not only with intermediary firms, but also with governments to overcome the export impediments.

It is important not only to manage in itself, but above all to constantly improve processes and constantly strive for excellence. However, continuous improvement of the organization is one of the key principles of quality management, it states that improvement can be obtained from the analysis of existing processes or measurement results. In this paper the level of occupational health and safety in european enterprises providing transport and logistics services in terms of quality management principles. On the basis of the presented results it was found that in large enterprises safety management principles are respected, while in small and medium enterprises the level of safety does not look very promising. An interesting phenomenon was observed in the case of micro-enterprises (family businesses). Research shows that employees know and adhere to the safety principle, but they do not see too much change in improving the level of safety.

Opis:
The sector of SMEs plays a key role in the economic development in Poland. On the other hand they belong to the group of units that is characterized with the weakest position in the market. Practice and theory show that SMEs seek for the financial means for running their activities and for investments. The problem with the financing strongly appeared in the time of the financial and economic crisis, when SMEs and entrepreneurs have suffered a double shock: a drastic plummet in demand for goods and services and the tightening in credit terms, which were ruthlessly disturbing their cash flows.
Sektor MSP pełni kluczową rolę w rozwoju polskiej gospodarki. Jest on często postrzegany przez banki jako obiecujący i dochodowy, ale jednocześnie dość ryzykowny. Ryzyko to wynika najczęściej z dość krótkiej obecności tych firm na rynku oraz braku dobrej jakości zabezpieczeń spłaty kredytu. Analizując sytuację różnych grup podmiotów na rynku usług finansowych można powiedzieć, iż pozycja MSP jest raczej słaba. Wynika to z wielu czynników: gorszego dostępu do informacji, niższej ich jakości oraz niższego poziomu wiedzy merytorycznej w zakresie świadczonych usług finansowych. Jednym z wielu problemów, z którymi borykają się te przedsiębiorstwa jest utrudniony dostęp do zewnętrznych źródeł finansowania. Są one niezbędne do prowadzenia bieżącej działalności, jak również umożliwiają ich dalszy rozwój. Problem ten pogłębił od 2008 roku globalny kryzys gospodarczy i finansowy, a zwłaszcza brak zaufania m.in. pomiędzy instytucjami finansowymi i podmiotami gospodarczymi. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie wpływu globalnego kryzysu na relacje pomiędzy bankami a MSP.

Stimulating innovation is one of the pressing policy challenges facing many countries in the world today. The paper analyses the external factors that Polish entrepreneurs find most detrimental to their innovative activity. A sample of 199 small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) in Poland were subjected to a survey. The data collected revealed the innovation types of SMEs in Poland and external financial factors influencing innovation the most. The results show external factors such as legal regulations, access to external financing, bureaucracy of institutions, financial government support, the tax system, time necessary to comply with regulations, and crisis and instability are very important for SMEs. According to the results, process and marketing innovations are applied more frequently than product and organisational innovations. Finally, the results indicate that entrepreneurs indicate that lack of government support and weakness of tax incentives is an important barrier to the innovation process.

Aim/purpose – We want to provide recommendations to bridge the gap in access to financing of the entrepreneurial sector in Ukraine based on the analysis of European experience, EBF approaches, financial funds for SMEs and the current state of the credit market in Ukraine. Design/methodology/approach – We used the general scientific methods of knowledge, conceptual tenets of the theory of market economy, abstract logical analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, historical (to determine the nature and causes of bank investment in SMEs, refine categories and terms); formalization, systems analysis (to determine factors of investment banking, institutional and legal environment); statistical, retrospective analysis. The results of surveys conducted by the EBF on the issues of support and development of SMEs are used, own research of 120 Ukrainian SMEs, which was conducted during the period from January to July 2016. The nature of the research questions was reinforced by the decision to survey only SMEs. Independent reporting (from entrepreneurs or CEOs) was used to account for both business activity and the external sources of information. Findings – Policy initiatives should primarily be developed at the national level in the field of lending to SMEs based on the European experience and Ukrainian realities; it is necessary to develop an understanding of the need for access to certain types of information; SMEs are the main providers and the most valuable source of credit information. Research implications/limitations – When using the methods of calculation creditworthiness perhaps to take into account the methods for assessing the quality of management, the image of the enterprise, ISO certificates. Originality/value/contribution – Based on the cross-country comparison of the EU and Ukraine, highlight the necessity of focusing on some legal unification of SME lending procedures for the development of a culture of sustainable entrepreneurship on the European continent.

The purpose of this paper is to study the standard firm-factor determinants on capital structure of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). To this end, we analyzed small and medium sized firms in Kazakhstan, where all sectors were considered. We use panel data methods to investigate the determinants of capital structure for non-financial SMEs in Kazakhstan. This study examines the impact of key determinants such as asset tangibility, size, growth, profitability and tax rate of SMEs. The trade-off theory and the pecking order theory of capital structure guided this study. The results suggest that despite some differences in the influence of factors on the capital structure, most of the determinants presented by the theory of finance appear indeed to be relevant for the Kazakhstan small and medium business sector.

The paper discusses the evolution of theoretical approaches towards the internationalisation process of firms, especially SMEs. It clarifies the definitions of a born global (BG) firm, presents its characteristics and the specifics of its internationalisation process. The objective of this paper is to present the internationalisation process of a born global firm from a theoretical perspective. The article starts with the presentation of the oldest approaches towards internationalisation and shows how ongoing changes in the global economic environment have influenced international behaviours of firms as well as changed the researchers’ perception of BGs and their internationalisation process. The article highlights the role of knowledge in BGs’ internationalisation. Due to the magnitude of literature on BGs and their internationalisation, this article does not cover all of them. The article ends with conclusions and points to further opportunities and directions of research. This article came into being within the research project OPUS entitled: Patterns of internationalization of high-tech small and medium-sized enterprises, (UMO-2013/11/B/HS4/02135) 2014-2017.

Implementing sustainable development goals defined by UNESCO encompasses diverse activities and spheres of contemporary life, including the issues of responsible production and consumption (goal 12). The fashion sector is often mentioned in this context and considered both ethically and environmen[1]tally problematic, especially taking into account clothing overproduction coupled with decreasing of its quality and offshoring to non -European countries. Fashion designers – owners of independent fashion brands based in specific local contexts – seem to be especially well prepared to implement in practice the idea of sustainable fashion often also referred to as responsible, ethical or slow fashion. The paper presents results of a qualitative exploratory research among Polish small, independent fashion firms. Analysing in -depth interviews with creative entrepreneurs based in different parts of Poland (Kraków, Łódź, Bytom, Warsaw, other cities and towns), the investigation considers issues such as: how do they understand the concept of sustainable fashion, how do they implement it in their entrepreneurial activities, what challenges and opportunities do they see in this respect, especially taking into account that their entrepreneurial activities situate them between the more symbolic -economy oriented creative sector and the more practically -oriented traditional garment and apparel sector?

While we are discussing the decade that preceded economic stabilisation and the turn in economic policy in 2010, the improvement of the financial and economic situation of Hungarian small and medium-sized enterprises and the enhancement of their competitiveness keep remaining a goal to be achieved. The problems that domestic micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises face for decades originate from factors that prevent their growth and set the track of their growth in the one and a half decades that have passed since the change in the regime. The long-term effect of chronical under-financing that also weakens corporate competitiveness appeared in all levels of corporate operations. Along with EU accession, challenges grew larger and competitive conditions became harder, which trend was further intensified with the onset of the financial and economic crisis in 2008. It became a key issue for domestic enterprises to have financial resources and borrowing possibilities at their disposal in sufficient quantity and quality and their possibilities for development and their track of growth were not hindered.

Opis:
The importance of internationalization for firm’s survival and growth seems to be consensual among the researchers on this topic. Innovation is also considered a key factor for firm’s development and competitiveness. Moreover, the relationship between innovation and internationalization has become a matter of increasingly interest in the literature and can be analysed according to two streams: innovation as cause or consequence of companies’ internationalization. Additionally, given the great importance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for the growth of economies, part of literature has paid special attention to this kind of enterprises. The purpose of this work is to verify the existence of a possible relationship between internationalization and innovation strategies among Portuguese firms by exploring whether Portuguese entrepreneurs consider innovation as an important factor or a motivation in the internationalization process. To achieve this goals, and based on data obtained from an online questionnaire survey, descriptive and inferential data analysis techniques are used. In particular, graphical representations, descriptive measures and also, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis (with multiple comparisons) non-parametric tests.
Znaczenie umiędzynarodowienia dla przetrwania i rozwoju firmy wydaje się być zgodne wśród badaczy zajmujących się tym tematem. Innowacyjność jest również uważana za kluczowy czynnik rozwoju i konkurencyjności firmy. Ponadto związek między innowacją a internacjonalizacją stał się przedmiotem coraz większego zainteresowania w literaturze i można go analizować według dwóch nurtów: innowacja jako przyczyna lub konsekwencja umiędzynarodowienia przedsiębiorstw. Dodatkowo, biorąc pod uwagę duże znaczenie małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw (MŚP) dla rozwoju gospodarek, w części literatury zwrócono szczególną uwagę na tego typu przedsiębiorstwa. Celem tej pracy jest zweryfikowanie istnienia możliwego związku między umiędzynarodowieniem a strategiami innowacji wśród portugalskich firm poprzez zbadanie, czy portugalscy przedsiębiorcy uważają innowacje za ważny czynnik lub motywację w procesie internacjonalizacji. Aby osiągnąć te cele, na podstawie danych uzyskanych z ankiety internetowej, stosuje się opisowe i inferencyjne techniki analizy danych. W szczególności reprezentacje graficzne, miary opisowe, a także testy nieparametryczne Manna-Whitneya i Kruskala-Wallisa (z wielokrotnymi porównaniami).

Opis:
Research background: The study responses to the internationalisation issue, one of the essential factors of SMEs growth. Particularly to companies' efforts towards setting international cooperation and circumstances obstructing these struggles. The study takes into consideration that internationalisation in specific areas of company's operations differs noticeably. Similarly, different barriers may arise depending on the areas of the company's value chain that are the focus of the enterprises' internationalisation strategies. Purpose of the article: This study aims to identify barriers to internationalisation regarding various areas of a company's value chain. The study employs the Value Chain Model by Porter. Methods: The field data was collected using a questionnaire survey on a sample of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) located in countries in the Baltic Sea region (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland). A multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the impact of barriers on internationalisation. Finding & value added: The study indicates three areas that are most often the subject of internationalisation in SMEs: operations, outbound logistics and marketing and sales. Barriers differ between value chain areas; however, cultural differences and competition are perceived as the most important hindering factors by companies experienced in internationalisation. At the same time, barriers regarding knowledge and finance diminish when companies becoming more experienced in internationalisation in particular value chain areas. This study is one of few employing the value chain framework to examine internationalisation.

Research background: Innovation is a very important pillar within a knowledge-based economy, in the regional and local perspective as well. A literature review on innovation and SME innovation strategies to their correlation and the possibility of their joint examination. Purpose of the article: The aim of this paper is to explore the SME?s innovation strategies and their impact on effectiveness of innovation in a peripheral region. We investigate the effects of innovation activities not only among small and medium, but also micro firms which are not covered in official innovation surveys by the national statistical offices. We proposed a model of implementing innovation, and tested our hypotheses. Methods: Research was based on data drawn from CATIs carried out among 419 firms, therefore making a conceptual contribution to the knowledge on innovation strategy. The main statistical test for relationships and dependencies was the chi-square independence test. To arbitrate whether there were statistically significant differences between medians due to different factors among enterprises, analysis for variance (H Kruskal-Wallis? test for k independent samples) procedure was implemented. Findings & Value added: The results of our research show that among SMEs in peripheral regions dominated those which we call ?pragmatists? and ?imitators? in context of their approach towards innovation. The significance of objective factors showed that there was a lack of enterprises that could play the role of ?creators of innovation? in the peripheral region. However, the examined firms more often noticed positive than negative aspects of introduced innovations, which is determined by the scale of enterprise; they were focused mainly on the consequences of innovation for their products and services.

Opis:
Artykuł poświęcony jest nadprzewodnikowemu zasobnikowi energii na przykładzie modelu fizycznego zasobnika zbudowanego w Pracowni Technologii Nadprzewodnikowych Instytutu Elektrotechniki. Rozważany problem dotyczy wyboru konfiguracji uzwojenia nadprzewodnikowego, która może zapewnić wymaganą wartość energii zasobnika przy ograniczonej przestrzeni pola magnetycznego. Przeanalizowano konfiguracje uzwojeń w układzie solenoidalnym i toroidalnym. Zaproponowano metodę ekranowania pola magnetycznego badanego elektromagnesu za pomocą elementów ferromagnetycznych w kilku konfiguracjach. Przedstawiono rezultaty obliczeń metodą elementów skończonych rozkładu pola magnetycznego i gromadzonej energii w uzwojeniu dla rozpatrywanych konfiguracji ekranujących w modelu numerycznym zbudowanym w programie Flux-3D. Wykazano, że dla badanego modelu nadprzewodnikowego zasobnika o energii 34 kJ w temperaturze 13 K, możliwe jest zastosowanie konfiguracji elementów ekranujących pole magnetyczne, która pozwoli na ograniczenie strefy pola magnetycznego o natężeniu przekraczającym wartości dopuszczalne oraz zwiększenie energii zasobnika o 14%.
The article describes a physical model of Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage System (SMES) built in the Laboratory of Superconducting Technology in the Electrotechnical Institute. The considered problem concerns the choice of the superconducting winding configuration, which can be responsible for the required energy value in a limited space of the strong magnetic field. Possible configurations of the windings were analysed with particular focus on the solenoid and the toroidal configuration. The results of the calculations of the magnetic field distribution and the energy accumulated in the coil for the considered shield configuration have been described. It was shown that for the tested SMES model with energy of 34 kJ at temperature 13 K, it is possible to use such magnetic field shielding configuration, which allows to limit the magnetic field zone with an intensity exceeding the limit values and energy increase by 14%.

Introduction/background: The development of the small and medium enterprises sector is extremely important for economy from the point of view of many, very diverse criteria. Employment increase, market expansion, active involvement in internationalization processes and product portfolio expansion require many qualitative changes such as improvement of the management system, implementation of innovations, raising funds for investments, overcoming paradoxes and management shortcomings. Politics and public support instruments play an increasingly active role in those processes. Such public aid may include, for example, dedicated EU funds, support for business environment institutions as well as direct and indirect public influence exerted from the central, regional and district level. Aim of the paper: The purpose of this paper is to present an outline of the approach to contemporary entrepreneurship of small companies and the related development requirements which SMEs sector entities need to face as well as to draw out the research approach adopted by the author for evaluation of the public aid provided to entrepreneurs. Materials and methods: The research instruments have been independently developed by this paper’s author. They are the effect of pilot surveys held by the author with small and medium entrepreneurs and representatives of entrepreneurs’ self-government in which they indicated their feelings about and reflections on the opportunities for obtaining public support. The author has based his work also on the evaluation reports on the use of EU Structural Funds in the years 2007-2014. Results and conclusions: The system of research proposed by the author of the paper creates a space for becoming familiar with how entrepreneurs and administrators of aid funds evaluate potential changes which may result in corrections, as part of public support after 2020, that is during the period of the new perspective of financing with EU funds and during the greatest economic crisis after World War II caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Opis:
Wdrażanie innowacji w sektorze mikro, małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw nabiera ogólnego znaczenia. Każde przedsiębiorstwo narażone jest na ryzyko, co wynika z ciągłej zmienności otoczenia, w którym prowadzona jest działalność biznesowa. W dobie globalizacji konkurencyjność gospodarki jest zdeterminowana jej innowacyjnością rozumianą jako zdolność i motywacja przedsiębiorstwa do poszukiwania nowych koncepcji, pomysłów i wynalazków oraz wykorzystywania ich w praktyce1. Innowacje są specyficznymi narzędziami przedsiębiorczości, działaniami, które nadają zasobom nowe możliwości ekonomiczne. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie danych na temat stanu sektora małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw (MSP) w Polsce oraz analiza ich potencjału innowacyjności. Analiza danych Eurostat, GUS, PARP pokazuje, że działalność innowacyjna nie jest domeną sektora MSP, ale widoczna jest znaczna poprawa w tym zakresie. W Polsce formuje się grupa innowacyjnych firm, która systematycznie zwiększa nakłady na działalność innowacyjną. Występuje również wzrost współpracy firm między sobą, rozwój sektora usługowego, lepsza świadomość znaczenia innowacji, wzrost prywatnych wydatków na badania i rozwój. Wciąż istnieje jednak obawa, że pomimo zmian nie są one wystarczające dla utrzymania wzrostu gospodarczego.
The issue of improving the competitiveness in the sector of micro, small and medium- -sized enterprises by implementing innovation becomes general meaning. The purpose of this article is to present data on the state of small and medium-sized enterprises in Poland and analysis of their potential for innovation. Analysis of data from Eurostat, GUS, PARP shows that innovative activity is not the domain of the SME sector, but seen significant improvements in this area. In Poland it formed a group of innovative companies, which constantly increases expenditures on innovation. There is also a growth business co-operation between them, the development of the services sector, a better awareness of the importance of innovation, the growth of private spending on research and development. However, there is concern that despite the changes they are not sufficient to sustain economic growth.
