South Africa's informal economy absorbs approximately one-quarter of the labour force of 15 million people and is therefore the fastest growing sector of employment. Street-based trading constitutes a major subsector within the informal economy and is continuously expanding through unrelenting proliferation of survivalist micro-enterprises. However, few organisations that support enterprises are accessible or appropriate to survivalist and informal sector micro-enterprises. Interviews were conducted with 98 Pietermaritzburg street-based traders and ten KwaZulu-Natal service providers to determine service provision requirements. The results are compared with findings of four international studies. The findings suggest that for survivalist enterprises to benefit from entrepreneurial education and training services, obstacles with regard to South African traders' understanding of entrepreneurship and cultural limitations to enterprise growth should be overcome. Service institutions also require incentives to serve the informal sector, as well as the capacity to design and deliver appropriate services. 相似文献

This article addresses the development, management and needs of small, micro‐ and medium enterprises (SMMEs) in Johannesburg's Southern Metropolitan Local Council (SMLC), with particular focus on business development by previously disadvantaged South Africans. The article comprises an introductory section on the small‐business sector in South Africa and internationally, as well as the results of a field survey of a sample of 841 SMMEs in the SMLC. Many of the respondents were located in areas like Soweto, Orange Farm, Eldorado Park and Lenasia. Given the areas’ poverty and a history of neglect, the bulk of respondents were small, micro‐ or survivalist enterprises. In part, the survey confirmed some generally held notions about small businesses. Among these were funding difficulties, a strong desire for business‐related training and serious informational problems. The study revealed a shortage of management skills and poor record‐keeping. At the same time, some evidence emerged of business potential, including high survival rates and a determination to succeed. Key recommendations include training programmes in such areas as record‐keeping, marketing, customer relations, inventory control and tendering procedures. Mechanisms are also suggested for facilitating access to finance. 相似文献

基于对安徽省184家科技中小型企业家调查的数据,确定了科技中小型企业家成长的6个维度:个体特质、关系网络、成长环境、成长资源、创新合作和关系外拓能力,并以这六个因子作为解释变量,将企业家成长性作为被解释变量,进行多元回归分析,建立回归模型,进一步揭示了企业家成长机理.结果表明:在成长环境既定的情况下,企业家与高校科研机构的合作程度越高、获得的成长资源越丰富、具备的企业家个体特质越明显、与政府金融机构构建关系的能力越强,则企业家的成长性越强,反之则越弱. 相似文献

Small-scale commercial poultry enterprises are often promoted and used by the government and non-governmental organisations in development projects to generate income and to improve food self-sufficiency and alleviate malnutrition, as poultry is an excellent source of protein. This study shows that the majority of small-scale commercial poultry producers in KwaZulu-Natal come from previously disadvantaged communities and have significantly lower enterprise growth rates than larger poultry producers. The results of a block-recursive regression analysis of data gathered from a sample of 123 poultry farmers in the province indicate that enterprise growth rate is constrained by poor access to credit, high transaction costs and unreliable local markets. Government policies should focus on reducing transaction costs by improving education and physical infrastructure, sponsoring training and mentoring services for small-scale commercial poultry producers, and helping these emerging entrepreneurs to formalise the business institutions needed to manage co-owned resources and to market products collectively. 相似文献

商业模式是企业竞争的最高形态,在企业发展中的作用日益凸显。随着市场竞争的加剧及产业数量的增加,各产业间的协同显得尤其重要。产业融合视角的商业模式创新是建立一种超越产业边界的有效整合和配置价值链上经营资源的驱动机制,企业商业模式创新受到技术推动、需求变化、产业竞争、战略匹配、知识积累、企业家支持等来自企业内外部的六大因素的驱动。其结果是旧的产业内的商业模式被打破,通过一系列的分拆整合,更高层次的产业融合式的商业模式诞生。 相似文献

响应Jones和Coviello的以多个理论为基础、构建综合性研究模型的呼吁,文章在相关文献综述的基础上,首先对企业家因素和国际化行为进行了整体构造,然后结合中国企业国际化实际,以战略管理理论、资源基础和国际化理论为基础,构架了一个综合的企业家对中国企业国际化影响的概念框架。该框架的基本内容是:企业家特点和行为共同影响中国企业国际化行为;中国企业国际化行为影响企业国际化绩效;企业国际化绩效反过来又影响企业家特点和企业家行为。 相似文献

中国巨大的国有企业资源,需要动员各种有生力量来进行改制。经济转轨能否较快的完成,在很大程度上取决于是否存在足够的企业家人才,取决于这些企业家要素能否按一种合理方式与其它资源要素有机的结合起来。民营化中起决定作用的是识别企业家,这是其成功的关键。因此,我们需要把各种可能潜在的作为企业家的人力资源的能量发挥出来,使其成为转轨经济的重要推动力。单纯的依靠某一种力量往往是不够的或有局限的,成功的企业家天时、地利、人和,缺一不可。总之,要给来自于各种力量推动的民营化收购以一定的选择余地和发展空间,使各种各样的改制模式相互补充和相互竞争。 相似文献

Women are increasingly venturing into ownership of micro and small enterprises, either on their own or in partnership with male entrepreneurs. Using national survey data from Malawi, this study compares the performance of enterprises owned by females with those owned by males. The results show that the relationship between gender and business performance is complex. While there are no significant differences in profit margins, female-owned enterprises tend to grow more rapidly in terms of employment than male-owned ones. Gender-based regression results also show that while there are common factors that affect the performance of both kinds of enterprise, there are also differential effects in which education is a critical factor for the success of female-owned enterprises. 相似文献

创业是嵌入在社会结构中的经济活动,创业者社会认知如何影响其创业战略决策是研究者关注的焦点。本研究基于社会认同理论区分创业者达尔文主义、社群主义和传教士主义三种不同社会身份认知对新创企业战略决策的影响及作用机制。研究发现,达尔文主义身份认同感促进创业者为积累个人财富而选择不确定性较低的商业模式创新;社群主义身份认同感使创业者为提供真正造福社区的产品和服务而积极开展技术创新;而传教士主义身份认同感促进创业者开展一切提升社会价值的创新活动,包括技术创新与商业模式创新;且创新网络关系强度通过提供创新所需的资源与信息在上述关系中起正向调节作用。本研究借助社会认同理论,将创业者社会身份认同感进一步引入新创企业创新决策的驱动因素研究中,深化和拓展了创业者创新行为的理论分析框架。 相似文献

Public enterprise managers will tend to behave as entrepreneurs, strive for efficiency and achieve profitability if they and the government ministry responsible for their supervision have compatible profit objectives. The adoption of such objectives by both parties will help to shift state enterprises away from political influence and towards a strictly market orientation. In contrast, managers will behave as government representatives and adopt a bureaucratic style of management if the government imposes sociopolitical goals on state enterprises. Agency costs (costs incurred in the relationship between principal and agent) increase as the parties become less cost conscious, and inefficiency tends to be the result. Too great an emphasis on socio-political rather than commercial goals may leave a country facing the problem of a ‘high-cost’ economy. These tendencies are indicated in this study of three Indonesian state enterprises. 相似文献

This research compares the performance of female and male entrepreneurs in a microenterprise credit program in Guatemala. Previous research and field practice has suggested that targeting credit at female borrowers allows for greater increases in household welfare, but that male entrepreneurs may more aggressively expand enterprises when given access to credit. In this paper, we develop a model that shows that increases in value of home time during childbearing years for women may substantially account for gender differences in responses to credit access. Empirical results from Guatemalan survey data yield estimations consistent with the predictions from our model. 相似文献

民营企业是专业化发展还是多元化经营,一直困扰着民营企业家。文章认为,目前中国的民营企业正在分化为两大趋势:一部分企业坚守岗位,深化自己产业的深度、纵度、精细化;另一部分企业则开始朝着多元化趋势发展。应根据企业规模、企业在本产业的发展潜力等具体情况,决定发展模式。 相似文献
