“…The loss of SME as a sponsor or patron due to a crisis has a substantial impact on existing social structures. Following this, Henderson and Weiler (2010) state that SMEs could be characterised as the most important catalyst for the economic growth. In the European Union and the USA, 99 % of all companies are in the SME segment (Bhaird, 2010).…”

Whether or not an entrepreneur develops the enterprise successfully and increases competitiveness depends on many factors. All businesses, however, are inherently connected with the business environment which significantly influences their performance. In this regard, the state is among the most important factors. It also performs many other roles through which it may be either helpful or harmful in the eyes of a business owner, e.g. it determines the legislative framework of entrepreneurship, sets conditions for starting a business and regulates competition. The way the role of the state is perceived by small and medium-sized enterprises was researched in 2015 as a part of a project at Tomas Bata University in Zlín. The research analysed data from 1,141 respondents from all regions of the Czech Republic and included, among others, the question of the state's role in the business environment. The presented paper covers three selected areas of the state's influence on the business environment: creating favourable conditions for the business environment, governmental financial support of entrepreneurs, and administrative burden on entrepreneurs. These areas were also examined with the emphasis on the analysis of differences between the perception of entrepreneurs from different industries and entrepreneurs with different sizes of their businesses. It was revealed that entrepreneurs were very critical to the state's role in the business environment; in particular, 60% of respondents disagree with the fact that the state creates favourable conditions for business in the Czech Republic. It was proved that the line of business of enterprises correlates with perception of the state's role within the business environment. The research into perception of a governmental financial support was proved to be dependent on a company size which may signal the support of certain company sizes and influencing their competitiveness.

“…Focusing on the links between knowledge and innovation, Vaz and Nijkamp (2009) develop a "knowledge circuit model" that takes into account all the pertinent stakeholders and then offers a framework for research in applied policy problems. Finally, Henderson and Weiler (2010) first sketch the salient relationships between entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic growth and then they empirically assess the relationship between entrepreneurship and job growth across United States labor market areas and counties.…”

We provide the first theoretical analysis of a one sector, discrete time, Schumpeterian model of growth in a regional economy in which consumers are risk neutral, there is no population growth, monopolistic entrepreneurs produce intermediate goods, and a single consumption good is produced competitively. Our analysis generates several new results. In the deterministic model, R&D in time surely leads to an innovation in timeIn this setting, we show that relative to the balanced growth path (BGP) equilibrium, the social planner always allocates more labor to R&D and hence achieves a larger size of innovation and a higher growth rate. Next, in the stochastic model, R&D in time probabilistically leads to an innovation in time In this setting, we first define the equilibrium and the steady state BGP allocations. Second, we generalize the notion of the steady state and determine the number of unemployed workers. Third, we show that our regional economy experiences bursts of unemployment followed by periods of full employment. Finally, we show that a decline in the time discount rate increases the average growth rate and the average unemployment.
