“…Furthermore, entrepreneurs in the CEE countries face limited access to financial resources, termed a ''finance gap'' (Storey, 1994). Entrepreneurs' inadequate access to financial resources constitutes one of the most significant barriers to development of new and small firms (Harding, 2002, Harrison and Mason, 1996, Mason and Harrison, 1995. There is growing evidence, in economies with perfect market conditions and developed financial intermediation systems, that significant finance gaps do not exist , Storey, 1994, Vos et al, 2005.…”

This paper investigates the factors driving informal investment in Croatia, Hungary and Slovenia. Using Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) data, we find that the low rates of informal investment activity and the small amounts of investments in these countries are driven by entrepreneurial behaviors consistent with limited market economy experience. We extend prior studies by investigating the role of business ownership, and identify significant differences between individuals with and without business ownership experience in terms of having start-up skills, knowing an entrepreneur and fearing failure. Cluster analysis identifies seven distinct groups of informal investors, and reveals the heterogeneity in terms of investors’ age, gender, level of education, amount of investment, start-up skills, ownership status, income, opportunity perception and country of residence.

“…L'établissement du droit de propriété, la création des incitatifs à l'effort et le partage efficace du risque défi-nissent les caractéristiques du contrat optimal (Reid, 1999). Harding (2002), dans une comparaison internationale, a montré que les écarts de financement sont mesurables par les conséquences de l'asymétrie d'information. Il souligne le rôle des politiques pour favoriser le développement du capital-risque comme moyen de financement des PME innovantes en pleine croissance.…”

La finance entrepreneuriale est un domaine de recherche qui se voulait émergent il y a près de trente ans et pour lequel certains chercheurs de renom ont proposé des agendas de recherche spécifiques et stimulants. Or le recensement de plusieurs centaines d’articles publiés révèle que les auteurs ont centré leur attention sur des questions de recherche traditionnelles, laissant souvent de côté les préconisations des experts qui recommandaient notamment d’inclure l’entrepreneur dans les travaux et d’emprunter à la littérature en entrepreneuriat des méthodes et théories pouvant aider à mieux comprendre les questions financières des PME. L’objet de cet article est de faire un survol des travaux réalisés au cours des quinze dernières années en regard des besoins de connaissances spécifiques permettant de favoriser la création et l’émancipation des PME, grâce, notamment, à un financement adéquat. À la vue de ce qui nous semble être un écart entre les connaissances disponibles et celles qui seraient souhaitables selon l’OCDE, et en nous situant dans un contexte de modification de l’environnement d’affaires mondial, nous proposons aux chercheurs intéressés à contribuer au domaine de la finance entrepreneuriale quelques pistes de recherche pour les travaux futurs.

᭹It is now politically and academically fashionable to investigate the needs and performance of the small business sector, but much of the research is still of variable quality. ᭹ This paper seeks to provide prescriptive ideas for implementing better management decision-making and business development using the approach of the value chain. It reflects research undertaken using focus groups, seeking to identify the constraints and determine factors influencing adoption and application.
