“…Compared to other transitional economies, the percentage contribution of SMEs to GDP is considerably lower in Russia than in Poland and Hungary, for example. This is attributed in the literature to factors related to the business environment such as legislation, bureaucracy, corruption, and a lack of financing (Wieneke and Gries 2011).…”

This paper focuses on the survival competences that enable small and medium enterprise (SME) managers to conduct business in change situations. Russian SMEs, which have undergone several drastic changes in operational environment in recent decades, comprise the subjects of the qualitative study. Their recent World Trade Organization (WTO) membership is challenging in terms of business continuity and competence. The results of the study show that both internal competences and network competences are needed in order to survive in crisis situations. Entrepreneurial competences acquired by everybody in the firm, an open-minded attitude towards external partners, and networking competences provide a future direction for managerial practice and public actors.

“…Entre las causas podemos destacar las regulaciones complicadas (Wang & You, 2012), el empresario (Ufere et al 2012) y la pobreza (Dela Rama, 2012). Y como consecuencias, los diferentes autores establecen la pobreza (Alesina & Angeletos, 2005), el incremento de los costes de puesta en marcha de las PYMES (Wieneke & Gries, 2011), y la aparición de economía informal (Nguyen & Verreynne, 2014), entre otras.…”

La dificultad de iniciar un negocio, con relación a los trámites administrativos, ha despertado el interés de los investigadores de diferentes ámbitos científicos. Pero además, añadido al problema de la burocracia administrativa, nos encontramos que la actividad emprendedora se ve influenciada por instituciones informales como la corrupción, que se hacen visibles en el proceso emprendedor. El presente trabajo de investigación analiza la evolución científica con relación a la influencia de la corrupción y la regulación en la actividad emprendedora en función del crecimiento económico, bajo el enfoque de la Teoría Económica Institucional. A través del análisis de los trabajos publicados, el porcentaje de los mismos en el campo de investigación y el índice de citación de los mismos, nuestras primeras conclusiones nos llevan a pensar que en los últimos años existe un especial interés en la influencia de la corrupción y la regulación en la actividad emprendedora.

“…Increased regulatory quality and increased contract enforcement reduce the likelihood of applying for a loan. Both Vitols (1998), Wieneke and Gries (2011) stress the importance of regulatory quality (albeit mainly in the financial sector) as a context for firm credit. In a developing county setting Chakravarty and Xiang (2012) find little impact from regulatory or institutional quality variables on discouragement.…”

What Determines the Decision to Apply for Credit? Evidence for Eurozone SMEs

2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study examines the decision by firm owners to apply, or not, for intermediated debt. Based on a sample of SMEs in 9 European countries over the period 2009-2012, we examine firm characteristics, institutional and cultural factors, along with time, industry and year variables. We focus our analyses in two distinct groups of firms, those that applied for debt and firms that did not apply for fear of rejection. We find evidence that firm age, size and existing debt capacity matter, as do bank and liquidity conditions. We provide evidence for the first time that national culture correlates to the decisions to apply or not for credit. Policy implications of these findings are discussed.
