This study aimed to highlight the challenges and difficulties that face small business enterprises in inhibiting Etiopia. The author wants to reveal the impact of consecutive crises and conflicts on small businesses. To achieve this goal, a case study research in combination with a detailed review of the literature was done; the study population was 50 small business owners selected randomly from many small business owners. From the findings it was possible to summarize that the political environment has a significant and positive impact on small business success and the study also revealed that the war caused colossal material damage in the region, which has a total birr value of 288 billion. In addition, the most critical problems facing small businesses in Ethiopia's Amhara region are the difficulty of getting funds, poor infrastructure, corruption, difficulties in securing raw materials, lack of skilled employees, peace and security issues, challenges in getting licensing, and the absence of specific small business authority. Even though the political crisis is country wide and affects the business sector in the whole nation, the study is limited to Amhara region only due to certain constraints such as financial problems and time. In this regard, the findings of the study can be used to find a way to support small businesses to revive again. This study presents the effect of the current continuous war on small businesses in Ethiopia and will provide the basis for future researchers in this regard.

“…After disentangling a spectrum of extant literature regarding entrepreneurship growth through a VC funding model, we discover that a growing body of evidence offers mixed conclusions (Figure 3). As seen in Figure 3, 44% of the reviewed articles largely focused exclusively on entrepreneurship and SME development (e.g., Abubaker, 2015; Kloepfer & Castrogiovanni, 2018;Möller & McCaffrey, 2021;Cruz Rincon et al, 2022;Endris & Kassegn, 2022) , this was followed by 21% of articles published exclusively about venture capital (e.g., Keuschnigg and Soren, 2004;Messica & Agmon, 2008;Iriyama et al, 2010;Groh & Liechtenstein, 2011;Portmann & Mlambo, 2013) while 18% studied VC and firm-level performance (Ajagbe & Ismail, 2014;Lechner et al, 2016;Kato & Germinah, 2022;Sriyono et al, 2021;Dai et al, 2022;(Kato & Germinah, 2022). Many of these studies are often narrowed to firm-level performance of entrepreneurship efforts, declining to describe the interaction between entrepreneurship and VC investment efforts Bruton et al, (2008).…”

Purpose: Several academics and practitioners have observed entrepreneurship development as a critical pillar for the prosperity of high-growth entrepreneurial ventures, new job opportunities, promotion of exports, and improvement of tax revenue across all countries. However, little is known about the role of VC in stimulating entrepreneurship development in Southern and East African regions. Design/methodology/approach: Therefore, we reviewed 121 articles in international accredited journals from 2001 to 2022 to provide insights into this field of study. Findings: Our results show that 90% of the reviewed articles were empirical, and 10% were theoretical. Furthermore, only 7% of the articles support the role of VC investment in entrepreneurship development. Colossal studies present beneficial results on this topic, but they are mainly from developed economies in Latin America and Europe, thus widening the literature gaps in Africa. Research limitations/implications: Whereas the VC industry has received growing attention from emerging economies lately, it is still divided and restricted to technology entrepreneurship sector. Practical implications: To the best of our understanding, this is the first multidisciplinary and integrative analysis that delivers a current thematic overview and insights into the explicit fields to create instincts for further empirical studies on the role of VC investment in entrepreneurship development in developing countries. Second, our literature analysis discloses significant literature gaps. Lastly, the authors improve the current literature by suggesting future research directions centred on an integration of exceeding Venture capital investors’ technological skills to foster entrepreneurship development.

“…Furthermore, according to Endris and Kassegn [8], MSMEs potentially impact achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Micro and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are essential for the economies of developing countries such as Indonesia, especially in terms of job creation, unemployment reduction, and GDP added value [9].…”

The socioeconomic characteristics of the community in the Bengawan Solo Hulu watershed allow the agribusiness MSMEs business process to occur in production and significantly impact aspects of socioeconomic life. The limited reliable sources of income will affect the community’s tendency to repressive actions. The purpose of the study is (1) to determine the sociodemographic conditions of agribusiness MSME households, (2) to determine the effect of the season on the achievement of agribusiness MSME output, and (3) to find out the solutions of Agribusiness MSMEs. The research method used was a survey on Agribusiness MSMEs by taking locations in 2 Sub-watershed, Alangunggahan Sub-Watershed (Eramoko District) and Keduang Sub-Watershed (Jatipurno District and Jatisrono District) with a total sample of 60 MSMEs. The analysis used is the input-output analysis and Econometric analysis. The results showed that the R2 value was 87.14%, the F test was significant at 95%, and all sociodemographic variables were significant except the age factor of Agribusiness MSME actors. There is a significant seasonal difference in the achievement of agribusiness MSME output. This phenomenon indicates that post-Covid, efforts have risen from the Covid 19, and seasonal differences are considered in decision-making efforts to increase output achievements in the Agribusiness MSME.
