“…Both groups had more than five observations, thus satisfying the minimum requirement to run Chi square analysis for reasons of statistical validity (Bors 2018). Following Bitzenis and Marangos (2008), the results were tested at 1, 5 and 10% levels of significance in order to reject or accept a hypothesis, based on the p value. Therefore, p values higher than 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 confirm the null hypothesis (Ho) of no association between the two variables at the respective level of significance.…”

The 2007 global economic crisis and public policies implemented to resolve it have modified the conditions under which enterprises operate, thus having great effects on business tactics and decisions. This paper employs a comparative analysis of the pre-and post-crisis movements of Greek smalland medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to Bulgaria in order to examine the impact of the crisis and the applied public policy on firm-internal relocation factors, such as size, sector and relocation incentive, and the effects of relocation on business performance. Greek SME movements to Bulgaria have recently increased considerably due to the adverse effects of the crisis on the Greek economy. Results demonstrate that, while in the pre-crisis period many Greek businesspeople viewed relocation to Bulgaria as an entrepreneurial opportunity for firm expansion, since 2007 relocation has been perceived as a necessity for the vast majority of Greek entrepreneurs in order to stay in business. However, evidence is provided for a clear division between businesspeople, managing strong, and medium-sized firms and seeking business growth and improved competitiveness, and entrepreneurs who own small, unproductive enterprises and who made efforts to maintain business without seeking quality improvement. Consequently, many of them failed to stay in business since they overlooked internal to firm changes.

“…Όσον αφορά τις επιδοτήσεις, πολύ σημαντική εμπειρική μελέτη είναι αυτή του Carlsson (1983) για το ρόλο των βιομηχανικών επιδοτήσεων στην Σουηδία, ενώ πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα είναι και αυτή των Dixit & Kyle (1985). Χαρακτηριστική είναι και η μελέτη του Majumdar (1988) Bitzenis and Marangos (2008) και Μπιτζένης (2009). Τέλος σε σχέση με το dumping χαρακτηριστικές είναι οι μελέτες των Krugman & Obstfeld (1994) αλλά και των Czako, Human & Miranda (2003).…”
