Abstract

The article analyzes SMEs and their importance at the world level and particularly in the EU, Russia, and Serbia. In the introductory part, there are discussed the basic definitions and different ways of classifying SMEs, the importance of classifying SMEs and dividing SMEs according to the purpose of their emergence and existence. The world SME sector section discusses the position and importance of SMEs in different areas, depending on the development level of the country in which they are established and in which they operate. As a separate group, a group of micro-enterprises, startups, was singled out. Chapter 3 discusses the impact of SMEs on EU employment, and the dynamics of SME development in the EU. Chapter 4 discusses the level of development, number and structure of SMEs in Russia and their impact on employment. Particularly prominent are the growth of the micro-enterprise number and the decline in the number of small- and medium-sized companies. With Serbia, the largest growth in the number of enterprises was observed in the group of small enterprises, and the smaller growth was in micro- and medium-sized enterprises. The smallest growth was recorded in the group of large enterprises as shown in chapter 5. The same chapter analyzed the number of business entities by size and the average number of employees per company in different branches of industry.

Abstract

The logic of buying is not completely understood nor summarized yet (Platz - Veres, 2014), as it involves numerous factors. The authors suppose that the ways consumer react to the external factors correlate with their impulsivity, so as with their quality of consciousness. This study focuses on the differences among young consumers. Based on a quantitative analysis of the consumer's position on the scale of impulsivity vs consciousness predicts differences, which can be partially forecasted based on their demographic attrib-utes such as gender and level of education.
The variability in the buying situation's outcomes, due to the consumer's position on the impulsivity - consciousness spectrum, reports a feedback on the applied marketing's efficiency.

Abstract

The essential role of entrepreneurship for economic growth and prosperity determines a sus-tained effort by researchers, practitioners and decision-makers in identifying, promoting and enhancing its effects on the economy and society. Through various means of support, by capitalizing on those determinants favorable to the entrepreneurial initiative, all these actions consider not only the quantitative increase of the number of entrepreneurs, but, in particular, a critical mass of successful entrepreneurs, able to stimulate and accelerate the development of a significant number of innovative, high growth projects, with a significant-pact on the market. In this paper, using the results of a survey applied to a considerable number of start-ups around the world made available by Entrepreneurship Database Program (EDP), we analyzed the association between the expected profit margin and the founder's age, and respectively, cumulative work experience. We found that expectations of reaching a certain profit margin are not strongly dependent on the age or work experience of start-up's founder, which leads us to conclude, in accordance to other studies in the field, that the aim of accelerated growth is not necessarily linked to the youth and limited experience of high growth-focused entrepreneurs.

Abstract

The settlement structure in the Slovak Republic is very fragmented, leading to a big number of municipalities, from which the majority are small municipalities with a low number of inhabitants. Regardless the size, each municipality in the Slovak Republic has the same competences and thus also the same duties to fulfil. Legislative framework in the field of eGovernment and provision of electronic Services gave an obli-gation to provide services by electronic means to all municipalities. Limited resources, especially in small municipalities, overall wide and complex set of duties and the need to manage modern methods and legislative obligations naturally lead to the use of online based solutions. The article is oriented on the analysis of the Municipality Data Center, as one of the major online based electronic solutions used by municipalities in the Slovak Republic for provision of municipal services within their original competences.

author

N. A. POLYAKOV, E. N. SAFONOV, S. A. KIRSANOV

abstract

The key tasks in the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation are the tasks of environmental support for the extraction, transportation and processing of minerals. In Russia, it is necessary to create conditions for the development of domestic developments in the field of protecting the natural environment of the Arctic. The authors propose a mechanism that stimulates a small innovative business in the field of environmentally friendly technologies. For this, in the city administrative centers of the Arctic regions, it is necessary to create support zones for the economic development of the territory, where an important place is given to innovative clusters of small enterprises. The main tasks of these enterprises will be the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. An important role here is played by a small innovative business that ensures environmental safety of development projects in cooperation with manufacturers of unique innovative equipment and leading design institutes of resource-extracting companies, leading players in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.

Abstract

Modern socio-technical systems call for a reconsideration of current notions and practices related to risk and safety management. Disruptive technologies have changed the way humans interact with each other or with technical artefacts, and the way they behave within organizations and societies. As a con-sequence, new approaches are needed to understand and explore the inherent complexity due to such inter-actions. The discipline of Resilience Engineering aims to deal with this aspect and make current and modern socio- technical systems - or even societies - able to sustain operations under expected, or unexpected, crit-icalities. This document summarize the main aspects of Resilience Engineering, and the potential for its ap-plicability in a wide range of systems.

Authors

H. GOOWALLA,
Dr., Associate Professor, Department of Commerce Mariani College Mariani, Jorhat. Assam. India

Abstract

Indian tea is among the finest in the world owing to strong geographical indications, heavy investments in tea processing units, continuous innovation, augmented product mix and strategic market ex-pansion. The main tea-growing regions are in Northeast India (including Assam) and in north Bengal (Darjee-ling district and the Dooars region). Tea is also grown on a large scale in the Nilgiris in south India. India is one of the world's largest consumers of tea, with about three-fourths of the country's total produce consumed locally.
Indian tea exports are facing uncertainty from two of its major markets in Iran and UK. The UK is flooded with cheaper grade tea from Kenya which is spoiling Indians chances there. Similarly India is facing a problem in the payment mechanism with Iran as the country with Iran as the country wants tea trade to be conducted in dollars instead of rupees. The study has to evaluate India's tea export trends and examines the underlying factors and to discuss the prospects of India's tea exports comparison is made with the other major exporting countries.

author

A. KORNOVSKY

abstract

The aim of this work is to analyze convergence and divergence, as well as an analysis of the economic development of the eastern regions of the Russian Federation using five main macroeconomic indicators: unemployment, GDP per capita, investment per capita, the number of innovative firms in the region per 1 million residents doing research and development, as well as average wages between 2000 and 2012. The regions of the Russian Federation are conditionally divided into Western (European part of Russia) and Eastern (Asian part of Russia). The work presents 27 eastern regions of the Russian Federation, statistics for the calculation are taken from the page of the Federal State Statistics Service Rosstat (). The main analysis method is a taxonomic indicator based on the Euclidean metric. The level of economic development of the Russian regions shows the specificity and nature of the Russian economy in the eastern regions. The studies performed allow us to conclude that a high level of economic development takes place in industrial and commercial regions, and a low level of economic development in agricultural ones. The work specified the level of macroeconomic indicators in the eastern regions of the Russian Federation (unemployment rate, GDP per capita, investment per capita, the number of innovative firms in the region per 1 million inhabitants and average wage1); the construction of a taxonomic indicator based on the Euclidean metric is presented; contains an analysis of the differentiation of development of the eastern regions of the Russian Federation based on taxonomic indicators and an analysis of the convergence and divergence of regional processes of the above regions. The final part presents the main findings of this study.
