Many governments in developing countries are making efforts to support the development of micro- and small enterprises (MSEs), as they recognise their important role in employment creation and poverty reduction. However, millions of people who work in MSEs are paid low incomes, have little or no social protection and are exposed to dangerous working conditions. This paradox stems from a policy and regulatory environment that should help the development of MSEs and improve the quality of jobs provided by them, but in practice often establishes biases and stifles growth. Based on studies carried out in Chile, Guinea, Pakistan, Peru, South Africa, Tanzania and Vietnam, this book looks beyond MSE promotion initiatives to analyse the overall policy and regulatory environment. It examines the impact of national business laws and taxation, labour regulations, trade and finance policies; identifies common problems and presents major principles for reform. More than simply helping to create more jobs, this approach aims to help to create more jobs of better quality.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including start-ups and microenterprises, have emerged as an engine of growth for most of the countries in Asia and the Pacific. Their contributions are well-known; they increase production and exports, generate employment and facilitate income growth amongst the population. SMEs serve as a seedbed for enterprise development. Each country has evolved its own policies, institutional framework and support mechanisms for SMEs according to its needs, stage of economic development and culture. The experience of each one of them is unique. Developing a policy guidebook for SME development in the developing countries of the Asia-Pacific region has been a daunting task, when the variety of experiences and the varied policies and programmes of each country are taken into consideration. This book documents specific policy guidelines based on various countries' strategies, their best practices and their applicability in the context of development of SMEs in Asia and the Pacific in addition to the vast experience and expertise of the contributors, researchers and authors of the publication. Many countries as well as various multilateral and bilateral development agencies have implemented a variety of interventions in Asia and the Pacific in line with their SME development strategies, typically in the following key areas: (a) Business environment, including policy and regulatory framework and infrastructure development; (b) Entrepreneurship; (c) Financing; (d) Business development services; (e) Innovation and technology; and (f) Market access. Their interventions typically use several modalities to address the key issues, including policy advocacy, institutional capacity building, human resource development and direct support to enterprises. This comprehensive review of the SME policies and programmes in Asia and the Pacific demonstrates that the nations of the region appreciate the importance of SME development. The SME sector in many countries in the region suffers from numerous threats and challenges that necessitate a proactive approach from policymakers. National governments and various stakeholders in charge of policy planning would do well to recognize not only the threats and challenges, but also the changing needs of SMEs. In this regard, the following useful guidelines are identified for effective policymaking: (a) The reduction of entry barriers (and thus costs) for new businesses; (b) The importance of cash flow to SMEs -- the major reason most new and small businesses fail is not a lack of profits but a lack of cash; (c) The strengthening of entrepreneurship through training and education; and (d) The strengthening of networking and information dissemination, given the fact that a lack of networks and information hinders effective deployment of technology and business development services as well as collaboration with other firms. This publication should provide the basis for deliberations on policy formulation for SME development in Asia and the Pacific, developing and refining the institutional framework based on intercountry experiences. Implementation of policy options and their appropriate selection, based on key factors, is highlighted. The book may also serve as a training manual for entrepreneurs, educators and business associations, such as chambers of commerce and industry, for building up the capacity of SMEs.

The Report of the Committee of Inquiry on Small Firms (the Bolton Committee Report) was produced at a time of significant political change. The 1970s in the UK saw the beginning of the end for interventionism and ‘big government’ and the emergence of a new free market, economic liberalism. However, the same period also saw the creation of what became a substantial agenda to intervene in the economy through an extensive range of government initiatives aimed at encouraging and enabling small firms and entrepreneurship. Marking the 50th Anniversary of the publication of the Bolton Committee’s report this book provides researchers with new insights into the tensions between these potentially contradictory political agendas that would come to shape our modern economy. It provides the first in-depth analysis of the origins, operation and outcomes of the Bolton Committee, which is widely seen as responsible for the small firm agenda in the UK. In doing so, new insights are generated not only into the birth of enterprise policy in the UK but into the wider changes in political economy that saw powerful tensions between free market rhetoric and new forms of interventionism in practice. The book will be of interest to scholars and PhD students working in the fields of entrepreneurship, small business management and business history.

Ghana is often cited as an African country that has undertaken major macroeconomic reforms with generally positive results for economic growth. Within Ghana's industrial sector, the effects of structural adjustment policies have differed among subsectors and firms. Little is known, however, about the impact of adjustment on smaller firms. A survey of small-scale enterprises (SSEs) was carried out in November 1989 to learn more about the impact of the adjustment program on their operations, to evaluate their potential contribution to dynamic industrial recovery, and to identify appropriate measures that would accelerate the growth of SSEs in numbers, size and productivity. Specific objectives of the survey were to : 1) learn more about the characteristics of small firms and their owners; 2) analyze how policy changes have affected small firms, highlighting entrepreneurs' strategies for adapting to their new environments; and 3) identify constraints to the future growth of small firms. Results show that adjustment policies have forced the SSEs to become more competitive to survive and that significant structural changes are taking place across subsectors and within firms. The overall business environment has generally improved during the adjustment program, although shortcomings remain. Uncertainty about political and economic stability and lack of finance appear to be the most immediate restraints on investment.
