Small business in Ukraine: gender analysis
Ekon. prognozuvannâ 2005; 2:123-135 | |
ABSTRACT ▼
Based on the results of a survey of entrepreneurs in Ukraine a gender analysis of the state and functioning of small enterprises is carried out. The evaluations of entrepreneurs of external conditions and main obstacles to start-up and development of small enterprises are generalized. The authors conclude that female entrepreneurs are similar to male entrepreneurs in terms of demographic characteristics and perceptions of external obstacles to business, but are different with regard to availability of resources to start business, level of investment and performance.

Performance of innovation activity of small enterprises in the collaboration with large business
Ekon. prognozuvannâ 2014; 2:94-104 | |
ABSTRACT ▼
The paper is devoted to analysis of the impact of two factors on economic efficiency of small enterprises. The first one is their innovative activities and the second one is their cooperation with large enterprises. The research was done based on data collected by authors during a survey of small enterprises' managers in Chernihiv region. The methodology of the research is based on the analysis of variance techniques of the received data. To perform it, all data were put on ordinal ranking scale and were analyzed using T-test and One-way ANOVA methods. The results of the analysis confirmed the idea that innovation and economic efficiency are interconnected issues. Moreover, the strongest impact on the income of small enterprises is made by technological innovation (e.g. new products, use of new materials and new technologies) rather than organizational improvements. Also, it was proved that cooperation between small and large enterprises positively influences the innovation and economic performance of small companies, in particular in case of production cooperation as well as permanent interaction between them.
