Premalo razvojno usmerjenih podjetij: GEM Slovenija 2007

Insufficient Number to Development Oriented Businesses : GEM Slovenia 2007. Social, economic and cultural environment in a particular country has a significant impact on the number of individuals who establish a business. Apart from that, the individual's motivation, knowledge and skills required for entrepreneurship play a significant role. Besides the quantity, especially the quality of entrepreneurial activity is important. The analysis presented in this publication and the results of the research carried out around the world (in GEM countries and elsewhere) show that entrepreneurial policy must shift from 'general SME policy' to 'growth-oriented entrepreneurship policy' because the businesses which have the willingness and the objective capacity for growth and market expansion are rare. At the same time, they have requirements and needs which have to be dealt with quickly, flexibly and effectively. Among other things, 'growth-oriented entrepreneurship policy' must be both highly selective and proactive in the search of those entrepreneurs in the environment who have both motivation and objective capacities for growth.
