  • Entrepreneurship of SMEs in the framework of globalization
    Potočan, Vojko ; Mulej, Matjaž
    Currently, in Europe 98,9 percent of all enterprises are small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) employing 52 percent of all employees. This means that 1,1 percent of all enterprises employ 48 ... percent; among them the multinationals have the biggest and most global influence. But the biggest number of new jobs is provided by the micro enterprises which are employing 23 percent. In central and eastern European countries, SMEs are a rather recent feature, but in terms of numbers they are coming close to figures of most development countries of EU. How entrepreneurial are these new SMEs? How innovative are they, including undertaking appropriate development? This paper discusses two theses. (1) Improving SMEs' competitiveness by becoming sustainable enterprises to requisitely holistically meet requirements in social/business environments. (2) Improving business by helping SME's members understand/implement "sustainable-enterprise ethics". The future of SMEs depends very much on their innovating of individual/organizational values, culture, ethics, and norms.
