The paper considers the formation of entrepreneurial climate in the conditions of social and economic development of the region. At present, one of the priority directions of social and economic policy of the region is the development of small businesses. In turn, the entrepreneurial or business climate acts as a paramount component of small business development. The study of the current state of entrepreneurial climate in the region makes it possible to define current problems of its development and ways to solve them.

For successful formation of entrepreneurial climate in the sphere of small business as a factor of social and economic development in the region it is critical to use such methods as monitoring, ranking, public-private partnership, business partnership, social support, multilevel training, multi-purpose competition, social selection, social cooperation in order to ensure interaction of small enterprises based on the principles of mutual aid, transparency and autonomy.

Others suggest more, not less, government intervention in support of sustainable social and economic development. Key domains for further exploration include the premises on which social enterprises and social entrepreneurship are built. In addition, more contextual understanding is needed, as well as a balancing of social and economic development for human well-being.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to identify essential resources that entrepreneurs need; to determine which resources and services are available at public libraries in two Florida counties; and to suggest additional ways for public libraries to increase their value and visibility among the business community. Design/methodology/approach – Information was gathered using structured and open-ended questions, using the Qualtrics survey technology provider, to obtain both quantitative and qualitative responses. Library administrators were contacted to identify relevant library staff to participate in the survey. Pasco County Library System administrators agreed to distribute the survey to their staff. Hillsborough County Public Library Cooperative administrators provided email addresses of staff selected to participate. Web sites of the libraries, their counties, and their partners were also examined for additional information. Findings – The results suggest that the libraries are able to satisfy most of the requests of entrepreneurs. One exception was consulting, which was not consistently available, according to respondents, but could be offered at the library by business service organizations. Suggestions for promoting library business resources were proposed, based on survey responses and the websites of the libraries, their counties, and their business service organization partners. Research limitations/implications – This research studied key public librarians and staff employed at Pasco and Hillsborough counties in Florida. Some of the resources identified as useful for entrepreneurs in these counties may not be generalizable to communities outside the state of Florida, or outside the USA. Additionally, the survey did not explore what is not being done or what could be done if the libraries had more resources. Practical implications – This study provides information on the resources and services that public libraries provide entrepreneurs. It also offers suggestions for libraries to become more valuable and visible to their local business community. Social implications – As entrepreneurs and small businesses contribute substantially to economic development, public libraries that provide assistance to them help their communities prosper. Originality/value – This study is a collaboration between an academic reference librarian with a recent MBA degree, and an Entrepreneur Services Manager and Florida SBDC Center Director, who together provide a unique perspective and interpretive value toward promoting economic development.

В статье рассматриваются состояние и перспективные направления развития малого и среднего бизнеса в Республике Казахстан. Определены предпосылки развития в Казахстане малого и среднего предпринимательства. Проведен анализ динамики основных показателей малого и среднего бизнеса. Выявлена нерациональность отраслевой структуры малого и среднего предпринимательства. В результате системной работы руководства страны по улучшению бизнес-климата и развитию предпринимательства произошло улучшение позиций Казахстана в рейтинге DoingBusiness. Проведен анализ Программы «Дорожная карта бизнеса 2020», реализуемой в Казахстане в целях оказания содействия развитию предпринимательства. Данная Программа предусматривает оказание государственной поддержки хозяйствующим субъектам малого и среднего бизнеса по следующим направлениям: поддержка новых бизнес-инициатив; отраслевая поддержка предпринимателей; снижение валютных рисков; нефинансовые меры. К недостаткам самой Программы «Дорожная карта бизнеса 2020» и практики ее реализации можно отнести ограниченность контингента обучаемых предпринимателей и низкий уровень поддержки потребителями отечественных производителей. В результате анализа текущего состояния малого и среднего предпринимательства были определены следующие перспективные направления его развития: повышение компетентности; увеличение доли казахстанского содержания в закупках; кооперация в сфере малого предпринимательства; диалог государства и бизнес-сообщества.

The analysis of the program "Business Roadmap 2020", implemented in Kazakhstan in order to promote the development of entrepreneurship. This Program provides state support to small and medium-sized businesses in the following areas: support for new business initiatives; industry support for entrepreneurs; reduction of currency risks; non-financial measures. The drawback of the "business Roadmap 2020" Program itself and its implementation practices can be attributed to the limited number of trained entrepreneurs and the low level of consumer support for domestic manufacturers. As a result of the analysis of the current state of small and medium-sized businesses, the following promising areas of its development were identified: increasing competence; increasing the share of Kazakhstani content in procurement; cooperation in the field of small business; dialogue between the state and the business community.

The need to support and develop small business, as one of the pillars of the successful economic development of the state, has been talked about, written about, and held at various levels for quite a long time in Russia. A striking example of such a small business is individual entrepreneurs engaged in woodworking. These enterprises have their own characteristic features of work, which consist in the fact that the equipment and tools of the main production, basically, belong to the cheapest segment, quite often they are made independently. Production areas are rented in small premises of large industrial enterprises that are in operation and have ceased production. Manufacturing focuses on a fairly narrow segment of consumers, as well as on the production of non-serial products (for individual orders). Small businesses in woodworking have never brought super-profits due to the rather tough competition. To analyze the current situation, a sample of typical representatives of small business in woodworking located in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region has been considered
