Kajian ini menguji status penggunaan sistem perakaunan berkomputer (CBAS) di kalangan industri kecil dan sederhana di Wilayah Utara Semenanjung Malaysia. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa tahap penggunaan CBAS adalah melebihi sembilan puluh peratus. Walau bagaimanapun, CBAS yang digunapakai pada umumnya adalah di peringkat asas yang mana majoriti syarikat hanya menggunakan CBAS untuk tempoh enam tahun atau kurang. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa tempoh penggunaan CBAS berhubung langsung secara positif dengan kualiti keseluruhan CBAS. Hasil kajian juga mendapati hubungan di antara kematangan kepenggunaan CBAS dan usia sesebuah syarikat adalah berkait rapat pada arah positif. Walau bagaimanapun, dapatan kajian tidak menemui kesan positif usia dan saiz perniagaan dengan bentuk pemilikan ke atas pengunaan CBAS. Kata kunci: Penggunaan sistem perakaunan berkomputer, teknologi maklumat, industri kecil dan sederhana This study investigates the status of computer-based accounting systems (CBAS) adoption among small and medium manufacturing firms (SMEs) in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia. Results show that over ninety percent of the firms have adopted CBAS. The adoption of CBAS, however, is still at the beginning stage as majority of the firms only adopted CBAS in the last six years or less and the depth of the CBAS system adopted is behind that of industrialized countries. The results showed that years of adoption are positively correlated with the overall quality of the CBAS adopted. Further investigations on the relationships between CBAS use items and factors that were expected to affect CBAS use indicate that the maturity stage of CBAS adoption was significantly positively correlated with age of business. However, the results did not find evidence supporting previous research that argued age and size of the firms as well as the type of ownership influence the adoption of CBAS. Key words: Adoption of computerized accounting systems, information technology, small and medium enterprises

Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) represent more than 99% of enterprises in Europe. Therefore, knowledge about this sector, also in the spatial context is important to understand the patterns of economic and social development. The main goal of this article is an analysis of spatial conditions and the situation of MSMEs on a local level using combined sources of information. This includes data collected in the Social Insurance Institution and Tax registers in Poland, which provides information on the employment, wages, revenues and taxes paid by the MSMEs on a local level as well as contextual statistical information. The data is used for a diagnosis of spatial circumstances and discussion of conditions influencing the status of the MSMEs sector in a selected region (voivodeship) in Poland. Taxonomy methods including factor analysis and clustering methods based on k-means and SOM Kohonen were used for selecting significant information and grouping of the local units according to the situation of the MSMEs. There are eight factors revealed in principal component analysis and five clusters of local units distinguished using these factors. These include two clusters with a high share of rural local units and two clusters with a high share of rural-urban and urban local units. Additionally, there was an outstanding cluster with only two dominant urban local units. Factors show differences between clusters in the situation of MSMEs sector and infrastructure. Different spatial conditions in different regions influence the situation of MSMEs.

Although electrification rates have increased in developing countries, the poor quality of electricity still remains a challenge. This paper studies the effects of electrification at the intensive margin, using a fixed effects approach. I find that power outages significantly reduce employment, earnings, and hours of work. A key channel through which outages affect employment is decreased prevalence of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) among households. Evidence indicates that severe outages reduce opportunities for households to indulge in income generating activities. The decrease in employment opportunities is further exacerbated by reduced industrial growth and changes in the industrial composition. The results suggest that unreliable electricity may have a negative implication for job creation in developing countries.

The growth of cooperatives in Indonesia today is very fast, especially the growth of cooperatives in Bali. Based on data from the Department of Cooperatives, Micro, Small and Medium Bali Province the number of cooperatives in bali per June 30, 2016 as many as 4934, this is certainly a positive picture for the growth of cooperatives. The development of micro-credit activities undertaken cooperative is also growing very rapidly, but this is not matched by the quality of the performance of the cooperative itself. These conditions encourage the government oversight of credit unions and savings and loans by issuing a decision on guidelines for the rating of the cooperative based on Regulation Supervision Deputy Ministry of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises of the Republic of Indonesia Number 01 / Per / Dep.6 / IV / 2016. The process of calculating the cooperative health assessment has now been made but there is still a conventional manner using Microsoft Excel so that experienced problems in the calculation and delivery of information on the results. Supervision of the cooperative in question is difficult because the delay of information and the lack of technology used. Computerized system and geographic information system support can be used to assist in the process of assessment of the level of health and also facilitate cooperative Cooperative Agency in monitoring the cooperative in question.
