Nowadays a number of legal, economic and organizational problems related to the implementation of the role of the state in the effective regulation of business development in Ukraine have become relevant. The development of entrepreneurial activity is one of the main prerequisites for the formation and realization of the export potential of the state, its material enrichment and growth of living standards. In modern conditions there is a need for a detailed study of business activity in Ukraine. Using statistical data of the site ukrstat.gov.ua, the economic indicators of small industrial enterprises within the period of 2010-2019 have been analyzed in the article. They are the volume of goods manufactured by enterprises; the volume of goods sold by enterprises; financial results prior to taxation of enterprises; net profit of enterprises. During 2012-2019, the volume of goods sold increased, which has a positive trend and may indicate the development of small industrial enterprises. During 2010-2019 the volume of sold products also has a positive upward trend, due to the excess of the volume of sold products over those produced in 2019. This indicates an excess of demand over supply. Net profit for the entire period of 2010-2019, except for 2018, 2019 has a negative trend, as shown by its negative values, namely the losses of small businesses. The state of entrepreneurial activity in Ukraine is currently unsatisfactory. It is evidenced by the slow growth rate of the number of small enterprises, imperfect market infrastructure and competition, lack of working capital, lack of investment resources, etc. Further development of small business, increasing its competitiveness in both domestic and foreign markets, largely depends on a balanced and sound state policy. Today it is vital to include the development of small business in Ukraine in the overall strategy of economic growth and structural reconstruction of the national economy. To improve and stabilize business activities in Ukraine, the following measures are offered: to apply a flexible system of preferential taxation for medium and small businesses, depending not on the number of those working in them, but on the annual volume (sales) of products, services, works; to constantly reduce the tax burden on small and medium enterprises; to facilitate access of small and medium enterprises to financial resources; to change the microcredit system in the field of small business in Ukraine. The financial and loan system in Ukraine currently offers different conditions and rates for small business loans, which has a particularly negative impact on the work of entrepreneurs in the period of the economic crisis.

In Russian regions with the greatest support for small and medium-sized businesses, especially in Moscow, small businesses declined much stronger in the basic economic parameters during the crisis than in other regions. The reasons for this lie in unfavorable business climate and corruption. Therefore, the most important area to facilitate development is transformation of the environment of small and medium enterprises, rather than increasing the volumes of budget funds for their support.

Entrepreneurship plays an important role in the modern global economy; the share of products of small and medium enterprises in the gross product and exports not only of the developed but also of developing countries is growing. Innovation processes cover all sectors of the economy, and more and more people are involved in entrepreneurial activity, which contributes to the penetration of entrepreneurial thinking and business values in all areas of the socioeconomic life of society. The Institute of Entrepreneurship plays an increasingly prominent role in the institutional environment of socio-economic systems. This actualizes the problem of studying the relationship of the institution of entrepreneurship with the institutions of law, culture, management. This requires a methodology that allows you to explore the impact on the institute of entrepreneurship not only economic, but also non-economic factors. The methodology of the “old” institutionalism possesses such a tool, it is structural modeling (pattern modeling), which allows to explore the diversity of interrelationships of the institution of entrepreneurship with other components of the institutional and economic environment. The article explored the features of the development of the institution of entrepreneurship in Russia, established the relationship between the institution of entrepreneurship, values, motives and incentives for entrepreneurial activity, built a structural model of the institution of entrepreneurship based on the methodology of the old institutionalism (pattern modeling). The structural model of the institution of entrepreneurship reveals the relationship between the institution of entrepreneurship, the values of entrepreneurial activity, its motives and incentives; as well as the relationship between the institution of entrepreneurship with the institutions of governance, cultural and religious institutions, legal institutions and society.

Sustainable development is becoming a very important issue in the 21st century. Facing global changes such as the global warming, global climate change, as well as other pressing issue, all spheres of economy and social life need to take part in mitigating them and preventing disasters from happening. Our article studies the role of the small business in the above processes and the place of the small business in promoting sustainable development through its actions, public and social awareness and responsibility. We show how even small and medium enterprises can become a decisive power in tackling the climate change and promoting green thinking and sustainable awareness. This can be achieved through enhancing social responsibility of business companies which can greatly contribute to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and promoting sustainable economic growth.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to find out how the implementation of East Ogan Komering Ulu  (OKU) Regency Regulation Number 17 of 2015 regarding Technical Guidelines for Micro and Small Business Permits in three sub-districts in East OKU Regency and also to find out the factors that support and hinder the implementation of policies. The policy implementation is analyzed using three variables; the level of compliance, well-functioning routines, and the absence of problems, and the desired performance and impact of the policies implemented. The results showed that East OKU Regency Regulation No. 17 of 2015 concerning Technical Guidelines for Micro and Small Business Permits in three districts in East OKU Regency has not been implemented optimally. This is indicated by some costs that entrepreneurs must pay when they want to get a license, micro and small licensing processes that have been done in real time, reports on the implementation of micro and small licenses that have not been done by the district, and supervision from the Office of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises is not fully done. In line with that, the researchers found the factors that supported the successful implementation of the policy were efforts to take a license application from employers and the achievement of delivery time. While the factors that hinder the successful implementation of this policy are the unavailability of the budget, lack of infrastructure and working equipment, uneven network and internet connections, and lack of coordination. Therefore, improvements need to be made by meeting the resources needed, and also to maximize training and supervision of the implementation of micro and small licenses by the Office of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises.

Problem setting. Despite the ramifications of national legislation on entrepreneurship and real activity on a significant scale of small and medium-sized businesses, as well as a significant amount of research in this area, there are problems that reduce the effectiveness of business results and encourage improvement as a regulatory framework. and mechanisms of the national model of entrepreneurship. The ways to implement the principle of freedom of entrepreneurial activity in the system of innovation law remain unclear. The purpose of the article is to identify problems that reduce the efficiency of entrepreneurial activity and search for options to improve the existing regulatory framework in the field of innovation, as well as ways to implement in the national model of economic experience of advanced countries. Analysis of recent researches and publications. A comparative analysis of the results of research by scientists from Georgia (T. Anasashvili, D. Bridze, B. Bolkhvadze, I. Margalitadze), Belarus (E. Voronko, V. Panashchenko), Kazakhstan (S. Moroz) with the conclusions and suggestions of Ukrainian scientists: A. Brevnova, P. Bubenko, D. Zadykhailo and others is carried out. Article’s main body. In the context of the global economic crisis, the most effective ways out of it are two main directions. The first, global, is due to the unification of states into economic unions and the development of common mechanisms for economic development. And the second, local, is based on a detailed study of international best practices and its implementation in national models of innovative development. A systematic analysis of the national regulatory framework with the legislation on entrepreneurship of other countries gives grounds for concluding that it is formed on similar conceptual principles, in particular with regard to consolidating the principle of “freedom of enterprise”. The Doing Business survey periodically determines the ranking of countries in the world regarding freedom of enterprise. The assessment is based on the arithmetic mean of ten control indicators: the process of business registration, the mechanism of connection to energy supply, the process of property registration, credit system, existing tax mechanisms, the degree of investor protection and more. In connection with the unsatisfactory state of development of the economy of Ukraine, attention is focused on ensuring the activities of small business on these criteria in countries that are consistently ranked in international ranking research. In particular, Georgia, China, New Zealand, Singapore and others. Conclusions. The plans of the Ukrainian authorities to further harmonize the legislation in the field of small business with European standards, to carry out in-depth tax reform and to carry out manifestations of illegal pressure on business deserve support. In order to accelerate the process of improving the legal framework for entrepreneurship and effective mechanisms for innovation, the conclusions of international experts should be used more widely. The recommendations of international rating agencies on the need to adopt a realistic strategy for the development of small and medium-sized businesses (entrepreneurship), improve the regulatory framework in the field of lending to small and medium enterprises and improve their access to existing forms of financing, development of entrepreneurship and real action should be implemented. the principle of freedom of its conduct in the field of innovation.

Drawing on institutional theory and using a methodology adapted from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), early stage entrepreneurial activities are examined within American Indian nations. Examining a context within a larger institutional context, comparisons are made between three American Indian nations and the United States. Patterns are identified regarding total entrepreneurial activity (TEA), nascent entrepreneurship, business discontinuation and new and established business rates. Additional analyses are conducted of individual-level variables within American Indian nations including location, self-efficacy and other variables in relation to nascent entrepreneurship and business ownership. Implications are drawn for tribal entrepreneurship development and further extension of the GEM methodology.
