The policy of preventing the transmission of Covid-19 through Large-Scale Social Borders and the Enforcement of Restrictions on Community Activities has had an impact on the economy. Many micro and small businesses have stopped operating, workers have been laid off, unemployment has increased, and there has been new poverty. This study aims to implement a business sustainability model that can adapt to new normal conditions supported by digital platform applications in a rural area and obtain a Covid-19 prevention model with a change in business governance orientation approach that can adapt to the new normal era. The research method used is literature study, exploratory survey, experimental research, and applied research. A field survey was conducted to obtain primary data at the village level. An experimental method to test business sustainability models and digital platform applications on micro and small businesses. Digital platform literacy is carried out through online workshops. The unit of analysis is micro and small business actors. The data analyzed are time series. The research site was in Sumedang Regency from September 2020 to July 2021.

Small Business Sustainability

PurposeLondon’s Candidature bid projected an irresistible legacy of lasting benefits for host communities and small businesses. Yet, local post-Games perspectives paint a contrasted picture – one of becoming displaced. This paper aims to draw on event legacy, specifically in relation to rising rents, threats to small business sustainability and impact on place development by empirically examining London’s localembryonic legaciesforming across one ex-hosting Olympic community: Central Greenwich.Design/methodology/approachIn total, 43 interviews with local businesses (specifically, small retailers and hospitality businesses), local authorities, London-centric and national project actors and policymakers underpin analysis, supported by official London 2012 archival, documentary and media reports, were conducted to add texture and triangulate primary and secondary data sources.FindingsJuxtaposing ex ante projections vs emerging ex post realities, this paper reveals a local legacy of small business failure fuelled by rising commercial rents and a wider indifference for protecting diverse urban high streets. Embroiled in a struggle to survive, and barely recognised as a key stakeholder and contributor to legacy, small businesses have and continue to become succeeded by a new business demographic in town: monochromatic global and national chains. Typifying the pervasive shift toward clone town spaces, this article argues that corporate colonisation displaces independent businesses, serves to homogenise town centres, dilute place-based cultural offer and simultaneously stunts access to a positive local development legacy. This paper argues that such processes lead to the production of urban blandscapes that may hamper destination competitiveness.Originality/valueExamining event legacy, specifically local legacies forming across ex-host Olympic communities, is a latent, under-researched but vital and critical aspect of scholarship. Most event legacy analysis focuses on longer-term issues for residents, yet little research focuses on both local placed-based development challenges and small business sustainability and survival post-Games. More specifically, little research examines the potential relationship between event-led gentrification, associated rising rents and aforementioned clone town problematic. Revealing and amplifying the idiosyncratic local challenges generated through an in-depth empirically driven triangulation of key local business, policy, governmental and non-governmental perspectives, is a central contribution of this article missing from extant literatures. This paper considers different ways those responsible for event legacy, place managers and developers can combat such aforementioned post-Games challenges.

Small Business Growth

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between entrepreneurial motivation and small business growth in one of the poorest emerging countries: the African least developed country (LDC), Rwanda. Design/methodology/approach – On the basis of theoretical resources and a pre-study of interviews with local experts in Rwanda, the authors developed a survey for this study. Based on primary data from 133 Rwandan small business owners, the authors conducted an exploratory factorial analysis to uncover the underlying factors. Subsequently, the authors conducted regression analyses to test the hypotheses. Findings – The analyses show that the predictors for the growth of small businesses can be divided into three factors: one factor with a mix of motivations related to family background, necessity and opportunity motivations; one factor with items predominantly related to opportunity motivation; and one factor with items related to necessity motivation. The first factor has the strongest positive effect on small business growth followed by the second factor. The factor concerning necessity motivation was irrelevant for further inclusion in the regression model, due to insufficient reliability. Research limitations/implications – The study contributes to the debate in the literature about which entrepreneurial motivations affect the growth of small businesses in LDCs. Practical implications – The results reported in this study also have implications for how small business growth in LDCs can be supported and stimulated by policy-making practice. Originality/value – This study shows that entrepreneurial motivation is not a clear distinction between necessity and opportunity, but that a mix of motivations is important to assess the growth of small businesses in an LDC, which is an understudied context.

Strength perspective mengarahkan pada pandangan bahawa bahwa setiap orang, kelompok atau masyarakat sesungguhnya memiliki sumber kekuatan, baik yang bersumber pada diri sendiri maupun lingkungan sekitar mereka. Pandangan ini dapat memandu setiap diri manusia, kelompok, organisasi, masyarakat; atau entitas sosial, ekonomi, dan budaya lainnya yang dengan sisi positifnya semestinya menjadi modal utama untuk mandiri, maju dan berkembang. Demikian pula dalam memetakan usaha mikro di perdesaan, dimana perpektif kekuatan berkaitan erat dengan pemberdayaan atau keberdayaan (empowered) usaha tersebut. Selain sumber-sumber potensial lainnya, seperti aset-aset fisik, ekonomi, dan budaya; perspektif ini menekankan perlunya pemanfaatan aset-aset sosial (social capital) potensial di masyarakat. Pandangan kekuatan (strength perspective) merupakan salah alternative upaya memetakan potensi usaha mikro-kecil di desa, agar hasilnya lebih positif dan fair. Banyak usaha kecil dan mikro yang tetap bertahan hingga kini, membuktikan bahwa mereka memiliki kekuatan. Lalu apa yang menjadi sumber kekuatan mereka, hingga dapat survive di tengah perubahan sosial dan teknologi informasi yang begitu cepat. Namun demikian, perubahan sosial dan kemajuan teknologi saat ini pun semestinya dapat berdampak positif bagi perkembangan usaha mereka. Artikel ini berupaya untuk menggambarkan dan menjelaskan bagaimana pandangan berbasis kekuatan (strength perspective) dalam memetakan potensi usaha mikro-kecil di desa, sebagai salah satu alternatif. Kajian dalam artikel ini dilandasi oleh pemikiran bahwa sesungguhnya setiap pelaku usaha mikro-kecil di desa memiliki kekuatan berikut dengan ragam sumber dan potensinya. Beragam sumber dan potensi tersebut bisa disadari atau pun tidak oleh pelaku usaha mikro-kecil (UMK) tersebut. Strength perspective leads to the view that every person, group or community actually has a source of strength, both originating from themselves and the environment around them. This view can guide every human being, group, organization, society; or other social, economic, and cultural entities that on the positive side should be the main capital to be independent, advanced and developing. Likewise in mapping microbusinesses in rural areas, where the strength perspective is closely related to empowering or empowering the business. In addition to other potential sources, such as physical, economic and cultural assets; This perspective emphasizes the need to utilize potential social assets in the community. The strength perspective is an alternative effort to map the potential of micro-small businesses in the village, so that the results are more positive and fair. Many small and micro businesses that have survived until now, prove that they have strength. Then what is the source of their strength, so they can survive in the midst of social change and information technology so fast. However, current social changes and technological advances should have a positive impact on the development of their businesses. This article seeks to describe and explain how a strength based perspective in mapping the potential of micro-small businesses in the village, as an alternative. The study in this article is based on the idea that every micro-small business actor in the village has the following strengths with various sources and potentials. The various sources and potentials can be realized or not by the micro-small business (UMK).

As a business that relies on human mobility, the tourism sector has proven to be severely affected by the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The paralysis of tourism both nationally and globally as a result of the lockdown policy in various countries and the Large-Scale Social Restriction (LSSR) policy in Indonesia affects the operations of tourism businesses. This has raised high anxiety for Tourism Human Resources about the future of the tourism business. This research discusses culture shock, adaptation, and self-concept of Tourism Human Resources in welcoming the new normal era from a communication perspective, both related to intercultural communication, interpersonal communication, and self-concept as part of communication psychology. This research used a qualitative research method with a case study approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, field observations, and document study through WhatsApp messages in several professional association groups, webinars, and mass media. The key informants in the research were 14 people as primary data and more than 200 members of the WhatsApp group “Housekeepers Jabar” as secondary data. The results of this research showed that Tourism Human Resources suffered from a culture shock and reached its lowest point in March to mid-April, but rose slowly from late April to June. There are three very stressful aspects of their life, consisting of cultural, social, and economic aspects. Cultural and social aspects are relatively easier to overcome, but the economic aspects are the most impactful because it concerns the sustainability of their life and their families. The period of awareness in the adaptation process is a period of struggle, creativity, and action so that many of them switch professions to run online businesses. This period is still ongoing and it is not known how long it will end. Positive self-concept plays an important role in a person’s success in adapting to survive because it helps a person to be resilient, patient, courageous, and creative in finding solutions in facing challenges thus opening up greater opportunities to successfully solve the problems.

This study explores the financial intermingling behavior of Mexican-American and Korean-American owned and operated small businesses. It posits that ethnically-owned and -operated small businesses with strong familial ties and more limited access to financial capital are more likely to intermingle financial resources than other small businesses. Mexican-American small business owners typically have very strong familial ties, while Korean-American small business owners typically have very strong community ties. Perhaps more importantly, Mexican-American small business owners have less access to pools of community capital than Korean-American small business owners. Therefore, it is expected that Mexican-American small business owners are more likely to intermingle financial resources than Korean-American small business owners. Even when controlling for the time in United States and English language spoken in the household, this study suggests Mexican-American small business owners are more likely to intermingle financial resources than Korean-American small business owners. Within these two ethnic groups, similar factors contribute to intermingling. Small business owners living in rural areas and borrowers are more likely to intermingle financial resources for both ethnic groups.

AbstractThis paper employed a variety of sources of data and a number of methods to describe rural lending markets. Over the sample period, 1992 through 1998, there was a pronounced trend towards affiliation of banks, both urban and rural, with holding companies, although over this period there was little change in the concentration of banking offices in rural areas. Using data from the 1993 National Survey of Small Business Finances, the study found some evidence that rural small businesses were less likely to apply for a loan than urban small firms although those rural firms that did apply were more likely to have their application accepted.

Further Development

Small entrepreneurship in rural areas plays a significant role in the Ukrainian economy, since its development contributes to the economic growth of the welfare of rural residents, the acceleration of scientific and technological progress, contributes to the saturation of the territorial markets with the necessary goods and services, and provides employment of freed labor resources. However, one of the main problems that slow down the development of small businesses in rural areas is the lack of financial support at the regional and national levels. A prerequisite for the further successful development of small business in rural areas is the stable and comprehensive state regulation. To date, there is no single algorithm of state intervention in the sphere of entrepreneurial activity. Each state, in accordance with socio-economic conditions of development, establishes state priorities and general state development. Small entrepreneurship in rural areas develops under the influence of external participants in the process: the state, local governments, and competitors. In reforming the economy, small businesses in rural areas have assumed the role of creator of the foundation for creating a new management system. The creation of small enterprises in rural areas allows solving a number of organizational and economic tasks, namely: the refusal of centralized management due to its ineffectiveness; creation of conditions for the reduction of the number of employees due to the elimination of ineffective units; the implementation of rational transformations for the further development of a particular area of the entire region. State regulation and support for the development of small businesses in rural areas in Ukraine should include a system of regulatory, economic and organizational measures that will promote the living standards of the population in rural areas, increase the efficiency of economic activity and rational use of available resources. Consequently, the further development of rural areas of Ukraine depends on how the state, community and rural dwellers work in this regard. The reasons for the slowdown of rural areas are the lack of human capital in rural areas, as well as financial support. It is also necessary to develop a single legal space within which social partnership of all members of society can be realized for the common goal – development and prosperity of not a separate group of people, but of the entire population of our rich country. Prospects for further research we see in the future the study of regional features of state support of small business in rural areas.
