<p>The current paper features the solution of the problem of the controlled impact on the development of the single-industry economy at the expense of small business by using specialized management methods. The article examines the current situation in the monodependent cities of Russia and the existing approaches to solving their social and economic problems. The authors of the study propose their approach to solving social and economic problems in single-industry towns. This approach is based on the use of a group of strategies for managing the city’s mesofactors and microindicators of urban small businesses operating. The article describes each group of strategies from the position of the city administration and from the side of business. In their previous studies, the authors proved the existence of a significant correlation between the socioeconomic performance of a single-industry city and the aggregated economic indicators of small business. The study was carried out on the basis of an analysis of the statistical indicators of more than 400 small companies in the monotown of Yurga in 2007 – 2016. The article gives relevant conclusions about the possibility of applying the above-described strategies both on the scale of the monotown and on the individual branches of the urban economy.</p>

The paper examines approaches to boosting small businesses by solving financial and economic problems of business functioning. The subject of the research is the factors that stimulate business development in tough economic circumstances. The purpose of the research was to identify the factors affecting the development of small businesses and ways of boosting their activities. To this end, a SWOT-analysis matrix for a small organization has been developed. The factors hampering the development of small businesses are revealed including reduced investment, lack of cooperation between large and small companies, significant tax burden on small companies, difficulties in obtaining loans and other sources of financing, insufficient financial support from the state, inefficient microfinance system, scarce introduction of standard leasing schemes into small businesses. As a result of the research, small business promotion policies have been suggested to spur the activities of small business entities. It is concluded that at present the tools available for boosing the small business activities are not used in the full range.

Small business training can facilitate business growth. The authors show that a ‘hands-on’ approach can have a direct impact on a business owner's current situation. They consider this in relation to the problem of being unable to find the right staff, demonstrating that a programme such as the one they describe enables learning and addresses the lack of time and resources faced by many small business owner-managers. Such programmes also accommodate the style, pace and circumstances of the individual learner. This has a number of implications for the delivery of training to small business owner-managers.

AbstractFor a group of Wayao street vendors in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, kinship relations were simultaneously an advantage and a hindrance. Their migration to the city and entry into the urban economy had occurred along ethnic and kinship lines. But, as they perceived the socially heterogeneous environment of the city that potentially offered them opportunities to cooperate with people from different social or ethnic backgrounds, they experienced their continuing dependency on their relatives as a form of confinement. Against the backdrop of the city, the Wayao perceived their social relations as being burdened with an inescapable sameness that made it impossible to trust one another. Mistrust, contempt and mutual suspicion were the flip side of close social relations and culminated in accusations ofuchawi(Swahili: witchcraft). However, these accusations did not have a disintegrative effect; paradoxically, their impact on social relations among the vendors was integrative. On the one hand,uchawiallegations expressed the claustrophobic feeling of stifling relations; on the other, they compelled the accused to adhere to a shared morality of egalitarian relations and exposed the feeling that the accused individual was worthy of scrutiny, indicating that relationships with him were of particular importance to others.

Underlying Processes

In the context of the European city, the regeneration of former industrial sites is a unique opportunity to actively steer urban development. These plots of land gain strategic importance in actively triggering development on the city scale. Ideally, these interventions radiate beyond the individual site and contribute to the strengthening of the location as a whole. International competition between locations is rising and prosperous development a precondition for wealth and wellbeing. This approach to the regeneration of inner city plots makes high demands on all those involved. Our framework suggests a stronger focus of the conceptualization and analysis of idiosyncratic resources, to enable innovative approaches in planning. On the one hand, we are discussing spatially restrained urban plots, which have the capacity and need to be reset. On the other hand, each plot is a knot in the web of relations on a multiplicity of scales. The material city is nested into a set of interrelated scale levels – the plot, the quarter, the city, the region, potentially even the polycentric megacity region. The immaterial relations however span a multicity of scale levels. The challenge is to combine these two perspectives for their mutual benefit. The underlying processes are constitutive to urban space diversity, as urban form shapes urban life and vice versa.

According to Justis and Judd (1998), franchising is defined as “a business opportunity by which the owner (producer or distributor) of a service or a trademarked product grants exclusive rights to an individual for the local distribution and/or sale of the service or product, and in return receives a payment or royalty and conformance to quality standards. The individual or business granting the business rights is called the franchisor, and the individual or business granted the right to operate in accordance with the chosen method to produce or sell the product or service is called the franchisee.” Although the business of the franchisor is usually larger than the “satellite small businesses” of the franchisees, most franchisors manage mostly small and medium-size enterprises (Stanworth, Price, and Purdy, 2001). The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) recognizes this fact and sponsors various seminars in franchising, for example, business plan and raising capital, through regional Small Business Development Centers (Thomas and Seid, 2000). In addition, SBA sets up programs specifically designed for franchises (for example, Franchise Registry Web site: www.franchiseregistry.com) to streamline the review process for SBA loan applications (Sherman, 1999) and provide special incentives for franchisees to open locations in economically depressed areas (Thomas and Seid, 2000).

AbstractThe dearth of reliable data makes field work essential to gain a more accurate picture on small business in today's Russia.1 Interviewing representatives of organizations instead of individual entrepreneurs provides a more balanced picture, as entrepreneurs may be reluctant to divulge information about their firm. Although the firms these organizations work with are not fully representative of the small business population in St. Petersburg the results do not differ substantially from surveys previously conducted in the city. Therefore, these data can provide some useful insights on small business in St. Petersburg. Data collected suggest that new firms are mostly profitable and expanding production. The fact that half of the firms have as their main competitor another small firm testifies to the greater adaptability and flexibility of new firms compared with larger ones. The sales of these firms tend, however, to be concentrated in the domestic market with a negligible export component similarly to what was observed in surveys conducted in other parts of Russia.

The article considers the role of small business in terms of the present-day global economy and analyses the problems of identifying an optimal correlation between small and large businesses in the open-type economic systems. The authors describe the features of small enterprises in performing economic activities and substantiate the necessity and expediency of cooperation between large and small companies in the field of technological innovations. Foreign experience has proved the effectiveness and perspectiveness of incorporating of small businesses in the activities of large companies, one of the components of country's successful economic development as a whole. However, despite the emerging positive trend, this area is still not given due attention in Russia. The authors investigate the historical features of the Russian small business system that have left a mark on its interrelations with large business entities and bring up an issue of the necessity of mastering the state support of the small business sector in our country and pay a sufficiently more attention to the issues of cooperation and mutual support of small and large businesses.

the claim that if anything of the sort had occurred I would have brought a plea in bar of action against him, but that I should come to court with this plea and demonstrate to you both that I have done this man no wrong and that his prosecution of me is illegal. [2] If Pantainetos had suffered any of the wrongs of which he is now complaining, he would clearly have brought a suit at once during the period when our business dealings took place, since these suits are monthly and we were both in town, and when all mankind are in the habit of showing their indignation right at the moment of their wrongs rather than after a delay. Since he has suffered no wrong – as you too will (I’m sure) affirm when you hear what happened – but is plaguing me from the confidence aroused by his success in the suit against Euergos, the only course left for me is to prove in your court, judges, that I am not in any way guilty and provide witness for my statements in an attempt to save myself. [3] My request to all of you will be modest and fair: to hear me with goodwill on the issue of my barring plea and to pay attention to the whole of my case. For though many suits have taken place in the city, I think it will be found that no-one has brought a suit more shameless or more unscrupulous than the one he has dared to lodge and bring to court. I shall give you as brief an account as I am able of all our dealings from the beginning. [4] Euergos and I loaned one hundred and five mnai to Pantainetos here, judges, on the security of a processing plant among the mine workings at Maroneia and thirty slaves. Forty-five mnai of the loan were mine, while one talent belonged to Euergos. As it happened, Pantainetos owed a talent to Mnesikles of Kollytos and forty-five mnai to Phileas of Eleusis and Pleistor. [5] The individual who sold the processing plant and the slaves to us was Mnesikles (he was the one who had bought the property for Pantainetos from Telemachos, its former owner), and Pantainetos leased it from us for the interest accruing on the money, one hundred and five drachmas per month. We made a contract in which were written the terms of the lease and a right for Pantainetos to redeem the property from us within a stated time. [6] Once this had been completed in the month of Elaphebolion in the archonship of Theophilos, I sailed off to the Black Sea, while this man and Euergos were here. As to their dealings with each other while I was away, I could not say. For their versions do not agree with each other, nor does Pantainetos’ version always agree with itself. Sometimes he says he was evicted

This study is dedicated to assessing the factors of entrepreneurship that contribute or impede the development of small business in the regions. The study aims at displaying the factors of entrepreneurship in Russia through statistical indicators and determining their impact on the development of small enterprises in the regions with different conditions and development. At the first stage of the study, two groups of regions with the most favorable and unfavorable conditions for the development of small business were identified by using the multivariate comparative analysis. At the second stage, the entrepreneurship factors in the form of statistical indicators were divided into four groups: political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological-innovative. Using the correlation analysis, the factors that had the strongest impact on the development of small business in the regions were determined. These factors were compared to the results of monitoring the entrepreneurship in world countries and Russia. The difference between the results of the statistical analysis and the results of the entrepreneurs’ surveys has been revealed. During the study it has been determined that depending on a region and its development, one and the same factor of entrepreneurship can influence small businesses in different ways. It has also been substantiated that it is impossible to correctly compile a general list of entrepreneurship factors for the Russian regions. It is necessary to monitor the opinions of entrepreneurs and carry out the statistical analysis of factors for each group of regions that are similar in their development. The conclusions of the study can be used as theoretical basis for studying the problems of developing small business in the regions.
