Minority women continue to make significant gains in economic activity, particularly as entrepreneurs through the creation of small businesses. Despite this increased role in small business activity and an admirable rate of success, minority women-owned businesses continue to experience problems in acquiring capital. This difficulty, which some have attributed to discriminatory practices, forces a large number of these businesses to rely on governmental support programs for assistance in meeting their capital needs. Building on the idea that things are not as simple as commonly presented, a case is made that access to capital for women-owned businesses is affected by a number of other factors tied to the inability to join important networks.

Qualitative Characteristics

This main objective of this article is defining capacity of small business to act as compensator of negative trends, emerging in sphere of employment in large and medium sized business of Ukrainian economy. Authors are focused not only on the availability of working places created in small business for persons, vacated from large and medium sized enterprises, but on the small business capacity to create economic preconditions for improving qualitative characteristics of employment in this sector and in whole economy. Authors have built the multiplicative term, which expresses impact, caused by different characteristics of economic activity in small and large and medium sized business on the payroll dynamics as main indicator of economic potential for improvement characteristics of employment in appropriate economy’s sector. The first factor — is the total number of enterprises, as the expression of entrepreneurs’ economic activity and their preference to working in the official (registered) sector of the national economy. Second factor — is the average number of employees in enterprise of certain sector, as the expression of scale of resources, accumulated by average entity for economic activity. Third, the scale of output, created by unit employee in certain sector, as the expression of productivity level of labor resource, involved in this sector. Fourth, the volume of payroll is affected by the distribution of total output (which was used for estimation of labor productivity) between different directions of productive consumption, i.e. the share of payroll in the total revenue of small enterprises. The results obtained by factors analysis didn’t prove the thesis about small business capacity to compensate the negative trends, observed concerning employment in sectors of large and middle business of Ukrainian economy. The trends prevailing in creation and distribution of added value in small business does not contribute to improvement of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of employment in small business and whole Ukrainian economy. This situation indicates that small businesses in the face of negative macroeconomic dynamics have been unable to accumulate resources (at least by concentrating resources on fewer businesses that will be able to ensure higher efficiency) needed to improve the impact of the small business sector on the reproduction of employment in the economy of Ukraine. In addition, the significant lag in the level of wages in small business from large and medium and from the average level of the economy remains an important element of the mechanism for reproducing the low level of wages in Ukraine.

In today’s globalized world, international trade, which covers the totality of foreign trade of all countries of the world, is a powerful force of economic development. The economic development of any country is impossible without its active participation in trade relations with other countries of the world. The rapid formation of the global economy contributes to the emergence of a number of opportunities for both large and small businesses. The article considers both advantages and disadvantages of globalization of economy. The article claims that in the current conditions of technological development and rapid integration processes, it is necessary to take into account results of globalization, while forming an effective state policy regarding the realization of foreign trade activities. The country participating in the system of global economic relations should have competitive advantages and improve its competitiveness in order to avoid the impact of negative factors. The article reveals the current state of the development of Ukraine’s foreign trade with other countries of the world, as well as explores Ukraine’s exports and imports structure. Despite a significant increase in the cost of exporting goods and services to the world, Ukraine is still an import-dependent country. The currency liberalization contributed to the reduction of prejudice from foreign counterparties, investors and banks, which allowed Ukrainian enterprises to operate fully in foreign markets, which resulted in a significant reduction in the negative foreign trade balance of the country. The new currency law has provided Ukraine with a base for free capital movement, which brought the country closer to European standards. However, despite significant easing in foreign exchange regulation, Ukrainian manufacturers continue to face a number of both internal and external obstacles to boosting their export activity. The article defines further ways of development of foreign economic activity of domestic enterprises in the conditions of globalization. It has been established that the stable development of the economy is possible only in the conditions of maintaining its openness and rapid development of foreign trade.
