This paper addresses differences in the way that the problems of small UK firms are construed by policy makers on the one hand, and by the executives of small companies on the other. The authors employ a discursively-based analysis of interviews carried out with managers of small manufacturing companies in the West London area. They suggest that SME executives construe their attitudes to advanced technology and innovation within the terms of some clear, but implicit management values which tend to lead to the perception of innovation as a risk to be managed, rather than an opportunity to be exploited. It is suggested this has significant implications for attempts to change small company culture.

Global Operations

Globalization has been one of the strategies many organizations looking to achieve competitive advantage in their markets of operation have been implementing. It has been in existence since the Europeans and Americans started to move into other continents to conquer nations within those continents. Globalization involves the movement of an organization to other parts of the globe in order to utilize the opportunities normally available in those countries for manufacturing of products and trading. There are many strategies through which organizations could use to go global. However the most popular strategies are alliances, acquisitions, mergers and joint ventures.  Most organizations which go global usually look for how they could cut cost by utilizing the cheaper natural and human resources available in those countries for production of goods and services. These organizations which go global are called multi-national companies (MNCs), as they usually have assets in the countries they operate from. Some organizations have been able to benefit substantially from globalization, whilst others not. The successful organizations have been able to achieve competitive advantage and some of them have even been able to attain sustained competitive advantage in their fields of operation.

Secondary Information

Beekeeping is a low investment and low input business enterprise with immediate return. However, very few researches has been done on value chain analysis of honey sub-sector in Nepal. Such a backdrop, this research gauges the value chain of honey in Nepal focusing value chain function, actors/products flow and enabling business in 2018. Both primary and secondary information were collected using different research instruments in 2018. This study revealed that Apis cerana was the major honey-bee reared in Pyuthan district and about 50% youth were engaged in beekeeping business. Each household have an average of 32 hives ranging from 15 to 80 hives. Average 32 kg honey was consumed at HHs level and 239 kg was sold. The average wholesale rate of honey at farm gate was about NPR 400-450 (USD 3.6-4.1) per kg with the retail price rate was NPR 500 (USD 4.5). An average income earned from honey sale was NPR 60000 (USD 545) per annum ranging from NPR 20000 to 120000. Majority of the beekeepers received training whereas none of them have done insurance. About 55% of the beekeepers have taken loan from saving groups and cooperatives or MFIs. There has not any provision of grading, processing and labelling of the product at producer’s point in the study area.  The main threats of beekeeping came from loss of habitat, disease, pest and enemies. This research suggests to develop upgrading practices with facilitation of basic value chain practices for promotion of high-quality Nepali honey at global markets. Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol.

Competitive Situation

All sectors are facing an increasing competitive situation, therefore economic analyzes are increasing in importance in asset management. The market dynamics tends to a continuous improvement. The objectives of profitability and life cycle costs have a significant influence on the strategy of assets and strategic decisions in the organization, so it is important to analyze capex and opex to be able to define the strategies to take. What happens when we are in a medium or small company? Generally, the answer to this is that asset management only takes place on large companies. In this research, the application of an international standard model, such as ISO 55000 in asset management, for medium and small companies, becomes relevant. This standard covers a whole concept of control, monitoring and improvement, which explains what should be done. The application of a management model based on the standard allows meeting specific requirements and characteristics. Our conclusion is that any entity, regardless of its size should establish a strategy in its asset management and ISO 55000 could help them in developing that strategy.

<p>Persaingan global menuntut setiap bisnis melakukan inovasi dalam pemanfaatan sistem dan teknologi informasi (SI/TI) untuk meningkatkan nilai tambah. Alur informasi yang tidak berjalan optimal dapat menjadi kendala bagi bisnis. Terkait hal tersebut, permasalahan yang kemudian menjadi isu penting diantaranya adalah potensi kerugian akibat ketidaksesuaian data stok di sistem inventori dengan stok aktual, serta prioritas pengembangan sistem informasi yang belum terencana dengan matang. Permasalahan tersebut mendorong perlu adanya perencanaan yang matang dan terukur untuk mencapai visi-misi perusahaan. Penelitian ini mengambil studi kasus PT. Gramedia Asri Media yang merupakan salah satu bisnis ritel terbesar di Indonesia. Alur metodologi dalam studi ini terdiri dari analisis bisnis internal, analisis lingkungan bisnis eksternal, analisis lingkungan SI/TI internal, dan analisis lingkungan SI/TI eksternal. Metode yang digunakan untuk menganalisis lingkungan bisnis internal adalah <em>internal value chain</em>, dan <em>Critical Success Factor</em> (CSF), sementara itu analisis PESTLE, <em>five forces</em>, dan <em>eksternal value chain</em> diaplikasikan untuk menganalisis lingkungan bisnis eksternal. Metode yang digunakan untuk menganalisis lingkungan internal SI/TI adalah Portofolio McFarlan, sementara itu studi literatur dan observasi digunakan untuk melakukan analisis lingkungan eksternal SI/TI. Dengan menggunakan metodologi Ward dan Peppard ini, dihasilkan <em>roadmap</em> SI/TI yang selaras dengan kebutuhan bisnis serta dapat dibangun dalam jangka waktu 4 tahun.</p><p><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p><em>Global competition requires every business innovates their systems and information technology (IS/IT) to increase their value. The better the information runs, the wider the value increases. Related to that, some problems becoming important matter are potential losses due to the discrepancy of stock data in the inventory system with actual stock, and the priority of information systems development that have not been well planned as well. This situation encourages the need of measurable planning to achieve the company's vision and mission. This study took a case study of PT. Gramedia Asri Media, one of the largest retail business in Indonesia. The methodology applied in this study consists of external business analysis, internal business analysis, external IS/IT analysis, and internal IS/IT analysis. The methods assessed to analyze the internal business are the internal value chain, and the Critical Success Factor (CSF), while the PESTLE, five forces, and external value chain analyzes are applied to analyze the external business environment. Furthermore, the method used to analyze the internal environment of IS / TI is the McFarlan Portfolio, while the literature and observation studies are used to conduct analysis of the IT external environment. Assessing the Ward and Peppard methodology, an IS/IT roadmap is aligned with business needs and can be developed within 4 years.</em></p>

The Uk

Purpose Since the UK Companies Act 1981, different reporting standards have developed for different classes of company to reduce the reporting burden on non-listed companies. There are now different regimes for listed, large private, medium-sized, small and micro companies. This strategy raises the issue of whether earnings quality across the different classes of company is comparable. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses the smoothness of earnings to measure reporting quality across the different types of companies from 2006 to 2013, based on 514,000 observations. Smoothness is an indicator of poor quality. Findings The authors find that listed companies have the highest earnings quality, closely followed by small and micro companies. In contrast, large private and medium-sized companies have much lower earnings quality. Overall, the authors find companies which switch between reporting regimes have lower earnings quality. The authors also find that earnings quality is not affected by the small company exemption from audit. Research limitations/implications Companies filing abbreviated accounts are excluded since they do not file an income statement. The recent revisions to UK GAAP (FRS 102 and FRS 105) are not examined due to insufficient data. Practical implications The Financial Reporting Council’s (FRC) strategy of reducing the financial reporting and auditing obligations for small companies seems not to have significantly affected earnings quality. However, the FRC may need to review the reporting requirements of large private and medium-sized companies and also the option of companies to switch between reporting regimes; in these settings earnings quality appears to be weaker. Originality/value The paper studies the effect of earnings quality across the different reporting regimes in the UK. Novel and important features of the study are that the sample covers a wide variety of small and micro companies which have not been analyzed previously; the results are disaggregated by year, for assurance that the results are not driven by a single rogue year; and the authors also address the small company exemption from audit, and the flexibility of non-listed companies to switch between regimes.

The Impact

This paper reports on the impact of SEC registration Form S–18 on the new-issues securities market. Form S–18 was intended as an easier, faster, and less costly alternative for small companies to raise public capital. The findings indicate that Form S–18 offerings were slightly less costly and were processed faster than Form S–1 offerings. They also suggest that Form S–18 has helped smaller, start-up companies go public, that potential investors may face additional risk when purchasing Form S–18 offerings, and that underwriters were sensitive to the added risk.

The Impact

The presence of small and medium-sized enterprises on the Internet in the era of increasing global competition has become a necessity. These entities have begun to notice the benefits that can be obtained by using modern IT tools in various areas of their operations. The aim of the paper is to analyse and evaluate the impact of the use of IT tools in various areas of SMEs’ operations on creating their entrepreneurial orientation. The implementation of such a goal required, on the one hand, a literature review and an analysis of current research on the IT tools used by small and medium-sized enterprises in the context of creating their entrepreneurial orientation, and on the other hand, conducting the author’s own research among small companies. Quantitative research was carried out from December 2017 to January 2018 among 400 small enterprises in Poland by means of a survey questionnaire using the CATI technique.

State Interventions

Since the financial and economic global crisis of 2007-2008, western industrialized countries experienced a return to stronger state interventions in the business, which are considered as the most important answer to the new rules of global competition and oversize economy. After forty years of tendencies towards the second way of seeing the function of the State in the economy, both the financial crisis of 2007-2008 and the pandemic of 2020 have rediscovered the thaumaturgical value of the Keynesian approach, which is adopted in all Western countries, with impressive support plans for the real economy. The transition period towards a great structural change through the new European strategy based on developmental industrial policies needs a complex and multilevel European governance, based on the construction of a coherent inter-institutional governance of the public governmental filière. In particular, regions and cities can compete in global markets for attracting investments, tourists or residents through appropriate place marketing policies.
