It was first detected in the town Wuhan in China at the end of 2019 and later spread all over the world. The first COVID-19 case in Croatia was detected on February 25th, 2020. Less than a month later, on March 16th, 2020, the Government of the Republic of Croatia declared a lockdown due to the rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus in Europe, especially in the neighbouring Italy, as well as the increase of the number of patients in the Republic of Croatia. During the lockdown all business activities, except grocery stores, were closed and the economy slowed. On March 17th, 2020, the Government announced relief measures to support the economy in coping with COVID-19 epidemic, that include interventional procurement of critically important medical and sanitary equipment, delays in tax payments, purchasing of surpluses of potentially threatened business such as agricultural or industrial goods, measures to support tourism activities, as well as rationalization of public spending without measures for healthcare and social services. From April 27th to May 11th, 2020 the social and economic activity gradually started again. This research discusses how Croatian SMEs have been affected by the COVID-19 epidemic lockdown and answers some of the most important questions about the resilience of Croatian SMEs during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The aim of this conceptual paper is to investigate the social media adoption by Indonesian small and medium enterprises (SME) managers. The proliferation of social media has changed the way enterprises market their products or services. A review of the literature shows there is lack of research investigating the adoption that systematically uses one theoretical model; and later putting the model in the context of the Small and Medium Enterprises in Indonesia. Most research on Social Media adoption by Small and Medium Enterprises used either technological acceptance models, or examined the characteristics of the enterprise. Both UTAUT (The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) and UTAUT2 have shown inconsistent results. This paper proposes a new model by decomposing the social influence with normative, coercive and mimetic pressures. In the proposed model, subjective norm is decomposed into normative pressure of employees, coercive pressure of customers and mimetic pressure of competitors. The framework contributes to the knowledge in the field of consumer behavior and technology acceptance research, by decomposing the construct of social influence. Secondly, and it tested the manager's characteristics of habit, age, gender and also the experience. It not only merely tested as moderators but also as a predictor of behavioral intention. The results of this study are also expected to benefit entrepreneurs and the government of the Republic of Indonesia in terms of assisting entrepreneurs to be more effective.

The growth of cooperatives in Indonesia today is very fast, especially the growth of cooperatives in Bali. Based on data from the Department of Cooperatives, Micro, Small and Medium Bali Province the number of cooperatives in bali per June 30, 2016 as many as 4934, this is certainly a positive picture for the growth of cooperatives. The development of micro-credit activities undertaken cooperative is also growing very rapidly, but this is not matched by the quality of the performance of the cooperative itself. These conditions encourage the government oversight of credit unions and savings and loans by issuing a decision on guidelines for the rating of the cooperative based on Regulation Supervision Deputy Ministry of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises of the Republic of Indonesia Number 01 / Per / Dep.6 / IV / 2016. The process of calculating the cooperative health assessment has now been made but there is still a conventional manner using Microsoft Excel so that experienced problems in the calculation and delivery of information on the results. Supervision of the cooperative in question is difficult because the delay of information and the lack of technology used. Computerized system and geographic information system support can be used to assist in the process of assessment of the level of health and also facilitate cooperative Cooperative Agency in monitoring the cooperative in question.

There have been many discussions on the globalisation of SMEs, but it is true that there is not enough academic achievement after such the study of Born global (BG) ventures. The internationalisation of SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) is not easy because they lack resources or capabilities compared to multinational corporations. This study investigated the role of government in assisting the internationalisation of SMEs. In particular, SMEs lacked the ability to acquire market-oriented information, so we’ve established the scheme of efficient information support system for the internationalisation of SMEs. In other words, we proposed an information analysis system through the establishment of a relational database constructed for market-oriented information support. KISTI (Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information), which is one of the government-funded research institutes in the Republic of Korea, provided information support to the SMEs dealing with hydrazine related products. This study suggests this case for the market-oriented information support of the government in the internationalisation of SMEs. The research on information support of the government is meaningful in that it suggests a way to support SMEs in practical level.

The existence of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) can no longer be doubted because they are proven to be able to survive and become the economic cogs. In 2011 MSMEs were able to contribute significantly to state revenue by contributing 61,9 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) revenue through tax payments. But the development of MSMEs in Indonesia is still very weak, one of the problems faced is human resources. MSMEs require targeted empowerment, guidance and development to be able to compete with large-scale companies. From the tax sector, the government has made special rules to facilitate MSMEs business people in their tax payments, namely through PP Number 23 of 2018. And furthermore it is expected that MSMEs business players can increase the level of making simple accounting which will help to tidy the administration of their businesses. In this case, we help MSMEs businesses to improve their capability and understanding in accounting and the new Tax Regulation (PP no.23/2018). This activity was attended by 51 MSMEs business people in the city of Depok. After attending the training, participants were given the opportunity to ask questions and consult. The results of the training and mentoring show an increase in knowledge about simple accounting that can be made by the participants themselves and participants become aware of the new taxation rules namely PP No.23 of 2018 as well as raising awareness about the importance of paying taxes.

The recent growth of minimarkets in Cianjur Regency, is considered to have indirectly threatened and paralyzed, traditional traders. Therefore, the regional government of Cianjur Regency was asked to think about the fate of small traders who could lose their livelihoods due to being run over by large companies. The government is required to review the issuance of permits for the establishment of these minimarkets. Shopping Malls and Modern Stores. The research objective was to determine the impact of the establishment of a mini-market on the climate of small and micro businesses and the policies of the Cianjur Regency Government in creating a healthy business climate. Legal protection for small or micro businesses for the presence of Minimarket in Cianjur Regency. The research method of normative juridical research is research that is focused on examining the application of the norms or norms in positive law which is carried out by examining various legal rules. The results of this research show that the franchise policy limitation is in accordance with the policy objectives, but the results of this policy cannot directly have a major impact on the business activities of grocery stores and traditional shops. This is also caused by external factors beyond the influence of the policy itself, namely the taste and tendency of consumers to prefer shopping at minimarkets rather than at grocery stores or traditional stalls. Meanwhile, from the internal side, the UMKM itself is less touched by the existence of this regulation, namely regarding the empowerment of MSMEs and growing and increasing the capacity of MSMEs to become strong and independent businesses. Keywords: Business Competition, Minimarket, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises.
