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.

The aim of this article is to present research on consolidation of enterprises, especially units operating in the private sector. The method of comparative analysis and synthesis of the author’s own research results was used in the study, which proved the hypothesis that consolidation of the surveyed enterprises, which operate in the private sector, causes a gradual decrease in the phenomenon of the precariat, mainly due to an increase in the number of indefinite duration employment contracts. The author personally conducted telephone interviews with managers of variously sized companies. The survey covered 1,000 business entities from Poland, including 550 micro enterprises, 280 small enterprises, 120 medium-sized entities and 50 large enterprises, which in the years 2005–2018 were transformed as a result of consolidation processes (mergers or acquisitions). These phone conversations were conducted as free interviews.

The Subject

The subject of considerations of the text are the dominant socio-cultural and market orientations of small business in Poland. These orientations are related to the four dominant models of entrepreneurship in Poland: disaster, evolutionary, system and ethical, while their analysis is performed for Tyree basic perspectives. Firstly, from the perspective of the basic functions that can perform these orientations in the development or slowing of the enterprises market. Secondly, from the perspective of the dynamics of technological change and accompanying uncertainties in the sphere of business. Thirdly, the spatial perspective: local, regional and global scales. In the development of SMEs in Poland crucial meaning is legislation, steadily adapted to EU regulations, especially to the European Charter for Small Enterprises. Research conducted in Poland by many authors provide data for doing so, to confirm the hypothesis that among small businesses a vital role in shaping their work situation did not continue to play the market mechanisms and orientations, but mainly socio-cultural factors.

This paper explores the impact of privatization on the efficiency growth of enterprises in two transitional countries, which did not follow the same privatization model. The aim of this research is to analyze the effects of privatization on micro and macroeconomic indicators. Research will be based on ten-year time-series analysis, using both financial and other indicators. Particular emphasis will be placed on efficiency and profitability growth by analyzing separately large, medium, and small enterprises. The expressed hypotheses, which will be tested through statistical data analysis, are related to the statement that the privatization model utilized did not contribute to the efficiency of the entire economy. However, it did contribute to the efficiency of particular segments of enterprises. The second hypothesis is that the recent growth of small business efficiency will decrease while medium and large enterprise efficiency will increase. Finally, the third hypothesis is related to the impact of enterprise performance in ten years period on macroeconomic indicators. The development of small business in both countries in the early years of transition will be examined. During this time of period, small businesses tended to experience more efficiency growth than other enterprises. However, there currently appears to be a shift in efficiency and profitability growth to medium and large enterprises. Therefore, another aim of this research is to determine what factors may have caused these differences and lead to the opinion about future efficiency growth in countries in transition.
