Free/Open Source software (FOSS) has made Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems more accessible for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) including overseas subsidiaries of large companies. However, the consulting required to configure an ERP to meet the specific needs of an organization remains a major financial and organizational burden for SMEs. Automatic ERP package configuration based on knowledge engineering, machine learning and data mining could be a solution to lessen the burden of the implementation process. This chapter presents two approaches to an automation of selected configuration options of the FOS-ERP package ERP5. These approaches are based on knowledge engineering with decision trees and machine learning with classifiers. The design of the ERP5 Artificial intelligence Toolkit (EAT) aims at the integration of these approaches into ERP5. The chapter also shows how FOS-ERP can boost Information System (IS) research. The investigation of the automation approaches was only possible because the free source code and technical documentation of ERP5 was accessible for TU Dresden researchers.

Growth was measured based on three key performance indicators of gross profits, employment and asset levels.Logistic regressions were estimated to identify the determinants of growth for each of the performance indicators. A survey was conducted on 199 women owned enterprises in the Tamale Metropolis of Ghana that had accessed micro credit from 2010 - 2014. The relationship between the performance indicators and a set of explanatory variables grouped into entrepreneur characteristics, business profile, loan and banking profile and enterprise size were considered. </span><span lang="EN-GB">The results</span><span lang="EN-US"> showed that entrepreneur characteristics and business profile significantly predicts the growth in gross profits of the SMEs. Specifically the person(s) put in charge of the day-to-day running of the business enterprise had a significant relationship with the growth in gross profit of the enterprise at the 1% significance level whilst household size of entrepreneur was significant at the 5% level. However, employment and asset growth were not significantly predicted by the explanatory variables at both the 1 and 5 % levels.</span></p>

Purpose: The main purpose of the study was to assess the effects of interest rate on credit access of small and medium enterprises’ in Garissa County.Methodology: A descriptive survey was employed in this study. The target population of this study was 10 SACCOs and 150 SMEs registered within Garissa County. Primary data was collected from respondents via structured questionnaires. The descriptive statistics was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 20.0 and presented in the report in the form of tables, bar charts and graphs. Correlation and regression analysis was done to establish the relationship between the variables.Results: The results showed that interest rate policy was significantly related to credit access since its p-value (0.000) was less than the significance level of 0.05. The findings implied that a change in interest rate policy by one unit could result to positive variation of 0.70 units in credit access.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Based on the study findings, the study concluded that SACCO’s interest rate policy affect SMEs accessibility to credit. The study recommended that SACCOs should consider revising their policy on interest rate charged. The study also recommended that County government should intervene to ensure that SMEs have access to financial services to enable them contribute to development and employment creation.
