Syftet med denna uppsats är att öka förståelsen för SME företagens val av finansiering och val av kapitalbudgeteringsteknik. Vidare är syftet att se hur finansieringsvalet och valet av kapitalbudgeteringsteknik förhåller sig till varandra. Detta är viktigt av anledningen att SME företagen bidrar till sysselsättningsskapandet i samhället, och finansieringsvalet och användandet av kapitalbudgeteringstekniker kan vara fundamentala för deras bidrag. För att erhålla en djupare förståelse har ett kvalitativt tillvägagångssätt valts där sju tillverkande SME företag i Sverige intervjuats. De huvudsakliga resultaten är följande, (1) SME företag använder mestadels återinvesterat kapital och undviker att finansiera investeringar från utomstående finansiella institutioner. Vidare, (2) användes mindre sofistikerade kapitalbudgeteringstekniker oavsett valet av finansieringskälla. Däremot, (3) upplever SME företagen en finansiell press från finansiella institutioner när de lider av likviditetsbegränsningar. Detta resulterar i att SME företagen lägger en payback period på investeringen för att tillgodose kraven från de finansiella institutionerna. Denna uppsats avslutas med riktlinjer för framtida forskning.

The purpose of this thesis is to increase understanding of the financial choices made by SMEs and the choice of capital budgeting techniques. Furthermore, to see if the choice of financing have an influence on the choice of capital budgeting technique. This is important since SMEs contribute to employment in the society and the financial choice and use of capital budgeting techniques could be crucial to their contribution. To capture in-depth understanding, this thesis have used a qualitative approach and interviewed seven manufacturing SMEs located in Sweden. The main findings are the following, (1) SMEs mainly use reinvested capital and avoid financing if possible from financial institutions. Furthermore, (2) less sophisticated capital budgeting techniques was used regardless of financial choice. However, (3) when SMEs suffer from liquidity problems they express to feel financial pressure from financial institutions. Which leads to SMEs putting a payback period on the investment to satisfy the demands from financial institutions. This thesis concludes with guidelines for future research.

▼ This research interrogates a large population of shareholders, senior managers and company directors in New Zealand as to their reasons for considering board service, their competence in governance skills areas, their beliefs as to whether board room diversity is needed and their firms’ interests to recruit further independent directors to their boards. With a considerable deference to the contributions of agency theory as the conventional cornerstone to explain the connection of directors into organizations for the purpose of governance service, this work explores the extension of agency theory by adding an additional driver for governance engagement by company directors: Commitment. Based on this research, company directors in New Zealand appear to base their interest in serving as independent directors on company boards largely on the desire to “do good”. This raises the prospect of a deeper and more meaningful relationship with firms where they serve as directors. Ignorance of this important component of the director/firm relationship by the firms might render directors less willing to contribute and deprive firms of the strong support and engagement of their directors. Lack of recognition of this additional component to the fabric of an enduring committed relationship between external directors and their firms may require a different behavior of firms during the recruitment, board induction training and maintenance of the director relationship. While the strong expression of interest by SMEs in additional independent directors is a welcome sign of rising governance standards in New Zealand’s large group of such enterprises, concern emerges about the potential lack of competence by directors in several areas of governance. While directors appear to compensate for deficiencies in skills with an extra dose of commitment, significant needs for upskilling exists in this sector. It is noted that the absence of well-established, easily accessible and comprehensive director training schemes in New Zealand conflicts with the expected large number of additional independent director recruitments in the near future. Shareholders, senior managers and directors report a need for diversity on boards in the area of business experience, but no specific concern is expressed as to how any specific importance of gender or age while other factors, such as work experience and global knowledge, are of much greater interest. This could indicate that the status quo of only a small number of women on boards in New Zealand is accepted, but in the context of this work more likely indicates that directors will not be recruited (or excluded from recruitment) in the future on the basis of gender. This research attempts to lay groundwork for a more intensive investigation into the true motivations of company directors when they think of an independent director mandate and while they discharge directorship duties. There now appears to be solid evidence that the historic application of agency theory does not completely describe the…

▼ This thesis contributes to a field of scholarly research that seems to be receiving increasing attention, especially in recent times, although one has to acknowledge that there is still a severe lack of understanding. It is generally believed that the vast majority of research is still focused on large corporations, given their visibility and individual impact on the society, and this is particularly true in the re-search on sustainability and responsibility. In the course of this work, an extensive review of the relevant literature was conducted, including a holistic systematic analysis of a sample of leading small business and entrepreneurship journals, fol-lowed by an in-depth, narrative review based on a much broader selection of articles from various sources. The review revealed that there is little research on sustainability and responsibility in SMEs in Germany and that the vast majority of this research is quantitative in nature. The aim of this research is to, thus, develop an in-depth understanding of the sustainability and responsibility engagement of manufacturing SMEs in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg and, hence, also present and analyse the views of the participants in this research. Manufacturing SMEs were selected as the focal sample as the sector is very important to the regional community and it can be assumed that, given the nature of their operations, they are in some ways engaged in sustainability activities. For this reason, an interview-study with 30 participants from the SME sector was conducted, underpinned by an interpretive research paradigm. The interviewees included owner-managers (OMs) and managing directors (MDs) from a purposively created sample of SMEs. It must be noted that the focus is not on addressing some CSR role models, but on the ‘ordinary’ SME in-stead. The findings of this research are multifaceted. It was found that many SMEs in the sample tend to follow an extreme, long-term perspective based on a special ethos or values, such as fairness, honesty and trust. There seems to be a consider-able reservation towards the business principles of large corporations. The re-search provides an in-depth discussion on various sustainability dimensions identified in the data. This includes embeddedness in the local community, which varies considerably between the participating firms; focus on employees, which tendsto be seen as the most important resource, and caring for them is for most participants an essential point; and engagement in environmental issues, which tends to be of lower importance for participants except in the case of practices that directly lead to positive economic results. Overall, the research identifies that economic considerations dominate the worldview of participants. However, firms are not considered instruments of short-term profits; instead, natural, long-term development of firms is the overall goal. The research additionally finds that some SMEs in the sample are motivated to find a balance between informal and formal management approaches. In…

▼ During the selection of my thesis’s topic, I tried to drop my choice to an area that is closely related to my studies, to fit my interests and show actualities with the current economic policy both at EU and Hungarian level. As a result, my thesis is written about a tender in relation with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The purpose of my thesis is making an economic analysis regarding to the winner applicants in Debrecen for the tender of North Great Plain Operational Programme in 2009 (ÉAOP 2009). In my analysis, I approach the businesses’ economic indicators through the intended effects of the tender. During my study, the annual reports of the winner applicants were used between the period of 2008-2012. The implementations of the projects were the period of 2010-2011, so the examined data reflect the economic situation of SMEs before the tender, and after as well. According to my hypothesis, the intended effects of the tender can be demonstrated through the changes, which happened in investigated SMEs’ asset structure, efficiency, and profitability indicators. In my thesis, primary and secondary researches were carried out as well. Processing of literature review presents the results of my secondary research. During my primary research the annual reports of the companies were analyzed, on the other hand, in-depth interviews are trying to verify my results. During my examination, I have got the following results. In connection with expansion and modernization of premises, it is demonstrable, that winner SMEs on ÉAOP 2009 tender have improved their fixed assets growth ratio, and this process have continued after the investment period, which connected to the tender. The result is verified by in-depth interviews, as well. Based on my research related to the increase of competitiveness, it is demonstrable, that most of the winner SMEs on ÉAOP 2009 tender has increased value-added production between 2008-2012. Even so reduction has occurred related to value-added production per capita. Due to this, we can not talk about the growth of competitiveness. Based on my analyses, the winner SMEs on ÉAOP 2009 tender has increased or maintained the employment level. However, profitability of labour expense ratio has shown reduction. In-depth interviews, the respondents from SMEs claimed that commitment related to maintain employment level has caused huge difficulties for companies. As a result, I conclude, that the ÉAOP 2009 tender was inappropriate tool to maintain the employment level. During on my research it was concluded, that capitalization ratio of the winner SMEs in Debrecen on ÉAOP 2009 tender has reduced. Advisors/Committee Members: Csajbók, Ildikó (advisor).

▼ The importance of e-commerce for SMEs has been well established. However, it remains an area of strategic concern amongst organisations across all industries. Furthermore, there is distinct lack of strategic planning in the majority of SMEs. Performance measurement has been identified as an important mechanism for making strategic decisions and it has been suggested that organisations align their strategic planning with their performance measurement systems. However, a large percentage of SMEs have no formal performance measurement systems in place. This has therefore been identified as a potential growth area for SMEs on which the success of the informal sectors depends.Despite the importance of SMEs throughout all economies, to-date limited research has been conducted on SMEs and e-commerce performance measurement. The aim of the present study was to investigate the manner in which the lack of e-commerce performance measurement is influencing the effective management of SMEs in the Western Cape province of South Africa. To achieve this aim, an electronic survey, investigating various aspects of e-commerce performance measurement, was compiled and sent via electronic mail to SMEs of various industries in the Western Cape. A total of 31 SMEs responded. Results indicated that the majority (67.7%) of SMEs in the Western Cape were not currently measuring their e-commerce performance. It was, however, considered highly important to a large percentage of the respondents and 65% of the respondents indicated that they do plan to measure e-commerce performance in the future; however, they need to overcome a number of obstacles to do so. These obstacles were identified and a list of e-commerce performance measurement critical success factors was compiled to guide SMEs in future strategic planning.The present research has proved that SMEs in the Western Cape Province of South Africa are no different from the rest of the world in that they are lagging behind their larger counterparts in terms of e-commerce performance measurement and therefore are lagging behind in terms of strategic concern and the ultimate growth of the organisation is therefore at risk. E-commerce performance measurement is thus an important area that SMEs need to align with their organisations‟ strategy.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) the world over form the bedrock of economic growth because of their ability to respond to the systemic economic shocks rapidly and their potential to generate jobs and income at the time when the large firm sector is undergoing a rapid decline and shedding jobs. The construction industry which is numerically dominated by SMEs is a strategic asset for employment generation, poverty reduction, redistribution of wealth and improvement in quality of life due to its forward and backward linkages with other sectors of the economy. Studies on the growth of SMEs in the construction industry in developing countries and Ghana in particular, have been generally scanty. However for SMEs to be well positioned to make the much needed economic impact there is the need to understand the factors that influence their growth so that policy guidelines can be formulated accordingly. Thus this study sought to identify key factors that influence the growth of Small and Medium Scale Contractors (SMSC) in Ghana and a model for predicting their growth developed thereof. The study adopted a mixed research approach where preliminary interviews were conducted and subsequently the resource base theory of business growth was adopted in developing questionnaires which were answered by SMSC in Ghana. The data from the quantitative survey was analyzed using multiple regression analysis (stepwise option). An R2 value of 0.619 was realized, suggesting that 61.9% of growth of SMSC in Ghana is accounted for by the findings. The findings show that lack of government support, unprofessional conduct of consultants, Delayed payment for work done, High staff turnover, Low educational level of contractor and Poor management expertise all show negative correlation with the growth of SMSC and thus tend to impede the growth. The findings also show that absence of politics in contracting, upgrading staff, availability of capital, comparing performance with peers in the industry all show positive correlation with the growth of SMSC and thus tend to enhance growth. The findings provide empirical evidence for adoption by policy makers and SMSC in Ghana that could enhance growth of SMSC.

Dans le cadre de cette thèse doctorale, intitulée « Titrisation en droit lituanien : théorie et pratique », le phénomène de titrisation est apprécié vis-à-vis du droit lituanien. Pour pouvoir identifier la place du phénomène de titrisation au sein du système de droit lituanien, tout d'abord, sont analysés le stade de développement du droit financier et son autonomie vis-à-vis d'autres branches du droit, notamment, du droit civil et du droit des finances publiques. L'étude révèle que même si les éléments importants d'autonomie du droit financier sont présents, l'autonomie définitive de cette branche du droit n'est pas encore achevée. Cela est principalement dû à l'absence de clarté des limites entre le droit financier et le droit civil. La titrisation n'étant pas expressément réglementée par le droit lituanien, elle est qualifiée en tant qu'ensemble contractuel – phénomène émanant du droit civil. À la suite de la qualification des contrats de l'opération de titrisation en tant qu’ensemble contractuel, la structure, les limites et le contenu d'un tel ensemble sont identifiés. La suite de l'étude révèle les effets qu'une qualification évoquée pourrait porter sur les contrats de l'opération de titrisation. Notamment, les effets entre les contrats de l'ensemble et les « contractants extrêmes » sont appréciés. La deuxième partie de l'étude estconsacrée aux aspects pratiques de la mise en oeuvre des opérations de titrisation des actifs des PME en Lituanie. Notamment, il est démontré qu'il est possible de réaliser des opérations de titrisation des actifs des PME dans le cadre réglementaire lituanien actuel. Pourtant, une telle mise en oeuvre serait fortement encombrée par le cadreréglementaire, qui n'est pas adapté à ce type de montages juridico-financiers. Des propositions respectives quant aux modifications du cadre réglementaire lituanien sont faites.

In this doctor thesis, entitled “Securitisation Under Lithuanian Law: Theory and Practice”, the phenomenon of securitisation is analysed in respect of Lithuanian law. In order to identify the place of the phenomenon of securitisation within the legalsystem of Lithuania, firstly the state of development of the financial law and its autonomy with respect to other branches of law, such as civil law and public finance law, were analysed. The research revealed that despite the presence of importantelements, proving the autonomy of the financial law, its complete autonomy is note yet achieved. This is basically due to the absence of clarity as to the limits between the financial law and the civil law. As securitisation is not specifically regulated bythe Lithuanian law, it was qualified as a group of related contracts – phenomenon of the civil law. After qualifying of securitisation as a group of related contracts, the structure, limits and contents of such group of related contracts were identified. Further studies revealed the effects that such qualification could make on the contracts of the securitisation transaction. In particular, the effects of such qualification among…

▼ Buro Koos is an Amsterdam based strategic design consultancy firm, which helps companies in various industries with innovation on product, service and communication level. Buro Koos experienced firsthand that often small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are skeptical of hiring an external company for innovation advice. This project was in line with this observation, and strived to develop an innovation strategy tool for Buro Koos which is specifically targeted on SMEs. An extensive research has been performed were the character and working methods of Buro Koos, the needs and whishes of SMEs and best practices of competitor tools were analyzed. This research resulted in a set of opportunities which were used in the development of a new tool. A tool was developed and tested thoroughly in two test cases. Based on the results of the test cases the tool was optimized which resulted in the: the KIST (Koos Innovatie Strategy Traject). The KIST is a standardized tool which consists out of four phases (workshops). These four phases primarily derive from the COBRA model of Buro Koos, which is the theoretical backbone of the company. The four phases together ensure a holistic approach, which according to Buro Koos, is the best way to develop successful innovations on product, service and communication level. 1: Who are we and what makes us unique? In the first phase the aspects which make the clients business really unique are explored. What are their strengths? Why do they do the things they do? How do they make a difference? What value do they add to their customer’s life? 2: Who are our customers and what do they want? From knowledge that is already available, customer segments are constructed based on motivations, context and needs. These segments are then brought to life with personas. 3: Identifying opportunity domains In the third phase multiple opportunity domains are constructed, Opportunity domains are promising areas where the strengths and values of a company match the needs and whishes of their customer(s). 4: Exploring and refining opportunity domains All opportunity domains are prioritized in a roadmap and the first opportunity domain is further explored. A customer journey map is used to identify which touchpoints are under performing and how these can be improved (e.g. new product). The KIST is a tool specifically targeted on companies with limited financial resources. Because the KIST is a standardized tool time is saved preparing and facilitating the workshops. This has as a result the KIST can be sold for a relative low price which makes it financial accessible for especially SMEs. The KIST contains no research and is purely based on knowledge that is embedded in the client (and Buro Koos). The KIST makes explicit, what is implicitly already there, turns it around, structures it and hands it back to the company in easy to use posters, models and tools. The end result of the KIST can be summarized in the following five points: • Direction and inspiration for future innovation efforts • A holistic… Advisors/Committee Members: Buijs, J.A., Van der Meer, J.D., Van Oeveren, R.J..

▼ Crowdfunding is an emerging financial instrument, which can roughly be described as a phenomenon where a large number of financial contributions are made to support specific initiatives or enterprises in an online environment. The form can be a donation, prefinancing a product or service or in return of a financial reward. The latter form is also known as crowdfinancing. A growing number of startup companies are looking into new sources of finance, such as crowdfinancing, as they experience low entrance to traditional financial resources. The goal of this research is to discover the motivations of entrepreneurs to choose for crowdfinancing and to define their preferred crowdfinancing value proposition, from the point of view of the entrepreneur and the crowdfinancing platform. First, a case study among five Dutch crowdfinancing platforms is conducted, using interviews with the founders of these platforms and internet data research. The aim of this is to sketch their view on the current value proposition of the crowdfinancing platforms towards entrepreneurs. Second, four entrepreneur using two of these crowdfinancing platforms are interviewed to uncover their motives to choose for this method of acquiring capital. Third, the results of former interviews were processed and used as input for setting up a questionnaire, which is filled out by a sample of 25 predominantly innovative for-profit startups. Fourth, the results are used to validate the crowdfinancing value proposition on a larger scale, and are compared with other research in this field. The main findings are: (1) Strong reasons use crowdfinancing are: an extra opportunity for capital, company PR, lower cost of financing, addressing new customers, obtaining engaged investors, market validation and participating in something innovative. (2) Conditions that discourage crowdfinancing the most are when the crowd gets direct influence in the company e.g. in the case of equity or when the entrepreneur is personally liable for the financing, which may be required in the case of debt. (3) Demotivators and dissatisfiers of crowdfinancing arise when entrepreneurs think that the customers of a company are not the same as the ones who might invest through crowdfinancing or when their intellectual property cannot be protected. (4) The preferred financial participations in a crowdfinancing context by the entrepreneurs are prefinancing a product or service in combination with either loans or revenue shares. (5) Three out of four entrepreneurs in the sample intend to make use of a crowdfinancing platform in the future; they expect facilitation of contracts, transactions and selection and screening of companies as a service.

▼ This PhD is an exploratory study examining the current cost accounting systems and key indicators in SMEs in Germany. The study is based on a survey and interviews with SME managers. Data are collected that provide information on the extent to which SME managers use their cost accounting and key indicators to obtain sound facts as the basis for their business decisions. On the one hand, this is about determining the current situation in German SMEs. On the other hand, the collected data should shed light on what information SME managers would like to have to support their work. In addition, it is being examined whether the target group of SMEs in the development of cost accounting and performance indicator systems is clearly addressed in economics. The aim of the research is to develop key indicators and a cost accounting system that is tailored to the specific needs of SMEs in Germany. In addition, the current scientific state of these two areas will be examined in a Literature Review. It also provides information on the extent to which SMEs are different from large companies, and whether these types of businesses are so different that a specialized cost accounting and key indicator system is justified and necessary for SMEs. For the development of a special system of cost accounting and the individual key figures, both quantitative and qualitative data are collected and analyzed. The results show that the way SMEs and large companies work differs significantly. Different levels of technology, different financing options on the capital market or the concentration of many tasks on a small number of employees in SMEs require different strategies than in large companies. A clear reference to the target group of SMEs often lacks in economics. In addition, research often lacks suggestions as to how the theoretical models can actually be put into practice. This is an access barrier for many SME managers, even though they are aware of the importance of tools that help them in planning, management and monitoring. The data collected has resulted in a cost accounting system and a set of indicators that can map the most pressing needs of SMEs managers, but at the same time, it is kept to a minimum so as not to overburden SME managers when implementing and running the system.

▼ This study focuses on the success the Zimbabwe government policies and strategies in addressing the challenges faced by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Harare, Zimbabwe. The study was conducted with a view to developing a policy and strategy framework for promoting the development of SMEs in Harare, Zimbabwe. Harare, the capital city of Zimbabwe, was used as a study site. Pragmatism constituted the research philosophy for the study. The study adopted a case study design in which SMEs in Harare were studied. The mixed-methods approach was employed, along with concurrent triangulation. SMEs, officials from the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises and Co-operative Development (MSMECD), officials from the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Corporation (SMEDCO) and academics from three state universities in Harare constituted the population under study. The study employed purposive and stratified sampling techniques. Stratified random sampling was employed, in which the SMEs were divided into three strata: primary, secondary and tertiary. Purposive sampling was used to select the officials from the MSMECD and SMEDCO, as well as the key informants from three state universities in Harare. The study used a sample of six business advisors from SMEDCO and another six from the MSMECD. A sample of 382 SMEs was selected for the collection of empirical data using questionnaires. Of the 382 distributed questionnaires, 344 were returned, representing a response rate of 90 %. Primary data was gathered using questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Questionnaires were administered to the SMEs, while in-depth interviews were conducted with the officials from SMEDCO and the MSMECD, as well as key informants from the three state universities. Documents were employed as secondary sources of data for the study. The quantitative data collected through the questionnaires was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The data was presented using figures, tables, graphs, pie charts, and percentages. The IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 was used to analyse the quantitative data. SPSS was also used to calculate the Cronbach’s alpha. The alpha coefficient ranged from 0.729 to 0.878, indicating that the questionnaire was a reliable data collection instrument. Content analysis was employed in the analysis of the qualitative data gathered from the in-depth interviews. The intention was to achieve an adequate and detailed analysis of the data in order to obtain sufficient information relating to the challenges faced by SMEs in Harare, the vii government policies and strategies employed to address these challenges, and the success of the policies and strategies. The findings of the study showed that SMEs in Harare are confronted with challenges which include limited access to funding, limited access to markets, a lack of technical and management skills, antiquated machinery and equipment, increasing competition in the market, infrastructural challenges, and restrictive government laws and… Advisors/Committee Members: Fields, Ziska.
