Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small businesses play a significant role in economic development and growth in the United States and their vital importance in the American economy has prompted federal and state governments and private organizations to implement various programs to facilitate small business creation and expansion. Together, the small business assistance programs may exert significant impact on the entrepreneurial activities and profiles of small business owners in the United States. Yet our understanding is limited about the effects of these small business assistance programs, the features that make programs effective, and who benefits from the programs. This study documents the most important public and private programs designed to promote self-employment and small business creation, critically examines the existing research on the effect of those programs, and identifies new directions for future research on this topic. The authors find that business and self-employment assistance programs are heterogeneous in the sense that a multiplicity of programs serve a diverse clientele, are designed to meet varied needs, and are dispersed across geographic locations. Our understanding of the effects of business assistance programs is far from complete and the methodological challenges in identifying the effect of business assistance programs on business outcomes are, in part, a result of data limitations and the lack of experimental design in program evaluations. Thus few studies are able to identify a causal relationship between small business assistance programs and business creation and subsequent economic performance of assisted small firms. Moreover, the body of research has yet to identify the essential characteristics of effective small business assistance programs such as the optimal services to provide, what works best for whom or in what geographic locale, and how program effects relate to program costs. They identify several potential strategies that may be used with existing data to advance our understanding of program impacts. Combined with greater use of experimental methods, the evidence base can be extended to support sound policy decisions regarding the future of such programs.

Download or read book The State Small Business Credit Initiative SSBCI written by Marcus Powell and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SSBCI provides funding to states, territories, and eligible municipalities to expand existing or to create new state small business investment programs, including state capital access programs, collateral support programs, loan participation programs, loan guarantee programs, and venture capital programs. This book examines the SSBCI and its implementation, including Treasury's response to initial program audits conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office and Treasury's Office of Inspector General. These audits suggested that SSBCI participants were generally complying with the statute's requirements, but that some compliance problems existed, in that, the Treasury's oversight of the program could be improved; and performance measures were needed to assess the program's efficacy.

Download or read book Surviving Supply Chain Integration written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-03-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The managed flow of goods and information from raw material to final sale also known as a "supply chain" affects everythingâ€"from the U.S. gross domestic product to where you can buy your jeans. The nature of a company's supply chain has a significant effect on its success or failureâ€"as in the success of Dell Computer's make-to-order system and the failure of General Motor's vertical integration during the 1998 United Auto Workers strike. Supply Chain Integration looks at this crucial component of business at a time when product design, manufacture, and delivery are changing radically and globally. This book explores the benefits of continuously improving the relationship between the firm, its suppliers, and its customers to ensure the highest added value. This book identifies the state-of-the-art developments that contribute to the success of vertical tiers of suppliers and relates these developments to the capabilities that small and medium-sized manufacturers must have to be viable participants in this system. Strategies for attaining these capabilities through manufacturing extension centers and other technical assistance providers at the national, state, and local level are suggested. This book identifies action steps for small and medium-sized manufacturersâ€"the "seed corn" of business start-up and developmentâ€"to improve supply chain management. The book examines supply chain models from consultant firms, universities, manufacturers, and associations. Topics include the roles of suppliers and other supply chain participants, the rise of outsourcing, the importance of information management, the natural tension between buyer and seller, sources of assistance to small and medium-sized firms, and a host of other issues. Supply Chain Integration will be of interest to industry policymakers, economists, researchers, business leaders, and forward-thinking executives.

Download or read book Small Business Management and Technical Assistance Training Programs written by Congressional Research Congressional Research Service and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the historical development of federal small business management and technical assistance training programs; describes their current structures, operations, and budgets; and assesses their administration and oversight and the measures used to determine their effectiveness. It also discusses legislation considered during the 114th Congress to improve program performance and oversight, including * P.L. 114-88, the Recovery Improvements for Small Entities After Disaster Act of 2015 (RISE After Disaster Act of 2015), which, among other things, authorizes the SBA to provide up to two years of additional funding to its resource partners to assist small businesses located in a presidentially declared major disaster area and authorizes SBDCs to provide assistance outside the SBDC's state, without regard to geographical proximity to the SBDC, if the small business is in a presidentially declared major disaster area. This assistance can be provided "for a period of not more than two years after the date on which the President" has declared the area a major disaster. * H.R. 207, the Developing the Next Generation of Small Businesses Act of 2016, which, as ordered to be reported by the House Committee on Small Business on March 23, 2016, includes the Small Business Development Centers Improvement Act of 2016, the Women's Business Centers Improvements Act of 2016, and the SCORE for Small Business Act of 2016. The bill would require the SBA to only use authorized entrepreneurial development programs (SCORE, WBCs, SBDCs, etc.) "to deliver entrepreneurial development services, entrepreneurial education, business incubation services, growth acceleration services, support for the development and maintenance of clusters, or business training"; add data collection and reporting requirements for SBDCs; authorize to be appropriated $21.75 million for WBCs for each of FY2017-FY2020 (WBCs were appropriated $17 million in FY2016); increase the WBC annual grant award from not more than $150,000 to not more than $185,000 (adjusted annually to reflect change in inflation); authorize the award of an additional $65,000 to WBCs under specified circumstances; authorize the SBA to waive, in whole or in part, the WBC nonfederal matching requirement for up to two consecutive fiscal years under specified circumstances; modify SCORE program requirements with respect to the role of participating volunteers, program plans and goals, and reporting; authorize to be appropriated $10.5 million for SCORE in each of FY2017 and FY2018; and add language concerning the provision and reporting of online counseling by SCORE. * H.R. 2670 the Microloan Modernization Act of 2015, and its Senate companion bill (S. 1857), which would, among other provisions, require the SBA administrator to establish a rule enabling intermediaries to apply for a waiver to the requirement that no more than 25% of Microloan technical assistance grant funds may be used to provide technical assistance to prospective borrowers. This report also discusses legislation introduced in the Senate concerning SBDCs (S. 999, the Small Business Development Centers Improvement Act of 2015), WBCs (S. 2126, the Women's Small Business Ownership Act of 2015), and SCORE (S. 1000, the SCORE for Small Business Act of 2015).
