It is becoming increasingly difficult to overlook the importance of the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector in the economic and social development of a country. In view of their identified importance, this study aims to develop a better understanding of the factors that influence success and performance in small and medium enterprises in Malaysia, as perceived by owners and/or managers. The research framework, which was derived from a systematic literature review, was carefully analyzed, observed and investigated using a two (2) stage design, which incorporated both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The justification behind the two (2) stage methodology was mainly to avoid common method bias and, furthermore, seek to clarify findings arising from the survey by providing individual insights. Approaches were adopted in succession with the findings from the quantitative phase which in turn informs the qualitative phase. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have an important role to play in the development of a country. A strong SME sector contributes highly to the economy, contributing to the gross domestic product, by reducing the level of unemployment, reduction in poverty levels and promotion of entrepreneurship activity. Therefore, the success of this sector determines economic status of the economy of Malaysia which is dependent on a number of factors.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the Government of Malaysia has become increasing aware of the significant contribution of small medium enterprises (SMEs) to the national economy. A number of Government programmes and incentives were offered to the SMEs in the past years but with limited impact. This lecture touches on the nature and contribution of the Malaysian SMEs in the first five years of the 21st century. An attempt was made to identify the success factors and weaknesses of SMEs from official reports of Government agencies, and findings of research studies on the subject. Recognising the challenges posed by globalisation and trade liberalisation on the Malaysian SMEs, the Government revamped its policies, programmes, incentives, and approaches which are currently implemented in the Ninth Malaysian Plan and the Third Industrial Master Plan. The objective is to enhance the SMEs' capacity and capabilities through continuous product development, knowledge and technology acquisition to empower them to compete with other global players offering high quality products and services at competitive prices.

This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful startups and small businesses can play a significant role in economic growth and job creation. They also contribute to economic dynamism by spurring innovation and injecting competition. Startups are known to introduce new products and services that can create new value in the economy. It is notable that most startups exit within their first ten years, and most surviving young businesses do not grow but remain small. Startups and small businesses face several obstacles to their development. Accessing capital is a crucial constraint on their growth. Most startups and small businesses have difficulties getting the funds they need because of their lack of a performance track record and lack of collateral, making it difficult for lenders or investors to assess their risk. Besides, they are in the early stages of development and face a very high possibility of failure, which significantly raises financing and investment risk.Investment in Startups and Small Business Financing provides 12 thematic and case studies on new methods for bringing private investment (loans or equity) to startups and easing small businesses' access to finance (debt and capital). The contributors are senior-level policy experts and researchers from governments, think tanks, academia, and international organizations. The chapters are authored in a policy-oriented way to be understandable for the readers with a different background. This book is a precious source for the governments for adopting the right policies to develop small businesses and startups and valuable for the researchers in economics, business, and finance.

Download or read book Antecedents of Financial Practice for the Success of Small and Medium Enterprises SMEs written by S.M. Ferdous Azam and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world metaphorically has turned flat for the onslaught of globalization. While it has blurred the geographical divides, it has as well, as its corollary, spawned fierce competition among the enterprises in the marketplace. The competitive trade atmosphere has furnished the contemporary business industry intensely over its rivals and its ability to cope with multiple challenges to be successful, especially in terms of financial means. Although the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are considered as the backbone of economic growth of a country, however SMEs in Malaysia are noted with dismay due to unexpected business failures. Despite the fact that many scholarly works have been conducted in Malaysia, nevertheless, the strong influence of the antecedents of financial practice such as Financial Knowledge (FK) and Financial Behaviour (FB) toward Financial Practice (FP) as well as Business Success (BS) are yet to be realized pertinently. For that reason, the current study emphasizes a variety of detailed theoretical perspectives as well as the empirical foundations for achieving the research objectives. In fact, these theoretical and empirical platforms make the research feasible in the areas of Financial Knowledge (FK), Financial Behaviour (FB), Financial Practice (FP) and Business Success (BS) of Malaysian SMEs. The research method of this study is 'survey method' and the unit of analysis is the individual respondent consisting business owners and managers from various SMEs in Selangor and the greater Kuala Lumpur region. Although a suitable sample of 63 business owners and managers of different SMEs were selected for the pilot study, later on, a sample of 302 data was considered as the final sample size for the current study. Since this is a quantitative research, so the primary empirical findings are reported using SPSS (Version 18.0), and then detailed out various investigations using AMOS (Version 16.0) software for executing the suitable Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) analyses. Prior to conducting SEM, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) is performed to scrutinize the underlying dimensions of Financial Knowledge (FK), Financial Behaviour (FB), Financial Practice (FP) and Business Success (BS). Subsequently, the reliability analysis is checked via Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the four extracted factors for the purpose of ensuring the internal consistency. The results indicate that, although Financial Knowledge (FK) is positively related to the Financial Practice (FP) in Malaysian SMEs, but it is not directly related to the Business Success (BS). A similar phenomenon is observed in the Financial Behaviour (FB), which is positively related to the Financial Practice (FP) but not to the Business Success (BS) for the SMEs in Malaysia. Apart from these, the Financial Practice (FP) is found assertively allied to the Business Success (BS) while Financial Practice (FP) plays the mediating roles in the Financial Knowledge (FK) and Financial Behaviour (FB) toward Business Success (BS) in Malaysia. However, a reciprocal relationship is observed justifiably between Financial Knowledge (FK) and Financial Behaviour (FB). With these findings, the current study can fulfill the research objectives assembled in the initial chapter. Finally, this research will help to identify the requirements and solutions for finding out the policy to strengthen the enterprise and maximize the productivity and sustainable development.
