Il sostegno alle imprese

2021

Il capitolo indaga il variegato e complesso sistema del sostegno pubblico alle imprese. In questa ottica, innanzitutto si prende in considerazione l’impatto delle crisi economiche sulle politiche di ausilio pubblico alle attività produttive. Successivamente si descrivono gli elementi di contesto con cui le politiche di incentivazione dei poteri pubblici devono fare i conti, ossia le sfide della globalizzazione economica e il quadro di regolazione dell’Unione europea, con il ruolo preminente che può essere svolto dagli istituti nazionali di promozione.

Business intelligence requirements in small sized enterprises

2016

Pienet ja keskisuuret yritykset keräävät nykyisin suuren määrän tietoa ja ovat kiinnostuneet Business Intelligencestä (BI), liiketoimintatiedon hallinnasta, pärjätäkseen kilpailussa liiketoimintaympäristössä. PK-yritykset ovat merkittäviä paikallisessa, kansallisessa ja jopa globaalissa mittakaavassa, sillä ne muodostavat ison osan taloudesta. Siitä huolimatta on tutkittu hyvin vähän sitä, minkälaisia vaatimuksia ja tarpeita näillä yrityksillä on BI:tä kohtaan. Tämän Pro gradu -tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää näitä vaatimuksia kvalitatiivisessa tutkimuksessa teema- ja puolistrukturoidulla haastatteluilla. Yhdistävä tekijä BI-termistössä ja näkökulmissa on, se että kaikissa määrityksiss…

Environmental Management Systems (Ems) - Control Instrument of the Impact of the Organization Activities on the Environment

2015

Abstract Due to the ability to create and use technology, the human being has found various ways to transform the resources of the Earth in all sorts of new materials, equipment and energy sources. At least since the last industrial revolution until now, each generation has added more technology to the received legacy, but at the same time, left the planet in a far more degraded state than the inherited condition. Within these changes, small and medium enterprises (SME) in their capacity as pillars of the economic development of a nation, have been compelled to change their previous strategies. Implementing an Environmental Management Systems (EMS) can be seen as the only way to connect the…

Les déterminants de la complexité des systèmes d’information comptables des dirigeants de PME : contingences culturelles et endogénéité

2018

Le premier objectif est d’étudier le lien entre les dimensions de la culture nationale et la complexité des systèmes d’information comptables (SIC) des dirigeants de PME. Le second est de contribuer au débat sur la présence potentielle de biais d’endogénéité dans les précédentes études réalisées sur le thème. Une régression multiple et un test d’Hausman ont été mobilisés en utilisant les réponses de 276 dirigeants de PME françaises, tunisiennes et syriennes. Les quatre dimensions de la culture proposées par Hofstede sont des déterminants significatifs de la complexité des SIC. Le test d’Hausman révèle que l’existence d’endogénéité est peu plausible.

Déterminants de la viabilité financière des PME

2020

To be interested in the survival of SME (small and medium-sized enterprises) is to question their ability to create rent and therefore their financial viability. Our panel study on French SMEs, between 2000 and 2018, shows that several factors play a different role in the annuity creation process. If the effectiveness of state governance seems to play a negative role, through the policies put in place, it turns out that debt plays a positive role in the wealth creation process of SME. Given the nature of the goods or service activities, the impact of suppliers and customers is different. In any case, SME in France suffer from a problem of generation renewal and transmission of knowledge whi…

Contributions Regarding the Utilization of Neural Networks in SME's Management

2014

Due to the fact that there isnt a clear definition of the terms neural network" and "neuronal network" [1,2], the current paper aims to establish it by a range of comparative research. With the help of some charts, based on the structure of some SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises), the parts that define the structure of the neuron will be compared with the general structure of an organization, in order to reproduce the neuron in the structuring level of an organization and give a meaning to the term of "organizational neuron. Sometimes it is necessary to take managerial decisions under uncertainty and / or risk, so any method that gives forecasting information to the manager is welcome [3,4…
