BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT QUALITY FACTORS RESEARCH - SME MANAGEMENT´S PLATFORM

The aim of our study was to identify the most important factors that shape the quality of the business environment and define the areas for improvement. As part of empirical research, we approached over 9,400 companies in the SMEs segment and obtained 329 applicable questionnaires. The research has shown that the biggest negative impact on the quality of the SMEs business environment is due to factors closely related to the public sector. We found that there were statistically significant differences in the opinions of entrepreneurs according to defined parameters. The results of our study can support the creation of a platform for decision-making mechanisms enabling the improvement of conditions for the development of business, stability and quality of the business environment in Slovakia. They will also support the development of national and international benchmarks in the area of SMEs development. © 2019, Czestochowa University of Technology. All rights reserved.
