The main goal of this paper is to present and discuss talent management (TM) in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Despite the fact that the number of articles covering the issue is rising, the context of SMEs is still underresearched. Thus, this paper can be a valuable source of information for both researchers and practitioners interested in the subject. In the article, the data gathered from 200 Polish SMEs were used. Information covering TM practices in SMEs was obtained using structured interviews conducted with SME owners or managers.

Celem tego artykułu jest zaprezentowanie praktyk zarządzania talentami (ZT), występujących w małych i średnich przedsiębiorstwach (MŚP), a następnie dokonanie ich krytycznej analizy z uwzględnieniem dostępnej wiedzy w tym obszarze. Pomimo rosnącej liczby publikacji z zakresu ZT, zarówno w Polsce, jak i na świecie, kontekst małych i przedsiębiorstw wciąż nie jest uwzględniany w wystarczającym stopniu. Z tego względu artykuł ten może stanowić źródło cennych informacji zarówno dla naukowców, jak i praktyków zarządzania. W artykule wykorzystano dane pochodzące z 200 firm działających w Polsce. Informacje pozyskano na podstawie wywiadu kwestionariuszowego, przeprowadzonego z właścicielami lub menedżerami zarządzającymi.

The article shows that the share of Polish SMEs in export is lower than the number of enterprises in the Polish economy and the number of people working in SME. This situation is a result of the influence of many factors – both endogenous and exogenous – mainly due to the lack of export policy in Poland. The effect of international research and comparisons is to check the research hypothesis. The main objective of article is to formulate recommendations based on international research and comparisons which may contribute to an increase of the importance of Polish SMEs as exporters. The paper was written on the basis of the literature studies in the field of internationalization of enterprises and statistical data illustrating the SME sector in Poland and selected EU countries.

PL

W artykule wykazano, że udział polskich MŚP w eksporcie jest niższy niż udział tych przedsiębiorstw zarówno w ogólnej liczbie przedsiębiorstw, jak i liczbie zatrudnionych. Sytuacja ta jest wynikiem oddziaływania wielu czynników o charakterze endogenicznym i egzogenicznym. Efektem badań i porównań międzynarodowych jest sprawdzenie hipotezy badawczej, tzn. wykazano, że w strukturze MŚP – w porównaniu z wartościami przeciętnymi dla krajów (EU-28) – tkwią niewykorzystane możliwości rozwoju polskiej gospodarki. Realizacja celu pracy znalazła wyraz w sformułowaniu rekomendacji, których spełnienie może przyczynić się do wzrostu znaczenia polskich MŚP jako eksporterów, a pośrednio do rozwoju gospodarczego kraju. Artykuł został napisany na podstawie studiów literatury z zakresu umiędzynarodowienia przedsiębiorstw i analizy danych liczbowych dotyczących udziału małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw w Polsce oraz w wybranych krajach UE.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of SMEs on job creation in the WB6 countries (North Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Serbia). During the last two decades, the countries in the Western Balkans region have faced different economic challenges, including employment-related issues and the question of who is in fact the creator of new jobs in this region. The paper employs explanatory methodology, through analysis of the statistical data collected in the Enterprise Survey conducted by the World Bank Group. The data analyzed covers three periods, i.e., year 1 (2009), year 2 (2013), year 3 (2019). The surveys were administered to a representative sample of 5358 firms in the non-agricultural, formal, private sectors, including small, medium and large enterprises. The paper concludes that the most widespread type of business activity in the Wester Balkan countries are SMEs, which tend to employ more than large enterprises, with an average share of 45%-77%, by which they contribute more to new job creation, compared to large enterprises, and are indeed the ones reducing job scarcity and exhibiting a smaller share in job shrinkage. The implications arising from the paper are twofold, i.e., they can inspire both the academic and researcher circles to analyze even further the impact of SMEs, by including additional measuring indicators as well the policy makers to revise the policy of assisting SMEs in any means possible. The paper fills the gap in the existing literature dealing with the impact of SMEs on job creation in the WB region. The relevance of this research stands in fact that the study addresses the impact and relevance of SMEs’ job creation in countries known for their long transition period.

Sector of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is significant in every market economy. Small and medium-sized enterprises are generally considered as an element powering the economy despite the economic slowdown in Poland and turbulences in the economies of Member States of the European Union. Micro-enterprises have the largest share of enterprises belonging to the SME sector - in Poland, they consist of 95.7% of the market (in the European Union - 92.2%). This sector produces a significant portion of GDP and generates numerous workplaces. Their share in the GDP over 5 years remains at similar level and amounts to 48.5%. However, SMEs are often confronted with market imperfections. They have difficulties in obtaining capital or credit, particularly in the start-up phase of the enterprise. Financial resources are their foundation. What is more, they are the basis for the operation of each enterprise. In Poland, there are various possibilities of obtaining financing sources; however, their variety does not imply that all parties have equal access to these resources. Currently, the most important source of funding, in addition to equity capitals, are bank credits. The aim of this paper is to present a credit offer for enterprises beginning an economic activity by selected institutions of the Polish banking sector.

The purpose of this comparative study is to explore the differences in the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) between micro versus small and medium enterprises (SMEs). We have selected three dimensions of EO (proactiveness, competitive aggressiveness and autonomy) for our analysis. We have analyzed the data collected from 1141 respondents during the period of 2015 from 14 regions of the Czech Republic, which consists of 740 micro firms and 401 small and medium firms. Empirical results of our paper show significant differences between micro versus small and medium enterprises in terms of proactiveness and autonomy. However, we can only partially confirm that micro firms are statistically different from the SMEs in terms of competitive aggressiveness. Thus, our paper enables better understanding of the EO from the firm size perspective, when they have different levels of resources.
