| Abstract [eng] |
The article deals with criteria for the government support to SME efficiency. A methodology of government support efficiency evaluation based on sustainability criteria is proposed. The criteria for selection of SME support measures should address all dimensions of sustainable development: social, economic and environmental. The methodology can be applied on country, region or enterprise level. Economic indicators for support effectiveness evaluation on enterprise level include the positive changes in financial indicators of a company on receiving support. Social indicators on such level are the new jobs created and the increase of income. Environmental indicators such as pollutant emission reductions in an enterprise allow to evaluate the social effect of support. Therefore, a complex system of indicators needs to be developed to evaluate the efficiency of support provided to SMS according to economic, social and environmental criteria. The system of sustainability criteria may be applied on a country level and include more general indicators such as: GDP growth, increase of employment, higher real income of population, decrease of inequality of income, pollution reduction in the country, etc. |
