Item The role of markets in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and their assessment in the Republic of Moldova(Balkan Institute of Science and Innovation – BISI, Université Côte d’Azur, France, 2023) Vinogradova, NataliaThe availability of accessible markets contributes to increased sales and profit growth, stimulates competition, promotes innovation, and encourages economic integration. Some researchers even argue that the purpose of entrepreneurial ecosystems is to create and operate markets for entrepreneurship development. The article has two main objectives: (i) to define the role of markets as a component of the entrepreneurial ecosystem based on an analysis of various models of the entrepreneurial ecosystem’s structure; (ii) to assess some indicators, characterizing market as an ecosystem’s component in the Republic of Moldova. A survey of entrepreneurs carried out in 2022 in 25 regions of the Republic of Moldova, showed a relatively high level of competition and demand in the domestic market. However, the practice of cooperation with other enterprises is still not sufficiently developed. The majority of entrepreneurs assessed the market access factor negatively, especially since access to both the CIS and the EU markets is particularly difficult at present.Item Оценка бюрократии и коррупции в предпринимательской экосистеме Республики Молдова(2024) Vinogradova, NataliaIn this article, corruption and bureaucracy are considered as factors that are still inherent in the business environment of the Republic of Moldova. The country's government is currently developing legislative initiatives aimed at reducing the complexity of bureaucratic procedures for economic agents and is taking active measures to reduce corruption. But despite this, surveys of entrepreneurs indicate the frequency of phenomena associated with bureaucracy and corruption on the part of officials involved in regulating business activities. Assessments of these phenomena in the responses of various groups of entrepreneurs were considered, depending on the size of the enterprise, its location, and type of activity. Based on the analysis of the results of the survey of entrepreneurs, it was concluded that there is a direct connection between the high level of bureaucracy and corruption in the business environment of the Republic of Moldova and the decision of entrepreneurs to close their business or significantly reorganize it.Item Capitalul uman – factor esențial pentru dezvoltarea inovațională în ÎMM-urile din Republica Moldova(2024) Novac, AlexandraInnovation is a crucial element for competitive and sustainable business development. The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of human capital in innovation activity and to identify the challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises in the Republic of Moldova in this area. The methods and techniques used in the research include desk research, critical analysis, literature synthesis, and comparative analysis. The results of the research show that the main barriers related to human capital for innovation development in Moldovan enterprises are mainly related to the mismatch between the skills of human capital and the needs of employers, the availability of highly qualified human capital, the lack of personnel with specific specialisations, the massive emigration of the population, especially young people, and the decreasing number of students in science and technology.Item Retrospectiva dezvoltării întreprinderilor mici și mijlocii în Republica Moldova(Artifex, 2022) Tomsa, AureliaSmall and Medium-sized business exists as independent sector of the market economy, providing for the basic needs of the national economy.

The article examines the development trends of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Republic of Moldova in 2015–2021. The problems of the development of SMEs at the regional and national levels are revealed. An important difference from similar works on this topic is an attempt to prove that throughout the formation of SMEs, it has the same systemic problems. In conclusion, the article proposes measures to develop and support small and medium-sized enterprises.Item Рынки как компонент предпринимательской экосистемы(2023) Vinogradova, NataliaThe article aims to define the role of “Markets” as a component of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, as well as to evaluate some indicators of this component in relation to the Republic of Moldova. The assessment was based on the results of a survey of entrepreneurs, carried out within the framework of the applied research project “Multidimensional assessment and development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem at the national and regional level in order to boost the SME sector in the Republic of Moldova” (2020-2023) in the period of June-October, 2022. For the “Markets” component, a survey of entrepreneurs showed a slight excess of negative estimates over positive ones. The market opportunities of enterprises are characterized by a fairly high level of competition in the domestic market, including from the informal sector, as well as a relatively high level of demand for goods/services in the domestic market. However, the practice of cooperation with other enterprises is still not sufficiently developed, in particular, cooperation between large enterprises and the SME sector is at a minimum level. The market access factor was assessed negatively by the majority of entrepreneurs, especially since access to both the CIS markets and the EU markets is particularly difficult at present.Item Tendințe în dezvoltarea întreprinderilor mici și mijlocii din Republica Moldova în perioada 2015-2020 pe clase de marime: evoluția numărului de întreprinderi și a numărului de salariați(КГУ, 2022) Maier, LidiaSmall and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have a significant share in the total number of enterprises and, without a doubt, play a very important role in the social and economic development of the country, contributing substantially to the formation of gross domestic product, job creation, exports stimulation, competition, development and implementation of innovations and new technologies. A well-developed SME sector can contribute to strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem, while generating stability and economic growth. A comprehensive analysis of the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the factors that could stimulate it, allows the effective policies for the development of local entrepreneurship to be created. This article presents the analysis of the development of SMEs by size classes and, in particular, the evolution of the number of enterprises and the number of employees. The analysis was performed based on data from the National Bureau of Statistics and includes the period 2015-2020 (for 2015, the data were used, recalculated according to the new methodology, developed by NBS in 2016). As a result of the analysis, it was found that in 2020 the number of SMEs increased slightly, but most of the indicators, which characterize the activity of the sector, decreased, which was to be expected in the crisis situation caused by the Covid Coronavirus pandemic 19.Item Evoluții recente privind fenomenul insolvabilitații în Republica Moldova(2023) Novac, Alexandra; Calcatinge, LudmilaThe purpose of this paper is to analyze the recent evolutions regarding the insolvency phenomenon in the Republic of Moldova, based on a mixed research approach, using both primary and secondary data: data of the State Tax Service, the National Bureau of Statistics, international ranking, the results of a survey of 106 entrepreneurs from the small and medium-sized enterprises sector, carried out and implemented with the participation of the author. The results of the research revealed that the phenomenon of economic agents declared insolvent in the Republic of Moldova is considerably increasing in recent years. In particular, since 2017, there has been a significant increase in the number of economic agents declared insolvent, their number exceeding 4.6 times the cumulative number of agents declared insolvent in the period 2013-2016. This trend is due, first of all, to the simplification of the company liquidation procedure. However, the findings of the empirical study reveal that for most entrepreneurs the liquidation procedure still remains complex.Item Antreprenoriatul inovativ în Republica Moldova: documente de politici, factori determinanți(INCE, 2022) Maier, LidiaIn recent years, the Government of the Republic of Moldova has made considerable efforts to boost the development of the SME sector and has increasingly recognized the role of innovation as a key driver of a competitive and sustainable economy. And although strategic policy documents, programs, and other normativelegal acts, aimed at stimulating the elaboration and implementation of innovations have been developed and adopted at the national and regional levels, the political commitment to the implementation of innovation policy has remained limited and the innovation ecosystem remains at an incipient phase. In this context, for innovative entrepreneurship to develop effectivelyand be able to fully contribute to economic growth and development, it is suggested that its importance be further recognized. The paper aims to present an overview of the legislative frameworkand policy documents to support innovation at the national and regional levels-derived from other policy areas, highlighting the fact that the integration of the innovation policy for entrepreneurship in existing policy areas is problematic. In the article, the author also identifies and analyzes the determinants of innovative entrepreneurship, available for the Republic of Moldova and comes with some recommendations on boosting the development of innovative entrepreneurship in the country, the main suggestion being the emergence of an innovation strategy with the participation of all stakeholders in innovation and entrepreneurship. Methods such as analysis and generalization (of the legislative acts and policy documents, economic and statistical indicators and other analytical materials) were used in the elaboration of the article.Item Assessment of infrastructure as a component of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Republic of Moldova: the opinion of entrepreneurs(INCE, 2022) Vinogradova, Natalia; Boldurat, VladislavThe entrepreneurial ecosystem of the Republic of Moldova is still at the stage of formation. The observed trend of growth in the number of small and medium-sized enterprises is not accompanied by a qualitative growth of enterprises. This indicates the underdevelopment of key components of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, one of which is the infrastructure. In this study, infrastructure as a component of the entrepreneurial ecosystem is considered as a set of elements of physical infrastructure, as well as services to support entrepreneurship. The purpose of this article is to assess the state of the entrepreneurship support infrastructure in the Republic of Moldova, including based on the results of a survey of entrepreneurs, which was carried out in 2021 within the applied research project 20.80009.0807.38 „Multidimensional assessment and development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem at the national and regional level in order to boost the SME sector in the Republic of Moldova”, financed from the state budget of the Republic of Moldova. The results of the study showed that the infrastructure component of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of Moldova has mainly positive evaluations by entrepreneurs. Overall in the component, access to IT resources and services was most highly rated by entrepreneurs. The indicator with the most negative impact on the entrepreneurial ecosystem is the condition (quality) of the roads. Also, access to crisis resolution and business insolvency services is a significant obstacle for over a quarter of respondents, which reflects insufficient contribution from support organizations to overcome business insolvency issues.Item Contributia intreprinderilor mici si mijlocii din Republica Moldova pe clase de marime la realizarea principalilor indicatori economici si financiari in perioada 2015-2020(Artifex, 2022) Maier, LidiaIn the context of the negative effects of the Coronavirus pandemic on the economy, SMEs are one of the main vectors of economic recovery. The analysis of the main economic and financial indicators is important because it helps to make estimates for the next period and to implement effective policies both for the development of the sector in general, but also to support SMEs to adapt and go through the created economic crisis. This article presents the analysis of the main economic and financial indicators of SMEs by size classes, including innovative SMEs. The analysis was performed based on data from the National Bureau of Statistics and includes the period 2015-2020. As a result of the analysis, it was found, that in 2020 the economic and financial indicators of SMEs, as expected in the crisis situation, decreased significantly and only SMEs, which have carried out innovation activities have tried to stays afloat, recording a higher turnover than in the previous period 2017-2018.
