Problems and Prospects of Small and Medium Enterprise Development in Russia: St. Petersburg practices
Abstract
Aim. This study aims to substantiate the need for the development and improvement of the infrastructure of small enterprise support through enhanced interaction between the business community, government, and economists.
Tasks. This study identifies the main problems of small enterprise development in the country; analyzes the existing system of interaction between government, social, and scientific organizations and the business environment; examines major areas for improvement in the legislative framework of small enterprise support in St. Petersburg.
Results. Major problems in small enterprise development in St. Petersburg are identified, including vending overoptimization, which facilitates the growth of large retail chains; collapse of small enterprise suppliers; corruption, etc. As a result of the determined inconsistencies in the functioning of the “government-society-business” model, systematic tightening of tax burden on small enterprises is established. The work of the special institute for regulatory impact assessment is analyzed. The institute aims to organize a system of “smart regulation” comparable to foreign countries. It is proposed that preliminary “regulatory impact assessments” involving entrepreneurs should be conducted for any future decisions on small enterprises prior to their approval.
