Empirical Analysis of Factors Affecting Growth of Technology Based Business Incubators in Kenya: The Case of Kenya Industrial Research & Development Institute (KIRDI)

Techno-based incubators have been in Kenya since 1967 to support SMEs in the manufacturing sector and nurture them to grow into medium and large industries.  Despite the many years of incubation concept, Kenya has experienced slow growth of techno-based incubators, registering only six notable techno-based incubators, most being institutions of higher learning.  Further, despite existence of incubators past statistics show that three out of five businesses including those in manufacturing sector still fail within first few months of operation.  This paper is a report of an empirical study carried out to analyze factors influencing growth of techno-based incubators in Kenya from the perspective of an existing technology based incubator at KIRDI.  The research was qualitative, using descriptive design and employed a case study approach, based on a census of staff running the four KIRDI incubator centres, in both South B and South C Campuses of the Institution. An interview schedule and questionnaires incorporating Likert-type scales were developed to collect data on the variables. The findings established a strong positive relationship (r=0.751) between independent variables and dependent variable, however further analyzed each independent variable has its own weight on the dependent variable.

Performance Management Framework For Medium-Sized Enterprises in Service Sector

The aim of this literature study is to propose a conceptual performance management framework for medium-sized companies in the service sector at Bandung and its surroundings. Performance management is important for small and medium-sized enterprises in Indonesia in anticipation of global competition in the ASEAN region, which is called ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), at the end of 2015. The medium-sized companies in the service sector facing many limitations such as lack of human resource capabilities. In addition, all of the services sector in Indonesia which become AEC priorities, is far behind compared to other Asean countries. It should be anticipated with relevant performance management framework for medium-sized companies in the the service sector, in order to improve the performance of employees, the company's growth and to achieve a competitive advantage. The role of the company's strategic plan needs to be considered for proposing the dimensions of performance management. Performance management need be linked to the capability of human resources because of the employee's performance of the service company depends on the employee's ability in providing and delivering services and service to satisfy customers directly. Service quality is one of the employee performance in the service sector that can improve competitive advantage. This performance management framework will be followed up by empirical research in medium-sized companies in the service sector at Bandung and its surroundings, to be used as a prototype for other regions of Indonesia

ADB–OECD Study on Enhancing Financial Accessibility for SMEs: Lessons from Recent Crises

During the era of global financial uncertainty, stable access to appropriate funding sources has been much harder for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The global financial crisis impacted SMEs and entrepreneurs disproportionately, exacerbating their traditional financing constraints. The financial conditions of many SMEs were weakened by the drop in demand for goods and services and the credit tightening. The sovereign debt crisis that hit several European countries contributed to further deterioration in bank lending activities, which negatively affected private sector development. The global regulatory response to financial crises, such as the Basel Capital Accord, while designed to reduce systemic risks may also constrain bank lending to SMEs. In particular, Basel III requires banks to have tighter risk management as well as greater capital and liquidity. Resulting asset preference and deleveraging of banks, particularly European banks with significant presence in Asia, could limit the availability of funding for SMEs in Asia and the Pacific. Lessons from the recent financial crises have motivated many countries to consider SME access to finance beyond conventional bank credit and to diversify their national financial system. Improving SME access to finance is a policy priority at the country and global level. Poor access to finance is a critical inhibiting factor to the survival and growth potential of SMEs. Financial inclusion is thus key to the development of the SME sector, which is a driver of job creation and social cohesion and takes a pivotal role in scaling up national economies. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have recognized that it is crucial to develop a comprehensive range of policy options on SME finance, including innovative financing models. With this in mind, sharing Asian and OECD experiences on SME financing would result in insightful discussions on improving SME access to finance at a time of global financial uncertainty. Based on intensive discussions in two workshops organized by ADB in Manila on 6–7 March 2013 and by OECD in Paris on 21 October 2013, the two organizations together compiled this study report on enhancing financial accessibility for SMEs, especially focusing on lessons from the past and recent crises in Asia and OECD countries. The report takes a comparative look at ADB and OECD experiences, and aims to identify promising policy solutions for creating an SME base that is resilient to crisis, from a viewpoint of access to finance, and which can help drive growth and development
