Resumo(s)
A globalização e os avanços tecnológicos conduzem a alterações constantes na economia. A importância do setor das pequenas e médias empresas (PMEs) para o crescimento da economia tem vindo a ser reconhecido. Estudos realizados indicam que as PMEs são as principais geradoras de novos empregos e devido à sua capacidade de inovação e flexibilidade, adaptam-se mais facilmente às mudanças do mercado e consequentemente impulsionam a criação de riqueza. Os governos têm vindo a reformular a legislação aplicável às PMEs com o objetivo de reduzirem as barreiras que restringem a sua criação e desenvolvimento. A Europa tem vindo a perder terreno na economia mundial pelo que, a União Europeia (EU) lançou o Small Business Act (SBA) que pretende colocar os interesses das PMEs no centro da política europeia. Numa primeira fase o presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a implementação do SBA nos países da União. Posteriormente pretende-se realizar uma análise comparativa ao setor das PMEs em seis países: Reino Unido, Estados Unidos, Canadá, Austrália, Suécia e Finlândia. Concluiu-se que apesar da implementação do Small Business Act tomar diferentes abordagens e resultados consoante os Estados-Membros, teve um impacto positivo na promoção das PMEs e do crescimento económico nos Estados-Membros. Por outro lado, a análise do setor das PMEs nos seis países, mencionados anteriormente, permitiu concluir que existe uma convergência nas medidas políticas desenvolvidas pelos governos estimular as PMEs e combater os principais problemas que estas enfrentam.
Globalization and technological advance lead to changes in the economy. The role of small and medium-sized (SMEs) industry has been recognized as a key instrument to economical growth. Research indicates that SMEs are the main drivers of new jobs and due to their innovational and flexibility skills they easily adjust their strategies to the market changes and therefore generate wealth. Governments have been reforming the law applicable to SMEs with the intent to reduce the barriers that mine their development. Europe´s strength on the global market has been weakened hence, the European Union has launched the Small Business Act (SBA) which aims to put SMEs on the forefront of the European policy. Firstly, this thesis is set to evaluate the SBA´s implementation across EU Member States. Secondly, a comparative analysis will be conducted on SME´s industry for six countries: United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, Sweden and Finland. According to the results achieved, although the SBA´s implementation on Member States vary as regards both the approach taken and the results obtained, it had a positive impact on the promotion of SMEs and to the economic growth. In addition, the comparative analyses regarding the SMEs sector on the six countries listed before showed that there is a convergence on the policies set by the governments to promote SMEs and to eliminate the barriers faced by them.
