Search for alternative models of support of small and medium-sized enterprises in Russia
The Russian model of state policy of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) promoting, was created mostly by the method of copying positive foreign experience and actually it does not bring expected economic and social results. To improve the situation at the moment it's necessary to use the forming complex of the so called "state services" as a core of a new modified system of SME sector promoting in the country. The concrete content of this promoting policy should be displaced from orientation to benefits for separate kinds of services for SME to the goal-oriented creation and versatile regulation of conditions and the institutions, providing uninterrupted flow of market services to this segment of the entrepreneurship. As well it's necessary to concentrate government SME promoting actions on the realization of the state programs of SME within three strategic directions: on a) the formation of competitive, saturated market of various business-services for SME sector; b) selection of institutions and instruments providing SME promoting benefits, strictly tied to the set of preferential services (including obligatory state services) for certain contingents of SMEs. These contingents mostly cover SMEs, really bringing the contribution to innovative modernization of Russian economy; to the formation of the general favourable enterprise environment, to the effective functioning of all institutions of the "civilized" market. Special research should be carried out with the purpose to define what services are most adequate to a varying types of small and medium-sized enterprises in each of the Russian regions; what services are mostly demanded and are practically capable to render significant positive influence over the development of SME sector and to ensure amplification of its contribution to development of regions.
