摘要：Darbe nagrinėjama verslumo ugdymo pereinamosiose rinkose problematika: smulkios ir vidutinės įmonės yra ypač jautrios išorinės aplinkos pokyčiams, todėl joms reikia išskirtinio dėmesio. Darbe analizuojamos kliūtys, kylančios įmonėms skirtingais virsmo proceso etapais. Pateikiami virsmo procesą apibūdinantys indikatoriai, kurie turi įtaką verslumo perspektyvai. Autoriai naudoja šiuos indikatorius virsmo proceso analizei 23 šalyse. Remdamiesi tyrimo rezultatais, autoriai pateikia modelį, kuris gali būti naudojamas smulkių ir vidutinių įmonių raidos tendencijoms nustatyti. Šiame modelyje taip pat identifikuojamos kliūtys ir problemos, su kuriomis susiduria smulkios ir vidutinės įmonės skirtingais virsmo proceso etapais. Tyrimo rezultatai leidžia formuluoti patarimus įmonėms, veikiančioms skirtingais virsmo proceso etapais.
其他摘要：An issue that has recently gained in importance in transitional literature is the need to develop a thriving small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) sector since it can contribute significantly to innovation, job creation and economic growth. However, the specific characteristics of SMEs make them especially vulnerable to changes in the legal, social and environmental context. In this paper we are interested in the barriers that SME development encounters during different stages in the transition process. There is no consensus regarding ‘transition stages’, yet various indicators measuring certain aspects of transition progress have been developed. For this paper, we apply a selection of indicators proposed in previous research to approximate three transitional stages that would make sense from an entrepreneurship development perspective. We utilise these indicators to categorise 23 transition countries into transitional stages. On the basis of that utilisation we develop a framework in which we can identify SME development trends based on our analysis of the 25 empirical studies on constraints facing SMEs in transition countries. Our preliminary results indicate that more fundamental barriers related to legal issues are more characteristic of the early stages of transition, while more specific constraints related to human resources and skill development characterise later transition stages.
