Entrepreneurship & Small and Medium
Enterprise
|

Overview
|
| |
| Small and
Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a key role in
the economic development of countries. In Pakistan,
this sector faces major obstacles and problems
that impede their functions. The Entrepreneurship
& Small and Medium Enterprise Centre (ESMEC)
works for the promotion of entrepreneurship
in the country and for the developmental needs
of the SMEs. The Konrad-Adenauer Foundation
of Germany was instrumental in setting up this
centre in 1990. |

|
One of the key objectives
of ESMEC is to investigate the role that government
policies and other macro level factors such
as the legal system and culture play in facilitating
or hindering entrepreneurship. In addition,
research is undertaken to understand the role
that SMEs play in Pakistan’s economy by
exploring the specific mechanism by which they
add value to the national economy. At the micro
level the objective of SMEC is to assess the
specific training and developmental needs of
SME owner managers and their enterprises and
to design and deliver training programmes. |
