JANUARY ; THE AMERICAN MODEL OF THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, CAN
IT BE IMPORTED INTO EUROPE ? - PARIS
Discussion
and debate 14 January 2003, from 14h00 to 18h00 at the Cercle Républicain,
5, avenue de l'Opéra, 75001 Paris
The Comité
Richelieu proposes a discussion/debate with numerous personalities including
for the first time in Europe, the President of the Small Business Administration,
Mr Hector V. Barreto.
It is possible to take inspiration from the SBA without having to import
all the North American system. In contrast, at the present time when the
gap between the European and the American economise is widening, it becomes
indispensable to understand how to make it possible for development of
our SME and the appearance of new major companies, under the risk of falling
behind definitively and no longer being able to conserve our model of
society.
The SBA,
one of the motors to make the American economy dynamic
The SBA is an organization in charge for the last 50 years to apply the
American government policy towards SME (www.sba.gov).
- Extract
from the Small Business Act, 30 July 1953 : " The government should
help, advise and protect in all possible ways, the interests of small
enterprises so as to preserve the spirit of free competition,to ensure
that a reasonable part of markets is made with small enterprises and
to maintain by reenforcing it, the economy of the nation as awhole".
Thanks to
the programmes of the SBA, an annual flow of 70 billion dollars of public
markets is directed to SME. In the field of R&D, the SBIR programme
brings each year to SME more than 1 billion dollars of direct funding,
at 100% and not to be reimbursed. This public desire has contributed to
the creation of a particularly dynamic tissue of SME from which have appeared
the new major American groups.
- Amongst
the 25 biggest American enterprises of today, 6 existed in 1960 and
19 are recent SME that have managed to rise to the level of the largest
world enterprises.
A debate
is necessary
Nothing as such exists in France or in Europe where the public markets
in technology and public funds benefit de facto existing large enterprises.
The SME remain largely micro-enterprises and are considerably less innovative
than the American SMe and they cannot develop.
- European
SME remain, for the majority, micr-enterprises : 34 % of jobs in Europe
against only 11 % in the USA. enterprises with 10 to 500 staff represent
only 13 % of French enterprises compared to 21 % of American enteprises.
- On average,
spending on R&D in a European SME is nearly 8 times less thant an
American enterprise.
- Major
enterprises represent 0.4% of enterprises in Europe compared to 1% in
the USA.
- All of
the 25 largest European enterprises of today were in existence in 1960.
Themes
covered
- Funding
development in enteprises
- Access
to public markets
- Funding
R&D costs
