Despite its potential to stimulate innovation, employment, and economic diversification, SMB development faces numerous challenges. These include high tax burdens, complicated licensing procedures, limited access to finance, and corruption. Internal barriers such as insufficient entrepreneurial skills and lack of market knowledge further restrict growth. The success of SMBs depends on systemic economic reforms, effective financial support mechanisms, and strong institutional frameworks that encourage entrepreneurship. Education and training remain essential tools for improving business capacity and reducing transitional disparities. From a regional perspective, Kazakhstan’s SMB development must align with broader integration efforts across Central Asia. Strengthening the private sector, ensuring fair competition, and reducing bureaucratic obstacles are key steps toward sustainable economic development.Item Open Access Social Networks and Entrepreneurships – Does Personal Networks Matters?(Jurnal Pengurusan, 2022) Ugur Ch.Institutional and social network are several major research traditions in the business and management areas. This paper examines the role of owner/managers’ social network on entrepreneurship initiatives and the underlying socio-cultural factors promoting or impeding SME development in Kazakhstan. A semi-structured interviews were carried-out with thirteen SME owners/managers in Almaty Kazakhstan. It is found that personal networks in general social networks have significant implications on a variety of entrepreneurial activities. SMEs still need to utilize their personal social networks to substitute for formal institutions. Normative institutional elements such as legal and moral are still major factors driving entrepreneurial activities but still lagging behind regulative and cognitive institutional transformation. Business ties and networking ability may mitigate the necessity for external financing. One of the major implication in this study is the need for SME owners/managers to build personal networks and to keep and maintain this network with their peers as well as the government not only for extra information but even for the sustainability of their business. To do this, SME owners/managers need to be regularly in contact with their peers and government officials, offering helps when needed, collaborate on projects, share their goals, get connected on social media and also joining networking events.Item Open Access Increase of Economic Potential of the Enterprise(2023) Konysbek A.Purpose: The research aimed to test whether there is a distinction in entrepreneurial potential between entrepreneurs who are thriving and those who have failed; and whether there are variables that can predict entrepreneurial success or failure.
