Abstract

Small economy, well known as S&M, is important part of every national economy. Around 60% to 70% of total employment is employees in S&M in all European countries. S&M is key factor of social and national economic stability. That is why developed countries take special attention to S&M.Companies what belong to S&M from developed European countries attempt to be included in global business trends, for example they are included in export-import businesses outside of Europe and their portion in these kinds of businesses are 10%. Countries in transition are just trying to manage development of S&M, it means development of S&M is happening spontaneously. Transition from central planning economy to market economy has been paid with lower quality of development for S&M. Export-import businesses where are included S&M companies from countries in transition are linked only for neighboring countries and there is almost no any intercontinental businesses.The world financial crises are much deeper than what was expected, because there is no ideas how to solve these financial problems. The biggest corporations in the world are not prepared to solve social and economic problems in national economies. That is why S&M is getting more important role in global economic stability. Further to economic crises the role of government in national economy has been replaced by regional and local economies. It means S&M companies are together with local areas become factor of development for sustainable economic development and manage this development.Comparative analyses of S&M in developed European countries and European countries in transition for the first level of analysis, showed high level of similarity for strategic positioning of S&M in national economies. Analysis of basic factors for development, apropos characteristics of factors for development showed important differences between developed European countries and European countries in transition. What kind of unfavorable specificities of S&M for countries in economic transition making influence? On what way is possible to contribute for development of S&M for countries in transition? What has to be the role of government for development of S&M for economies in transition, compare to developed European economies? How to link S&M from developed European economies with economies in transition? These basic questions will be answered in this analysis and in the same time will join to requirements for incentive development of S&M and eliminate key differences between S&M in developed European economies and European economiesin transition.
