This article aims to examine how certain economic and social factors influence short-and long-term performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). SMEs' performance is defined by using the value added (VA) by SMEs, as a percent of the total VA by enterprises. The study targets European Union (EU) countries selected by the authors following a cluster analysis procedure. In order to obtain short-and long-term influences, an analysis that carries out three types of tests is conducted: testing stationarity, testing cointegration and testing causality between the indicators identified as influencing factors and the variable measuring the performance of SMEs. The novelty and originality of this research are defined in terms of addressing the performance of SMEs from a new perspective, using an econometric basis in a macroeconomic view. From an econometric perspective, the results are among the most varied, both in the long-and short-term, however they also have a correspondent economic explanation. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Our government targeted to develop this segment (Horvath and Machyniak, 2016;Cibik, and Melus, 2019). It is backed by the existence of a relatively wide range of institutions, which focus exclusively or at least to some extent on supporting policies to create a favorable business environment for small businesses (Altuntas, 2018;Tamulevičiene, 2020).…”

In comparison to other EU countries, Slovakia is characterized by increased business activity and the highest representation of micro-enterprises in the business sector. In the years 2017/2018 -, up to 75% of companies in the SME segment conducted business activity in the field of industry, accommodation, trade, transport and construction. The collected data clearly indicates a growing trend in providing accommodation services, business and information services, business and brokerage services. The main objective of the study is to assess the sectorial structure of SMEs and managerial determinants of their efficiency. The research sample of the enterprises has shown that even these methods can better warn against bankruptcy by predicting whether business will or will not be sustainable. In comparison to EU-28, Slovakia has a significantly higher representation of industry and civil engineering in the sectoral structure of SMEs, while the service sector is under-represented. We conducted a research focusing on our defined area of business in the SME segment. The evaluation of efficiency is most often performed by ratios, which are based on current financial statements of companies. The disadvantage of these measurements is the focus on a certain quantified range of parameters that do not significantly affect the overall efficiency of the unit. Based on the DEA methodology, a selected segment of services in individual regions of Slovakia was analysed in details. The SME sector in individual regions of Slovakia is showing differences. This work presents the results of the clearly defined efficiency of business entities. The main part of this work is about the exact determination of factors that need to be changed in order the specified entity shows signs of efficient management

This paper attempts to study the relationship between firm legal form and firm performance in the Middle East and North Africa Region (MENA) using the World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES) database. Our analysis shows that open shareholding, closed shareholding, partnership, and limited partnership companies demonstrate an advantage in terms of annual sales and annual productivity growth rates over sole proprietorship firms, and that medium-sized and large-sized firms also demonstrate an advantage over small ones. Our analysis also shows that foreign ownership, exporting activities, the usage of the web in communication with clients and suppliers, and the presence of full-time workers positively affect firm performance. These findings are robust when running the analysis for firms with female participation in ownership. This paper provides directions for strategists targeting at improving the performance of firms.
