This book investigates the critical factors influencing the successful development of entrepreneurship and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) within economies undergoing transition. It draws upon the expertise of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to analyze the unique challenges and opportunities present in these evolving markets. The work aims to provide a framework for understanding how policy, institutional support, and market dynamics interact to foster a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The work is presented as a technical report from the UNDP, suggesting a focus on policy analysis and practical recommendations for governmental and non-governmental organizations. The subject matter indicates a readership interested in economic development, international business, and public policy within transitional economies. The scope likely covers a range of case studies and analytical frameworks relevant to the challenges of post-socialist or developing market economies.
