SME mortality rate after successful start-up is caused by inadequate capacity to manage business and its finances, uncontrollable losses and non- efficiencies unknown to management
Actual data by San Paulo Department of Statistics, Brazil: 5 billion dollars lost and 530 thousands jobs in the medium and low range of manpower are lost within one year in San Paulo State only. 1,000,000 businesses closed between 1990-2002 just in the State of San Paulo worth of 62 billion dollars in invoicing and consequent losses in taxes.
(Source: Newspaper O Estado de San Paulo, Economy and Business Section, 4th December 2003)

Similar situation exists in other developing countries lacking of official statistics.

Result: Most of SMEs are running life time experiment W i n or D i e !

Major reasons of SME mortality


(SEBRAE, BRAZIL)

1.

Mistakes in making business decisions by management based on inadequate assumptions and information, inadequate managerial skills Financial mismanagement and ineffective use of own or borrowed financial resources

2.

These 2 reasons constitute 65% of cases

The price of ignorance


(UK case studies, CoVE and MII, food industry):
Estimations of lost gross profit (GP) due to various inefficiencies, per annum
Enterprise Group 1 (GP 400,000): 54,900 Enterprise Group 2 (GP 3,000,000): 215,500

Improving Productivity, Quality, Competitiveness, Sustainability and Knowledge Capital with UNIDO PHAROS Software Suite

Average enterprise improvement results benchmarked after the Programme implementations reveal average inefficiencies:
Overall Productivity Increase (or value Added/person) + 9% Improved Efficiency + 18%

Improved Gross Profit


Reduction in Labour cost Overall Effective Efficiency increase Acceleration of business development

+ 25%
- 15% + 5% - 6 years

Common situation in SMEs performance and capacity for innovation management


Enterprises are not managed with high efficiency, available resources are not used up to full potential. Innovations and globalization impacts cannot be managed effectively There are no simple & inexpensive educational IT tools for entrepreneurs for measuring / benchmarking of business results, simulating major decisions and developing knowledge capital after successful start-up.

Improving Productivity, Quality, Competitiveness, Sustainability and Knowledge Capital with UNIDO PHAROS Software Suite

Key issue:
Developing basic knowledge capital improving control and transparency of business and recognizing achievements in capacity for trade, exports, investments access to markets complying to new credit risk standards.
When major decisions are based non on assumptions, but realities and multiple uncertainty factors & risks are taken into consideration the chance of strategic failure or miscalculation decreases significantly.
