| description |
This report analyses the business
training and business services sectors in Timor Leste, and
recommends a number of initiatives for the strengthening of
these important sectors of the economy. Small, Medium Size
Enterprises (SMEs) have had limited access to information,
and there seems to be a lack of understanding and
entrepreneurial discipline. Entrepreneurs need to be more
aware of the necessity of generating a cashflow in order to
monitor economic activity, and keep a business solvent. This
shortcoming is linked to cultural characteristics, but it is
compounded by a historical reliance upon government. As
enterprises learn from their mistakes, they are becoming
more self-reliant. New enterprises understand that survival
and success is based upon entrepreneurial discipline and a
clear understanding of market forces. |
