Ensuring the moderate and rapid growth of the national economy and alleviating the increasingly severe employment pressure are two very important goals of macro-control in China. Whether the macroeconomic goals can be fundamentally realized depends on the results of the activities of microeconomic entities. Along this line of thought, this paper analyzes and investigates the functions and conditions of various microeconomic entities, and draws the conclusion that supporting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises is an urgent need to maintain the healthy development of the economy and society and realize the macro-control objectives.
Reasons to pay attention to SMEs
The main reasons why we pay attention to SMEs are as follows:
First of all, small and medium-sized enterprises are the main force to absorb employment. Millions of laid-off workers from state-owned enterprises and hundreds of millions of rural surplus laborers who need to transfer from traditional agriculture to non-agricultural industries have become a focus of many contradictions in current economic life. If it is not handled well, it will directly affect social stability, economic development and reform process. The fundamental way to solve the employment problem is to create more jobs, which is mainly accomplished by developing small and medium-sized enterprises. Compared with large enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises are mostly engaged in labor-intensive industries. Even in the same industry, the organic capital composition of small and medium-sized enterprises is lower than that of large enterprises, and more labor resources are used. At present, 85% of industrial employment and 90% of commercial retail employment in China are occupied by small and medium-sized enterprises. In the strategic process of strategic reorganization of state-owned economy, downsizing and increasing efficiency of large and medium-sized enterprises and restructuring of small enterprises, it is undoubtedly the main channel to open up employment opportunities in the future by relying on the further development of small and medium-sized enterprises to create new industries needed by society.
Secondly, small and medium-sized enterprises are an important supporting force for economic growth. In the industrial field, from 65438 households to 0996 households, the industrial added value of small and medium-sized enterprises accounts for 56.6% of all independent accounting industrial enterprises. In recent 20 years, especially when the development of state-owned enterprises is facing great difficulties in recent years, China's economy has continued to grow at a high speed, and township enterprises, which account for the vast majority of small and medium-sized enterprises, have played a huge role. According to the data of the third national industrial census, 30% of the net increase of GDP and 50% of the increment of industrial added value during the Eighth Five-Year Plan period came from township industrial enterprises. Because of the important position and role of small and medium-sized enterprises in the national economy, it is of great significance to maintain the development momentum of small and medium-sized enterprises and ensure the realization of the overall growth goal of the national economy.
Third, the healthy development of small and medium-sized enterprises is a necessary condition for creating a relaxed environment for reform. Because small and medium-sized enterprises play an important role in promoting economic growth and creating employment opportunities, only the smooth development of small and medium-sized enterprises will be conducive to economic prosperity and social stability, and laid-off workers from state-owned enterprises will not face the situation of no diversion, which is of great significance to promoting the reform of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, creating a relatively relaxed external environment for the crucial task of economic system reform, and realizing the reform goal of getting rid of difficulties in three years.
Significance of developing small and medium-sized enterprises
The urgency of the problem also lies in: with the emergence of buyer's market and the intensification of market competition in recent years, coupled with the lack of necessary policy support, small and medium-sized enterprises have begun to be in a relatively unfavorable position in the competition due to their small scale and low technical level, and their development speed has obviously slowed down and their benefits have deteriorated. During 1997, the growth rate of added value of collective enterprises (mostly small and medium-sized enterprises) dropped significantly, 7 percentage points lower than that of 1996, and the growth rate in the second half of the year was even lower than the national industrial average. Undoubtedly, small and medium-sized enterprises in trouble and struggling can't bear the heavy responsibility of supporting the overall rapid growth of the national economy and providing a large number of jobs.
In the long run, the healthy development of small and medium-sized enterprises is also of great significance. First, small and medium-sized enterprises, a huge group, play a fundamental role in promoting the formation of specialization and cooperation and division of labor, forming a reasonable industrial organization structure, improving the rationality of resource allocation and enhancing the international competitiveness of industries. For example, Japan's manufacturing competitiveness ranks among the best in the world, relying on the division of labor and cooperation between a few world-renowned large enterprises and many small and medium-sized enterprises. Small and medium-sized enterprises also played a decisive role in the rapid development of high-tech industries such as electronic communication in the United States in the 1990s. Therefore, the development of small and medium-sized enterprises is the need to improve the international competitiveness of industries. Second, township enterprises and urban and rural individual and private enterprises, which account for the vast majority of small and medium-sized enterprises, have developed in the market competition from the beginning, and the market economic mechanism based on competition is fully reflected in these enterprises. The existence of a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises is conducive to the formation and improvement of the competition mechanism. Third, small and medium-sized enterprises are more sensitive to market changes and easy to adjust their business policies in time according to market changes, so that the existence of a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises is conducive to reducing the risks brought by economic turmoil to the national economy. It is generally believed that the difference between South Korea and Taiwan Province Province in the Southeast Asian financial turmoil is due to the difference in enterprise organizational structure between them. Fourth, small and medium-sized enterprises are widely distributed in all walks of life and various fields, and play an irreplaceable role in meeting the diversified needs of economic activities and people's lives. With the refinement of social division of labor and the diversification of people's living needs, this role will be more obvious in the future. Fifth, at present, China's small and medium-sized enterprises generally have problems of low technical level and serious pollution. Helping small and medium-sized enterprises to improve their technical level and reduce pollution emissions is of great significance to realize the strategic goal of sustainable development in China.
