First, a PEST analysis of Serbia was conducted to provide a detailed summary about the Serbian business environment.  After discovering certain facets, a series of variables were created and then tested through interviews with Serbian-based employees and people involved in Serbian SME business development.  Finally, a SWOT analysis and an analysis of the interviews were created.
Similar to the study conducted by Neupert et al. (2006), that examined SME challenges within transitional economies and Lalovic and Skopljak (2008)  that explored SME obstacles concerning entrepreneur development, this paper utilizes a similar qualitative based approach.  Personal interviews were conducted since the goal was to obtain a more in-depth analysis of Serbia’s SMEs business environment.  Personal interaction provides more thorough explanations as opposed to quantitative research.
Sectors that will be examined:
Several factors contribute to the economic business environment of a country.  The Global Competitiveness Report 2008-2009 (World Economic Forum, 2008) presented certain features that drive an economy.  The diagram below represents a modified version, which the listed bullet points were analyzed for this project.
  1. Basic influences on the economy: This provides macroeconomic portrayal of Serbia.  These factors provide general inferences of the areas
  2. Efficiency enhancers:  These facets provide a deeper understanding of programs that are being implemented to stimulate economic growth
  3. Innovation Drive: This sheds light on how Serbia’s potential to being innovative and adaptive of newer technologies
