| description | Entrepreneurship has been a much discussed topic both in national and international literature.However, few studies have been concerned with public policies related to small businesses and theirrelations with local development. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to present an overviewof the Brazilian government program called “Individual Micro-Entrepreneur – MEI”, in order toanalyze its benefits and effectiveness to encourage the creation of new enterprises, formalization ofinformal business, improvements in performance and promotion of local development. The study isbased on a quantitative approach, made with secondary data of 853 municipalities of Minas Geraisstate and on an empirical study with 50 entrepreneurs of Pouso Alegre city. The data were analyzedusing descriptive and multivariate statistical techniques. The main results show positives correlationsamong the entrepreneurs that opted for MEI program, with levels of income and local development,and presented negative correlation with unemployment levels. Among the most recognized benefits,it was observed that low bureaucracy, the facilities for the formalization and the sale of goods and/orservices for other companies were the factors that better discriminated the groups of entrepreneurswho recognized significant improvements in their business after the formalization. The results areuseful to analyze the effectiveness of the program MEI as a public policy able of encouraging theentrepreneurship and the local development, enabling new thinking about management strategiescapable of stimulating the emergence of new enterprises and promoting local development. |
