BACKGROUND

Even the best developed policies can and do fail, without attaining their desired outcomes. Many countries have developed small business policies directed at supporting and creating a favourable environment for cultivating small business and entrepreneurship. According to Mason and Brown (2013:222) policy makers need to customise and shape policy properly to the specificities of their own distinctive economic, small business and entrepreneurial context. Policies aimed at entrepreneurship are less prominent but still growing (Lundström & Stevenson, 2005:53; United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), 2012:1).
The existence of entrepreneurship policies in developing nations continues to be rare despite the belief that entrepreneurship can spur economic growth and employment. Amongst the outcomes of small business and entrepreneurship are job creation, economic growth and general prosperity. At present, the small business sector in South Africa is not large enough because it has not absorbed as much labour as it should have (The World Bank Group, 2010b:1, Themba, 2012:5; Peyper, 2012:1). Consequently, one of the priorities of government has been to change the environment in which Small Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) operate. For this reason, a small business policy was developed to support small business and entrepreneurship. Research provides information to build government policy and strategy relating to small business and entrepreneurship.
Stimulating entrepreneurship and supporting it appropriately as well as properly, will require considerable reforms which must start at the highest levels of government (Herrington, 2013:12). van Vuuren and Groenewald (2007:269) highlight that although much support, education and training are given in South Africa, policy makers and educational institutions should take note of the various differences in the needs of small businesses and entrepreneurial ventures to make provision in their support and training for these differences. These two types of business ventures can be further distinguished into start-up (less than 3.5 years old) and established businesses (more than 3.5 years old), based on the age of the business (Turton & Herrington, 2013:15). It is important to distinguish clearly between entrepreneurial ventures and small businesses. Nieman and Nieuwenhuizen (2009:9) and Nieman (2006:4) regard them both as critical to the performance of the economy because they serve different economic functions. While both need entrepreneurial action for start-up, the small business venture will tend to stabilise at a certain stage and will only grow with inflation (Barringer & Ireland, 2012:32).
In contrast, entrepreneurial ventures are businesses where the principal objectives are profitability and growth. Nieuwenhuizen (2007:2) and Watson (2013:406) further assert that it is important to keep in mind that not everyone who starts a new business is, in reality, an entrepreneur. Some might be enterprising but true entrepreneurs habitually create and innovate to build and grow something of recognised value. An entrepreneur identifies an opportunity to start a business that fulfils a consumer’s need. This need may have not been acknowledged by other individuals or enterprises (Mariotti & Glackin, 2014:14). Not all SMMEs achieve anything new or different, nor do they all grow and become successful. Thus, although small businesses contribute to wealth creation and add value to the economy, not all SMMEs are necessarily entrepreneurial (Westhead, Wright & McElwee, 2011:18). If one accepts that there are these differences between small businesses and entrepreneurial ventures, it calls for different methods of development and support.
As observed by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) 2007 South African report, a “one system fits all” approach to entrepreneurship development or a blanket approach aimed at supporting all small businesses might not be the optimal choice in this changing environment (Maas & Herrington, 2007:8; Ligthelm, 2013:73). At the same time it should be noted that the age of the business also determines the different kinds of support and assistance required. In a study conducted by Dockel and Ligthelm (2005:61) it was brought to the attention of policy makers that policy measures that merely provide a favourable climate for a small business and not for an entrepreneurial venture, are not effective. More specific and targeted policies that focus on prioritised growth factors and sub-sectors of the SMME sector are required. Nel and Rogerson (2005:20) support this finding and recommend that national policy needs to be more supportive of local developmental endeavours and not only encourage local economic development (LED) but also give it clearer direction and focus.
