The entrepreneurship potential at local and regional level is encouraged andsupported, mainly among the younger generationJustification of the p<strong>ro</strong>posal:At regional level we see a relatively low percentage of small and medium enterprises comparing withthe national level (counties of Dolj and Olt held with app<strong>ro</strong>x. 4% of all enterprises registered at national levelin 2009Moreover, the Olt county level we i<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>ntified a low level of diversity especially in the tertiary sectordominated by commerce services.It is therefore necessary to support a sustained activity to help to stimulate and foster the entrepreneurialtalent. We consi<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>r activities that can p<strong>ro</strong>vi<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> support and space for exchanging i<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>as, training and<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>velopment, training p<strong>ro</strong>grams for managers and employees, offers free advice and facilitate contacts withbanks and potential partners. It is necessary to continue the support p<strong>ro</strong>vi<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>d to potential entrepreneurs:• I<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>ntification and entrepreneurial skills testing,• Development of business plans,• Business training,• Information required for starting businessMoreover, it is necessary to distinguish between the concepts of management and entrepreneurshipand p<strong>ro</strong>viding a<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>quate support of for enterprises and potential entrepreneurs at regional level. In a businessenvi<strong>ro</strong>nment balanced we i<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>ntify a balance between entrepreneurship and support the management / forenterprises administration already created / existing.As regards the support for enterprises management already existing is necessary to p<strong>ro</strong>vi<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> guidance andinformation to support management of the enterprise in his prediction, because of how it is carried forwardapp<strong>ro</strong>ach and the conclusions reached following its <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>consolidation and p<strong>ro</strong>spects <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>pend <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>velopment of therespective enterprise.The forecasting function involves practicing skills and ability to use market research to substantiate thebusiness strategy, to forecast sales, p<strong>ro</strong>duction, employment, to <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>velop and periodically review the businessplanning document that summarizes the conception of future <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>velopment of enterprise.It is also necessary the capacity <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>velopment of forecasting at the level of potential entrepreneurs. As toinfluence the predictability (items related to law, public policy, the measures of support f<strong>ro</strong>m local governmentstructures) at regional and / or mic<strong>ro</strong>-regional is relatively low (and mostly because of differences in legislationand systems between the two countries administrative) we i<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>ntify potential untapped entrepreneurial capacitybuilding to create business forecasting at local, mic<strong>ro</strong>-regional and regional levels.Universities at the level of region represent essential training centers in the system of innovation, bothby p<strong>ro</strong>ducing and attracting human capital necessary for innovation and <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>velopment. It is necessary to ensureentrepreneurial spirit also at the level of education centers in the region. Education and training curricula canp<strong>ro</strong>mote at regional level entrepreneurial culture by creating skills and attitu<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>s necessary for the creation andoperation of enterprises capable of innovation.Potential measures:• Ensure completion of current school curriculum subjects who are consi<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>ring entrepreneurship f<strong>ro</strong>mthe early age;• Support p<strong>ro</strong>jects that apply the principles of territorial integration;• Specialization mic<strong>ro</strong>-regions to increase the complementarity of mac<strong>ro</strong>-regional level;• Studies to i<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>ntify st<strong>ro</strong>ng regional brands and shaping the brand in the region;• Study of consumer p<strong>ro</strong>files at regional level (that can generate critical mass trends in the types of p<strong>ro</strong>ducts,services that meet i<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>ntified needs p<strong>ro</strong>file);• Education / information p<strong>ro</strong>jects and educating consumers.3. Empowerment of local and regional partnerships in strategic planning and inp<strong>ro</strong>moting of economic <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>velopment at the ac<strong>ro</strong>ss bor<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>rs levelJustification of the p<strong>ro</strong>posal:Taking in consi<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>ration the size of business challenges at the region level and the need to recover as soonas possible the discrepancies compared to the other Eu<strong>ro</strong>pean countries, it is imperative to pool resources andsupport the business envi<strong>ro</strong>nment initiatives in the bor<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>r region. The fragmentation and competition app<strong>ro</strong>achusing existing resources will continue to <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>crease important <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>velopment opportunities of the region.App<strong>ro</strong>ach is nee<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>de</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>d to simplify how to support the business envi<strong>ro</strong>nment and to enable better coordinationof regional initiatives and instruments (especially financial ones) available.
