This study investigated how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in a country perceive major global risks. The aim was to explore how country attributes and circumstances affect SME assessments of the likelihood, impacts, and rankings of global risks, and to find out if SME risk assessment and rankings differ from the global rankings. Data were gathered using an online survey of manufacturing SMEs in Turkey. The results show that global economic risks and geopolitical risks are of major concern for SMEs, and environmental risks are at the bottom of their ranking. Among the economic risks, fiscal crises in key economies and high structural unemployment or underemployment were found to be the highest risks for the SMEs. Failure of regional or global governance, failure of national governance, and interstate conflict with regional consequences were found to be among the top geopolitical risks for the SMEs. The SMEs considered the risk of large-scale cyber-attacks and massive incident of data fraud/theft to be relatively higher than other global technological risks. Profound social instability and failure of urban planning were among the top societal risks for the SMEs. Although the global environmental and disaster risks were ranked lowest on the list, man-made environmental damage and disasters and major natural hazard-induced disasters were ranked the highest among this group of risks. Overall, the results show that SMEs at a country level, for example Turkey, perceive global risks differently than the major global players.

中小企业与全球风险:土耳其制造业中小企业的证据

这项研究调查了一个国家的中小企业如何感知主要的全球风险。目的是探讨国家属性和情况如何影响SME对全球风险的可能性,影响和排名的评估,并确定SME风险评估和排名是否与全球排名不同。数据是通过对土耳其制造业中小型企业的在线调查收集的。结果表明,全球经济风险和地缘政治风险是中小型企业最关注的问题,而环境风险则排在他们的末位。在经济风险中,主要经济体的财政危机和高结构性失业或就业不足被认为是中小企业面临的最高风险。区域或全球治理失败,国家治理失败,州际冲突和区域后果被认为是中小企业面临的主要地缘政治风险之一。中小企业认为,大规模网络攻击和大规模数据欺诈/盗窃事件的风险要高于其他全球技术风险。严重的社会动荡和城市规划失败是中小企业面临的最大社会风险。尽管全球环境和灾难风险在列表中排名最低,但在此类风险中,人为环境破坏和灾难以及主要自然灾害引起的灾难却排名最高。总体而言,结果表明,国家一级的中小型企业(例如土耳其)对全球风险的认识与主要的全球参与者不同。中小企业认为,大规模网络攻击和大规模数据欺诈/盗窃事件的风险要高于其他全球技术风险。严重的社会动荡和城市规划失败是中小企业面临的最大社会风险。尽管全球环境和灾难风险在列表中排名最低,但是在这些风险类别中,人为的环境破坏和灾难以及由自然灾害引起的重大灾难却排名最高。总体而言,结果表明,国家一级的中小型企业(例如土耳其)对全球风险的认识与主要的全球参与者不同。中小企业认为,大规模网络攻击和大规模数据欺诈/盗窃事件的风险要高于其他全球技术风险。严重的社会动荡和城市规划失败是中小企业面临的最大社会风险。尽管全球环境和灾难风险在列表中排名最低,但在此类风险中,人为环境破坏和灾难以及主要自然灾害引起的灾难却排名最高。总体而言,结果表明,国家一级的中小型企业(例如土耳其)对全球风险的认识与主要的全球参与者不同。尽管全球环境和灾难风险在列表中排名最低,但在此类风险中,人为环境破坏和灾难以及主要自然灾害引起的灾难却排名最高。总体而言,结果表明,国家一级的中小型企业(例如土耳其)对全球风险的认识与主要的全球参与者不同。尽管全球环境和灾难风险在列表中排名最低,但在此类风险中,人为的环境破坏和灾难以及由自然灾害引起的重大灾难却排名最高。总体而言,结果表明,国家一级的中小型企业(例如土耳其)对全球风险的认识与主要的全球参与者不同。
