How Can Small And Medium Shoe Enterprises In Italy Play A Big Market?

Our government should consider the development of small and medium-sized enterprises at a higher level. Although the national conditions are different, the successful experience of developing SMEs in Italy can still be used for reference.

There are 420 SMEs in Italy.

Among them, 99.87% of the total manufacturing enterprises are small and medium enterprises, which are the first in the developed countries.

After the establishment of the European Union, the standards for the division of small and medium enterprises were unified, and the standard was implemented in Italy.

According to EU standards, small and medium enterprises refer to enterprises with an employee turnover of less than 250 persons, less than 40 million euros annual turnover, and owners whose net assets are below 27 million euros, with economic independence and outsiders controlling shares that can not exceed 25%.

The competitiveness of SMEs in Italy is relatively strong. Machinery manufacturing, textile and clothing, leather and footwear, gold and silver jewelry, furniture products, glass products, sanitary ceramics, marble products, and other major sectors of Italy's export earnings are mainly SMEs.

Italy leather shoes manufacturing has a long history.

It is the world's largest producer of leather shoes.

Especially high grade shoes enjoy high reputation.

Cara, chairman of the Italy chamber of Commerce, said: in 2006, Italy produced 350 million pairs of shoes, the total value was 8 billion 170 million euros, and exported 322 million pairs of shoes, worth 6 billion 780 million euros.

Among them, exports to China 150 thousand pairs, worth 5 million euros, the contrast between quantity and value highlights the complementarity between the two shoemaking industries.

Italy textile and garment exports account for second of the world's major export countries, especially fashion.

It is a symbol of classics, elegance, fashion and quality. Rome style is one of fashion representatives.

In 2004, China exported 159 million euros of textiles to China.

1-11 months in 2005 increased by 24.65% over the same period in 2004.

Italy's textile and clothing products enjoy a world-renowned reputation for their unique design styles, high-quality fabrics and sophisticated processing technology.

In the field of top-level clothing, Italy products almost control the market value of 20% of the world's total market value of 46 billion 500 million euros, the main market is the United States and Japan.

The export of Italy's small businesses is also impressive.

For example, the shoe making industry, 72% of China's imported leather shoes are produced in Italy.

For example, the second international procurement section of the Chinese women's shoes city has been invited to invest in Italy. During the opening ceremony, dozens of Italy shoe companies attended the exhibition, and 500 pairs of top brand leather shoes were displayed to the public.

The factory price is 80-200 euros, which is also rated as high grade in Italy.

Italy leather shoes are mostly high-end products in the Chinese market, such as Kaiser brand 1000-3000 yuan a pair, Antonio brand 1000-3000 yuan a pair, Hualong Tian slave 4000 yuan or so.

To cope with the challenges of economic globalization, in recent years, due to the challenges of economic globalization, the competitiveness of SMEs in Italy has gradually weakened.

Textile industry and shoemaking industry in traditional industries have been impacted by Asian countries.

In order to meet challenges and enhance competitiveness, Italy's SMEs have adopted positive measures.

First, small enterprises with high interdependence can form an enterprise group through mutual participation, so that they can play a bigger role as big enterprises.

At the same time, the development of specialized zones for small and medium-sized enterprises will exist in the form of "one district, one industry". With a product as a link, small and medium-sized enterprises will form a networked production mode of production, supply, marketing and supporting services.

The small enterprises concentrated in a specialized area can achieve the efficiency level of a large enterprise in general.

For example, the development of silk industry in Komo area, the development of textile and garment industry by karby and plator, the development of ceramics in sathoreau, the development of glassy glass products in kareno, the development of Dali's stone industry in Kara La, and the development of wooden chairs and chairs in Udinese.

Each district's small and medium enterprises, trade organizations and specialized technology centers (including professional schools) are interdependent and complementary to each other, forming an industrial organization system of "production, research, trade and three in one".

In this system, the professional district organizations exchange market information, technological research, carry out training activities, monitor the quality level and coordinate business relations, to a large extent, avoid unfair competition.

Thus, a cooperative and cooperative group of production, research and trade has been formed, forming a socialized and specialized supporting system for small and medium-sized enterprises, forming a specific industrial cultural atmosphere and becoming a platform for the stable development of small and medium-sized enterprises.

It is precisely because of the important position and role of small and medium-sized enterprises in the national economy that Italy has set up an effective supporting system for supporting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises as a basic economic policy of our country.

And support small and medium-sized enterprises from the aspects of tax loan and so on.

Italy's special tax policy mainly includes: for the innovative investment that accords with the law, in the three years, the government of Italy provides a tax preference of 25% of the investment for the enterprises with less than 100 employees, and the 101~200 employees of the enterprise enjoy 20% of the preferential tax allowance. However, the total discount enjoyed by each enterprise is not less than 60 thousand euros, and the maximum value is not more than 225 thousand euros. In order to increase production efficiency, introduce technology, develop quality system and find new market, it can enjoy preferential tax reduction.

Among them, employees with less than 100 employees can enjoy a 50% reduction in tax, and 101-200 employees can enjoy a 40% tax reduction. However, the total amount of preferential policies that each enterprise enjoys is not more than 40 thousand euros. If a small business can invest part of its profits in research projects, it can enjoy duty-free concessions.

The amount of tax is equivalent to 30% of the profit invested in the research project, but the total discount enjoyed by each enterprise should not exceed 300 thousand euros, and no other preferential benefits related to the research can be enjoyed. Small businesses enjoying significant activities in industrial technology improvement and technology export can enjoy tax concessions.

The tax reduction is equivalent to 30% of the research cost. However, the total amount of preferential treatment enjoyed by each enterprise is not more than 300 thousand euros per tax year.

Italy also has a tax cut policy against industrial enterprises.

In respect of movable property tax, the government of Italy stipulates that the reduction of tax or tax exemption from capital and labor income and the income from independent labor will play a great role in promoting the development of handicraft industry. This is also an important reason why Italy's handicrafts can occupy a place in the world.

In order to encourage enterprises to introduce talents, Italy will offer more than 10 thousand years' tax credits to those who employ postdoctoral candidates in science and technology small and medium enterprises, and provide more than 60% euros of tax credits for doctoral candidates entrusted by enterprises, and enjoy 40% or 50% tax reduction for the increase of production efficiency, the introduction of technology and the development of the market, with an upper limit of 20 thousand euros.

In order to encourage SMEs to reinvest their technology, Italy stipulates that tax-free concessions can be granted to small and medium-sized enterprises to invest and study part of their profits. The allowance is equivalent to 30% of the investment in research and development. However, the total amount of preferential treatment enjoyed by each enterprise should not exceed 250 thousand euros, and no other preferential benefits related to research can be enjoyed.

It is a common problem in many countries that loans support SMEs to obtain loans. In order to solve this problem, the government of Italy adopts a series of encouraging policies, regulations and measures to customize many laws for small businesses, including creation, equipment procurement, technological innovation and pformation, environmental protection and financing.

If a central guarantee fund is set up for SME loans, the fund will be managed by the intermediate credit bank headquarters in the name of the Italy production activity department.

Entrepreneurial support -- providing low interest loans to young entrepreneurs and offering preferential grants to female entrepreneurs; loans provided by the European investment bank, which does not exceed 25 million euros for the entire investment plan, and the repayment period is not more than 10 years. The loan interest rate is determined by the European investment bank according to the loan amount, and the loan can account for 50% of the capital investment.

Italy's small and medium-sized enterprises need to provide a series of documents when they borrow money from banks.

If the enterprise is in the chamber of Commerce registration code, through this code, the bank can understand the company's registered capital, production, operation and liabilities and so on. If these circumstances change, the enterprise should update the company's report for three consecutive years, which should be kept in the local court files. The certificate of business tax payment status and the official documents showing that there are no outstanding legal proceedings.

As a matter of fact, any individual who can pay a certain fee can understand the above information. Such a high degree of pparency has greatly strengthened the supervision of the whole external enterprise itself.

On this basis, Italy established a credit evaluation system for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Small and medium-sized enterprises have their own credit rating, and the banks accordingly decide whether to grant loans to SMEs or to what extent the loan amount should be granted.

Generally speaking, the credit rating of enterprises should not be determined by government departments, but should be assessed by non-governmental organizations or corresponding institutions. For banks, such credit ratings are more credible.

This will reduce the bank's loan cost.

At the same time, on this basis, SMEs can be promoted to release discounted commercial bills to the community and expand financing channels.

The government should be responsible for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Our government should consider the development of small and medium-sized enterprises at a higher level.

Like the government of Italy, we should formulate relevant laws and regulations to promote the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and give more special support to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises from aspects of finance, taxation, scientific and technological innovation, education and training, and the introduction of talents.

We should encourage and promote the development of associations, chambers of Commerce and trade associations of private SMEs.

At the same time, a comprehensive reform of the existing state sponsored associations, chambers of Commerce, and other institutional mechanisms will completely decouple them from government departments, establish intermediary organizations based on service enterprises and a large number of non-governmental organizations, and enhance effective communication and vitality with enterprises and markets.

Efforts should be made to broaden the financing channels for SMEs.

We should start from the matching of institutions, systems and policies and measures, and comprehensively solve them.

China's export oriented small and medium-sized enterprises have met the dual pressure of international market capacity and competition from other countries.

We should learn from the practice that Italy SMEs rely on specialization and specialties to achieve high quality and high added value development mode and establish specialized zones, so as to achieve the coordinated intensive production of research, trade and industry, and to enhance competitiveness and gradually realize the pformation from quantity oriented to quality oriented.
