Eda conducted research aimed at gathering insights into what enterprise experts think about the idea of connecting/networking with consultants, whether they are professionally and personally interested in such networking, and if so, what they expect from others and themselves in future cooperation.
We gathered responses from 77 experts from 75 enterprises operating in various sectors (metal processing, wood processing, food industry, plastics and packaging industry, footwear production, IT, electronics, consulting, engineering services, and craftsmanship) across approximately 30 municipalities/cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This research builds upon and expands a previous study involving practitioners, as well as representatives of enterprises and institutions that support the business sector, exploring their interest, motivation, and preferences for establishing a network/community of practitioners who support the development of SMEs in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The findings of both studies will be consolidated into a new publication that will be released soon.
The research was conducted as part of the project “Advanced Implementation of the Small Business Act in BiH2EU – SBA in BiH2EU,” implemented by Eda in cooperation with the Sarajevo Economic Region Development Agency SERDA and financed by Sweden.
