| Abstract | The research study explores the contribution of small and medium enterprises in Vietnam to development impacts. Firstly, a framework is developed to measure the development impacts of SMEs in Vietnam. Based on a selected sample of SMEs in Ho Chi Minh City, data are collected to measure development impacts. Then comparison between the contribution of small enterprises and that of medium enterprises is conducted to give insights for managers, decision-makers and policy-makers. The findings reveal that SME sector makes significant contribution to development impacts on economy as well as society such as employment creation, income generation, education, health, gender, economic efficiency and economic linkages etc. The findings also present that investment in small enterprises is more efficient than in medium ones in term of income generation, employment creation, economic efficiency and economic linkages. However, in term of education, health, gender, infrastructure, investment in medium firms seems to be more efficient. Finally, some recommendations for improving business environment to promote development of small and medium enterprises are also suggested |
