\nTo counter this threat, small businesses need to work together and support each other in order to create an environment where SMEs can thrive, create more jobs, and grow the economy.<\/p>\n
The grim truth<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhat many don\u2019t realise is that by supporting the bigger multinational corporations, they unintentionally disable small business growth.<\/p>\n
This doesn\u2019t support the growth of the continent\u2019s local economy and does not contribute as much to the country\u2019s GDP, leaving South African entrepreneurs and small businesses under the threat of globalisation.<\/p>\n
Further to this, when these multi-national corporations then downsize to increase profits, the country is left with mass unemployment.<\/p>\n
Not supporting SMEs only adds to the waning economic confidence levels which have been ascribed to the youth unemployment rate (which is above 60%), imminent large-scale job cuts in some key sectors and slow gross domestic product (GDP) growth, according to Mark Walker, associate VP for Sub-Saharan Africa at the IDC.<\/p>\n
