Abstract

Many developing countries specifically focus on the small and medium-sized entrepreneurship agencies to cope with unemployment. Therefore, they try to provide the growth condition for the entrepreneurs by their supportive policies to make them develop the society by their creativity and innovation. On the other hand, many entrepreneurs face with the structural and behavioral problems in spite of the mentioned supports whose non-cognition will waste the capitals. Thus, formulating the entrepreneurship strategy for the small and medium-sized agencies (SMAs) is a useful step to develop employment. The general objective of this research by such approach is identification of the entrepreneurs’ problems and determination of the SMAs entrepreneurship strategy in the industry based on SWOT. Therefore, this research is applied and its methodology is descriptive. Its statistical population includes 40 prior experts and entrepreneurs who were selected in the annual festival for top entrepreneurs of the cooperative, labor, and social welfare of Mazandaran Province. In addition, there is no statistical sample in this research because the statistical population is limited and all data was selected. Then, employment and unemployment rate were described in the fifth plan, and each research variable was described and analyzed by descriptive statistics, central index (mean), and amounts of distribution (variance and standard deviation). The result show that employment role in the industry in the fifth plant of development is less than the agricultural and service part. Moreover, according to the research results, the problematic factors playing role in entrepreneurship include financial, managerial, regulations, human, method, and system factors.
