PROACTIVE NETWORKING in Business Management of European SMEssmepro.eu

AIMSSmall and Medium Enterprises are acknowledged all over the world as the drivers of economic growth. The

“Small Business Act” for Europe reflects the Commission’s political objective to recognize the role of SMEs in the

European economy.

During the last years the new networking technology (based on Open Source web 2.0 applications) offers effective

tools for SMEs, to gear up their professional and business activities from the productive teamwork up to effective

online marketing. However the delivery of this knowledge should be more effective by using the networking tools

the content is talking about, by establishing an environment for “learning by doing”.

SME 2.0 consortium will establish online training for European Small and Medium Enterprises based on the

transferred methodology from SMELearning LdV project (www.smelearning.eu), with strong focus on the

special characteristics and needs of the SMEs. The training will be delivered through a successful collaborative

e-learning solution, developed in the TENEGEN LdV project (http://tenegen.eu), to support heavy collaboration

and knowledge sharing among the managers and employees of European SMEs, and to recognize the business

potential of the newest open source web based tools, and establish a space for a business oriented community

of practice.

OBjECTIVES

• establishing proactive networking platform (SME 2.0 PNP) with four modules (Information and knowledge

management, Project management, Online marketing, Human resource management) with special focus on

the needs of the target group, in practice oriented approach,

• formulating the recommendation towards the EU level recognition of SME 2.0 certificate,

• prepare SME 2.0 course for accreditation in the Hungarian Adult Accreditation System.

Aims and Objectives

TA R G E T G R O U P S• managers, employees, owners of European SMEs.,

• teachers and trainers of vocational education;

• policy makers, European e-learning providers.

Using free Web 2.0 applications for SMEs business daily practice

Needs-analysisDo you use a PC or Internet in your enterprise?Probably only a few small businesses responding to this

question “No”.

The real question is, how much does a computer cost, how much is the software, how much is that the

company have an own website.

In the last few years there has been a huge change in terms of cost:

the internet offers a variety of free software for website creating, advertising products and services,

economic planning, or for example working together online.

• But how to get these applications?

• How difficult to use them?

• Are they really free?

We designed a survey in order to accurately determine the needs of small enterprises in their daily practice,

whether it is true that few people know the above mentioned free tools and services. Based on the needs-analysis

free training course will start trough the Internet about using Web 2.0 tools for business in first quarter of 2013.
