Rural entrepreneurs in a local community
Over the passed ten years a multi-structural rural economy was formed. Along with the large collective enterprises, farms, family business and other small and medium businesses have appeared in rural communities. The paper analyzes the economic and social status of these new actors within a rural community, their relations with a local community, local authorities, large collective enterprises, business partners and competitors. The issues of the formation and development of the rural small business as well as the reasons of conflicts and possibilities for cooperation between entrepreneurs and other social groups in the community are considered on the base of the sociological poll of the rural entrepreneurs and people. The factors promoting legalization of the entrepreneurship, a sponsor role of the entrepreneurs in providing local social services and initiator role in establishing cooperative units and associations are of special emphasis.
