The\nUniversity of Macau (UM) Faculty of Business Administration (FBA) and the Bank\nof China (BOC) (Macau Branch) jointly organised the first workshop of the\nOnline Workshop Series for owners of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)\nin Macao on 18 April 2020. Titled \u2018Coping Strategies in Anti-Epidemic\nEnvironment\u2019, the workshop was part of FBA\u2019s Executive Development Programmes\n(EDPs), which aim to encourage greater communication among enterprises and to\npromote innovative thinking to help enterprises seek opportunities for\ndiversified development.<\/p>
In view\nof the negative impact of the novel coronavirus epidemic on Macao\u2019s economy,\nthe first EDP focused on the actual needs of local SMEs during this critical\ntime, and it attracted dozens of executives. Aside from academic interpretation\nof the government\u2019s policies designed to lessen the impact of the coronavirus\nepidemic on Macao by UM scholars, financing specialists from local SMEs\npresented various financing proposals. Participants provided valuable feedback\nduring the Q&A session, with some saying that the EDP would allow local\nSMEs to plan more proactively and effectively for the support measures launched\nby the Macao SAR government.<\/p>
The organisers expect\nthat these workshops on various SME-related topics will provide local SMEs with\nvaluable and prompt opinions and suggestions during the present pandemic so\nthey can make better decisions and find new opportunities to develop their\nbusinesses.<\/p>
