description This master thesis presents a study on the impact of the business plan on the development of small and medium size enterprises in the food processing sector in the Republic of Macedonia and its importance in the modern competitive market environment. Among economists and entrepreneurs a widely spread opinion is that the greatest impact on economic development of a national economy are small and medium size enterprises. The successful development of small and medium size enterprises requires detailed analysis of the market structure, industry, product and competition. The most detailed analysis of the previously mentioned elements is provided by a business plan that should lead to clarification of some aspects unknown to the original understanding of the directions of the enterprise. A business plan is important for entrepreneurs and managers because it allows than to more clearly understand what needs to achieve, when they need to achieve these and how they can achieve them. For entrepreneurs the process of planning and thinking is as important as the final business plan. In order to develop an appropriate and sustainable business plan requires it to be developed in detail by the entrepreneur or manager of the company, using several types of business plans examples of similar businesses, and the corresponding expert support. When the business plan is developed that will adequately serve the entrepreneur and the enterprise as a kind of guide to meeting the objectives and contribute to the development of strategic thinking for the entrepreneur.

Овој магистерски труд преставува студија за влијанието на бизнис планот врз развојот на малите и средни претпријатија во претпријатијата од прехранбената преработувачка индустрија и неговата важноста во рамките на современото конкурентско пазарно опкружување. Меѓу економистите и претприемачите широко е распространето мислењето дека најголемо влијание на економскиот развој на една национална економија имаат малите и средните претпријатија. За успешен развој на малите и средните претпријатија потребна е детална анализа на структурата на пазарот, индустријата, производот и конкуренцијата. Најдобра детална анализа на претходно споменатите елементи овозможува бизнис планот кој треба да доведе до разјаснување на некои непознати аспекти и до првично согледување на насоките на развој на претпријатието. Бизнис планот има големо значење за претприемачите и менаџерите бидејќи им овозможува појасно да разберат што треба да постигнат, кога треба да го постигнат и како можат да го постигнат. За претприемачите самиот процес на планирање и размислување е исто толку значаен колку и самиот финален бизнис план. Со цел да се изработи соодветен и издржан бизнис план потребно е истиот да биде детално разработен од страна на претприемачот или менаџерот на претпријатието, притоа користејќи повеќе видови на примери бизнис планови на слични бизниси, како и соодветна експертска поддршка. Кога бизнис планот е соодветно изработен тој ќе му служи на претприемачот и на самото претпријатие како еден вид на водич до исполнување на целите и ќе придонесе за развој на стратешкото размислување кај претприемачот.
