they may not support them because
they could support multinationals instead which may provide more job employment
small businesses might be ineffiecent unless trained

thats all i can think of :/

for details on why they should support, check the econ textbook it has points regarding this topic

Advantages could include:
  • Generates employment
  • Increases the GDP of a country
  • Large retailers often buy certain small components from small businesses
  • Potential exporters and therefore country could earn foreign exchange reserves
  • May reduce dependency on Imports
  • Allow competition and therefore abolish monopolistic activities which exploit the market
Disadvantages:
  • High risk of failure
  • Owners of small business might find it hard to obtain finance and with low finance, low standard products are produced
  • If small businesses are dependent on Imports for Raw material then country's exchange reserve could be depleted.
  • Had to monitor the business whether they are following rules and regulation properly and not involve in unethical activities.

What arr the limitations of skimming price strategy and penetration pricing strategy?
These types of pricing depends upon the market a firm is operating in. If a mass produced good is sold with skimming price strategy then it is bound to fail. Skimming price strategy is used for technological product for which the life span or the Product life cycle is very low, however, in case of brands like chocolate or soft-drink, producer might want to adopt penetration price strategy to gain maximum market share. So particularly, according to my logic, limitation of these strategies depends upon the product it self, rather than the strategies, independently.
