Endogenous concepts of regional development are currently being enforced in the regional policy of the state. This fact is reflected in the specific attention given to small and medium-sized. Therefore, we have assumed differences in the qualitative characteristics of small and medium-sized enterprises in underdeveloped and developed regions, as well as the presence of a relationship between the level of a region's development and the qualitative characteristics of small and medium-sized enterprises. To identify the qualitative characteristics of small and medium-sized enterprises in underdeveloped and developed regions, we applied a two-step cluster analysis. An analysis of the results showed a smaller percentage representation of innovative elements in the qualitative characteristics of small and medium-sized enterprises in underdeveloped regions. By binary regression analysis, we have determined significance of qualitative characteristics of small and medium-sized enterprises in the underdeveloped and developed regions.

Keywords: binary logistic regression analysis, regional development, regional policy, small and medium-sized enterprises, two-step cluster analysis
