The individual micro entrepreneur is self employed and legalized as a small businessman. It is perceived that this is a fast growing business category in Brazil as new autonomous business opportunities raise in the country. The aim of this article is to analyze the socioeconomic profile of micro entrepreneur individuals at Independência Shopping Centre in Santa Maria-RS-Brazil after the implementation of MEI. The methodology utilized in this research was based on primary data gathered from questionnaire assessment applied to store owners from the 4th to 9th November 2013. Results indicate that the majority of participants interviewed were literate, age ranged between 15 – 69 years old and have completed fundamental education. The data revealed that individuals’ quality of life has improved despite their decreasing profitability, also that there is considerable diverging opinions with respect to the advantages and disadvantages of local shop owners being relocated to the Shopping Centre premises. It was concluded that despite the improvement in shop owners´ social well-being, entrepreneurs request more attention to be provided to their work establishment from the administrative Municipal level. Additionally, shop owners claim for more advertisement of the Shopping Centre as an attempt to enhance their own sales.Downloads

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
