Taking the business perspective of a small enterprise with focused technological capabilities, we examine here the role of innovations for competitiveness. We present a framework that is useful for classifying and characterising different types of technological innovations and describe their impact on firms’ capabilities.

In this context, we identify and discuss the needs of such enterprises for survival and growth and describe two alternative models of support to improve the success rate. | ||
