Strategic Innovation in Small Firms is an investigation of the
commercialization practices of small firms across a wide range of
industries in nine OECD countries. The authors examine the
perspective of these firms managers on their national innovation
systems and on their firm s innovation management practices. The
research is focused on understanding the process of innovation
management both from the perspective of the small firm and from a
broader strategic perspective. Drawing on a database of 567 cases,
the contributors examine the commercialization practices of small
to medium sized firms across a wide range of industries. They
suggest that there are more similarities than differences to be
found between countries and industries with size, level of R&D
intensity and type of innovation project being important points of
difference. The need for increased formality in the
commercialization of radical innovations is shown, although they
find that most small firms are not characterized by such formality
within their innovation management processes. This multinational
study in which a common methodology and case study survey protocol
is employed, will strongly appeal to academic researchers and
research students as well as policy makers engaged in the support
for innovation commercialization in SMEs. Entrepreneurs and small
business owners will also find plenty of invaluable information in
this unique and important resource.
