Projektbezogene Technologieförderung in kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen - Theoretische Aspekte und empirische Befunde
Public programs for the promotion of R&D and innovation in SMEs are being widely used in all German federal states and at federal government level. Limited public resources have questioned their efficiency. This article concentrates on questioning one central aspect of this topic: what financial instruments are - depending on characteristics of the individual context of the R&D program - most suitable for the requirements of state technology policy. The analysis is based on the innovation theory using expert interviews that collect cutting-edge experiences in technology promotion.
