Research Abstract |
This research examined the relationship between the economy and SMEs when the economic environment had drastically changed. In particular, the results of the study on Academic spin-offs demonstrated that these firms were severely affected by the slump on the new stock market and the Global Financial Crisis. Another study investigated the status of intellectual property activities in SMEs. They were in part presented at conferences and discussed with professionals and scholars.
