Synopsis "The Impact of Participation in Publicly Funded r&d Projects on Firm Competitiveness: Benefits and Barriers to the use of National and eu Funding. Swiss Smes in the Field of Renewable Energy"

Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 5.5, University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland, language: English, abstract: This thesis studies the involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in publicly funded research and development (R&D) projects.

SMEs with previous experience in such projects were well-informed about the specifics of a participation prior to filing an application, whereas a substantial lack of information exists on the pa
