Miguel González-Loureiro and Jose Pita-Castelo

Economics Letters, 2012, vol. 116, issue 3, 312-315

Abstract: Three components govern the impact of intangible management on the growth of SMEs: human, structural and relational capitals. The relationship with the institutional system of innovation (ISI) is novel. The results highlight that the ISI does not satisfy the needs of SMEs fully.
