Abstract: This economic research was based on the literary analysis, various empirical studies and statistical versus qualitative research in 500 problematic companies mainly in the East of Slovakia. Businesses received about 100 questions about innovation management, innovation support, strategic planning, roadmapping, risk management, etc. These statistical results were completed by the expert consultations in 2018–2019. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that these problematic companies are mainly micro-companies with up to 10 employees (mostly Ltd.), mainly in the construction, engineering, automotive, rubber, and plastic industries. These companies are dominated by piece and series production. The use of RM processes was minimal and only applied in larger companies (TR ≥ 500 000 €). The roadmapping processes have been greatly simplified and unsystematic, mainly based on the requirements of business owners or top managers.
