Hi-tech Development, Productivity Increases and Networking: A Systemic Approach to the Development of Small and Medium Enterprises

Chapter 1 in High Technology, Productivity and Networks, 2008, pp 3-31 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The current context of market globalization has been significantly changing the economic reality in all countries. Technological progress in telecommunications and infrastructures in general, and the strict adoption of the liberalization doctrine within the framework of the World Trade Organization, has promoted the entry of a large number of new competitors within national and local markets, including developing countries. Economic analysis needs to incorporate these changes and to propose models and strategies to be modulated according to each specific context (e.g. developing countries, economies in transition, industrialized countries).
