Abstract

Globalization and competitiveness have affected how businesses engage in innovation, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). According to the European Commission (2013), 99% of businesses in Europe are SMEs. SMEs worldwide are regarded as the lifeblood of economies.

SMEs help create jobs and increase economic competitiveness, especially in times of crisis. This study aims at identifying the specificity of innovational activity in SMEs and the main barriers to carrying out these activities. It was developed also a case study for Romania’s Development Region 2 South East (SE).
