Objective
The proposed project has the following main objectives :
- to improve the know-how and skills of consultants in promoting and monitoring the implementation of IMT's through their application in specific industrial cases;
- to make SMEs aware of the possibilities offered by IMTs in planning and implementing long-term business strategy;
- to define IMTs good practices for specific industrial sector's SMEs.
The following IMTs have been considered:
- Marketing of Innovation
- Technology watch
- Technology search
- Intelectual and Industrial property rights
- Quality management
For this project, it was decided to select SMEs only located in industry clusters, because:
- clusters are an important (and peculiar) part of Italian industry, whose success is studied world-wide;
- individual SMEs can be more easily contacted and selected through the local industrial association (or R&D centre or agency);
- each industry cluster is characterised by a well-defined business sector, so that it is possible to go deeper in the analysis and discussion of the specific problems related to the application of IMTs in that business area, arriving to identify specific IMT methodologies more easily and quickly applicable to that industry sector SMEs;
- 40 Innovation Consultancy Assignments will be carried out in SMEs of 8 selected industrial clusters;
- the last phase of results dissemination can be primary focused on the same industrial cluster, where consulting assignments have been performed, with possibility to extend it to clusters of the same industry sector or with the same management problems.
