In
reality, innovative initiatives within SME circles
sometimes develop in small groups
(or, in some cases, with a single entrepreneur), which
give the organization the ideas,
experience competencies and management skills needed to
realize a business idea. The results are often excellent
in the short term but as market contexts extend beyond
local limits and assume, first, a national character and
then, (increasingly frequently), an
international one, there is a need to rationalise management
systems and modalities of
innovation development, so that organizational development
may be address according to improvised non-methodological
lines.
On one hand, this is because the economic, production and
distribution systems become increasing complex and, on
the other, the knowledge frontier (as seen with Internet
solutions) is constantly moving forward, requiring constant
updating, needs assessment, internal improvement, all valuable
for maintaining a competitive advantage.
Especially in Knowledge-based enterprises, as SME's often
are, an individual ability must become an organisational
asset or, to be more precise, one of the decision, management
and operational modalities established inside the organization
and this can only happen via an adequate training course.
