Science and technology parks as a tool for innovative business support
EIBLOVÁ, Eva
The aim of this work is to evaluate the activities of science and technology parks (STP) and their benefits for the development of small and medium-sized businesses in South Bohemian Region. Analysis of available information and research on a selected group of small and medium-sized firms showed that: a) There are suitable conditions to support innovative activities of small and medium-sized companies in the region, including sufficient spare capacity in the existing STP. b) There is a little awareness about the possibilities of a cooperation among STP and small and medium-sized enterprises in the region. c) Firms are willing and ready to innovative behavior d) Firms have a small interest to cooperate with STP Application of innovation is a key precondition for any company to keep pace with market developments and maintaining competitiveness. Small businessmen are showing some innovative intention, but usually do not have funds enough for their development and subsequent application. Another problem presents itself willingness and readiness of companies to innovative behavior. Sometimes there is not enough trust that the dedication to develop any innovations will improve the situation. Small and medium-sized businesses which are considered to be the basic building blocks of country economic stability are quite reluctant and show no or just a little awareness to cooperate with STP in the region. Hence, cooperation with STP remains an unexplored opportunity and remains a challenge for the future.
