And enterprises are important because they deliver innovation. But ultimately, innovation is what creates social value.

Innovation can emerge in places and from people outside of the scope of social entrepreneurship and social enterprise.

therefore, EU policy, social enterprises contribute to social cohesion, employment and the reduction of inequalities,

In its view, social enterprises seek to serve the community's interest (social, societal, environmental objectives) rather than profit maximisation.

Seemingly, the EU Commission sees social enterprises as often having an innovative nature, through the goods or services they offer,

which is open to social enterprises. Additionally, EU funding can be found under the EU Structural and Investment funds.

Framework conditions The European commission aims to improve the conditions for social innovation and social enterprises in Europe, for instance through the EU single market, the Social Business Initiative and its 11 key actions.

A digital agenda for European SMEs.pdf

The increasing emphasis placed on the role of the digital capability for the European recovery (European commission 2010b) raises the question of how the digital agenda can effectively engage the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) sector

even though 49%of SMES already exchange data in an automated fashion with other ICT systems outside their own enterprise (Giannakouris and Smihily 2010.

and a general resurgence in enterprise activity have provided a supportive environment for the incubation of a new system of financing businesses:‘

The EU development strategy on social innovation is to connect research organisations, with innovation agencies and with other types of intermediary enterprises:

or social enterprises are getting stronger. They attract growing attention, funding, and great expectations from citizens, from governments and from international funding bodies.

The analysis of the interplay between governments, NGOS, development agencies, industry and social enterprises is called multi-stakeholder analysis. It would be incorrect to see social innovation as a new or isolated concept or as a disruptive innovation.

DG Enterprise funds a social innovation platform (circa 5000 users) and organizes a competition in honour of social innovator Diogo Vasconcelos.

For example the Social Business Initiative is related a policy activity at the level of the enterprise (or firm) and market legislation:

Considering the typology of organisation engaged, 194 are social enterprises, charities or foundation, 183 are businesses,

Even small and medium-sized enterprises (SMES) are no more immune to the challenges that the globalization brings about.

Three Phases of a Simplified Innovation Process 2. 2 Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMES) The term small and medium-sized enterprises (SMES) consists of two components:

while the second component enterprise relates to the economic nature of that entity. An enterprise,

as defined by the European commission (EC) in Article 1 of its recommendation on definition of micro,

small and medium-sized enterprises, may be understood as any entity engaged in economic activity, irrespective of its legal form (EC, 2003a).

R. Tiwari and S. Buse (October 2007) Page 6 of 31 In a differing approach the European commission defines SMES as enterprises which employ fewer than 250 persons and

which represented 99%of all enterprises in the enlarged European union of 25 countries while providing around 75 million jobs (EC, 2003b).

In Germany, according to Ifm Bonn1, SMES accounted for 99.7%of all enterprises in year 2005

Recent calculations by the authors of this paper, based on Germany's official statistics portal data, show that the high percentage of SMES amongst all enterprises continues to remain high.

As on 31.12.2006 large firms (with 250 employees or more) constituted a miniscule 0. 33%of all enterprises.

Of 3, 215,238 enterprises active on the aforementioned date an overwhelming 3, 204,519 were SMES (with less than 250 employees.

For instance only 39.1%of the total turn over generated by all enterprises in Germany in 2005 went into SMES'account (Ifm, 2007b.

including the majority of foreign investment enterprises. The region is developed characterised by infrastructure, high motorway density, good accessibility, intensive entrepreneurship and a high share of foreign investment.

The number of active enterprises was however much lower at 274,673. The intensity of entrepreneurship activity (number of active enterprises per thousand inhabitants) is the highest in Hungary at 93.3 (in 2009) versus 69,

which is the national average. In Budapest, the respective indicator is 109. Higher-than-the-average entrepreneurship is explained with the concentration of economic activity in this region and with the above average development level of supporting institutions and industries.

The latest data for enterprises with foreign investment are available for the end 2009: their number was 20,552,

A large share of the head offices of R&d-intensive multinational enterprises (MNES) is located in CH.

Although the majority of innovative and R&d-intensive enterprises is concentrated in CH, the share of public investment in RTD financing is still quite high at roughly 40,

i e. with the region's above average share of innovative foreign enterprises and with its specialisation in knowledge-intensive services and in high-tech industries.
