Due to complexities in the value chain of innovation and in core technologies CRTS are characterised by large amounts of enabling know-how not necessarily codified and not necessarily patented.
The core business is not always stable. Sometimes customer requirements change and suppliers, too, must change their business.

Companies chosen business models are dependent on their core business. Companies, furthermore, have individual structures, locations, types of organization and so on.
Many governments and universities strongly support the interconnection between teaching and research as one of the core principles of higher education.
Their importance is assessed through a combination of an objective and truly unique internal monitor based on citation relationships among journals with assessments by experts from the various fields.
One of the indicators applied in the internal monitor is nowadays known as the journal impact factor.
