Figure 3. The dynamics of the renewing intensity in Romanian SMES in 2003/2004 2010/2011 Another aspect associated with innovation is the integration of information technology.
Starting a couple of decades ago, information technology plays a critical role both in large and in small businesses.
The impact of using information technology can be strong in SMES from all fields of activity.
The Romanian SMES included in studied samples indicated the main forms of information technology they use.
However, even though the exploitation of information technologies is seen as being part of the process of innovation, this is also seen in the literature as being used only moderately by SMES (Baregheh, Rowley, Sambrock and Davies,
Figure 4. Dynamics of the use of IT in Romanian SMES in 2004/2005 2010/2011 Information technology is used in Romanian SMES mainly for communication purposes,
that SMES are exploiting information technology in a limited or, at best moderate way to improve product development processes.
Similarly, Ngugi, Johnsen and Erdelyi (2010) illustrated how the participation of SMES from the organic food and drink industry from UK in Internet based information systems with large supermarkets lead to the creation of inter-organizational systems

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. Robert Atkinson is the President of the Information technology and Innovation Foundation.
ABOUT ITIF The Information technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) is a Washington, D c.-based think tank at the cutting edge of designing innovation strategies and technology policies to create economic opportunities
For 2014, we project declines in defense and aerospace R&d, increases in energy-related research, increases in life science research and development, strong growth in information technology research investment and growth in R&d budgets for chemicals
Significant R&d investments by western countries in long-range technology platforms like robotics, highperformance computing, social media, software, costeffective energy sources and nanobiotechnology could stimulate rapid industry
and more powerful electronics with the increasingly pervasive Internet continues to drive innovation in networking and information technologies across all industries.

The evaluation of the Hungarian accredited innovation clusters should be harmonised with the evaluation systems of the European Cluster Observatory. 3. 4 Good Practice Case This section will analyse two cases of policy practice.
the development of electric vehicles and the related infrastructure is bound to benefit from increased policy support in the 2014 2020 programming period.
On the other hand, regional aid intensity will radically diminish in the new programming period. Over the 2007 2013 programming period, EU Structural Funds provided nonnegligible incentives that effectively stimulated the implementation of some relatively disadvantaged stakeholders'(small, undercapitalised enterprises')innovative ideas.
These incentives will vanish for the majority of innovative stakeholders. Only relatively large and well-capitalised actors will be able to apply for support of their innovative ideas

The focus is on an algorithm, with implicit underlying assumptions which need to be verified in terms of
where the bias depends on the algorithm used to estimate the variance). Therefore, this method does not fully assess the implications of imputation
The Expected maximisation (EM) algorithm is one of these iterative methods. 13 The issue is that X contains both observable and missing values, i e.
Each step is completed once within each algorithm cycle. Cycles are repeated until a suitable convergence criterion is satisfied.
An EM algorithm is also often easy to construct conceptually and practically. Besides each step has a statistical interpretation

but the computation may be cumbersome. Various values have been suggested, ranging from 25 (Efron & Tibshirani, 1991) to as high as 1000 (Efron,
In such cases, factors generated by the factor analysis algorithm will not be comprehensible. Likewise, the inclusion of multiple definitionally-similar individual indicators representing essentially the same data will lead to tautological results.
Cronbach coefficient alpha results for the 23 countries after deleting one individual indicator (standardised values) at a time. 4. 4. Cluster analysis Cluster analysis (CLA) is a collection of algorithms to classify objects such as countries, species,
including Euclidean and non-Euclidean distances. 18 The next step is to choose the clustering algorithm,
This algorithm can be applied with continuous variables, yet it can be modified also to accommodate other types of variables.
The algorithm starts with k random clusters and moves the objects in and out of the clusters with the aim of (i) minimising the variance of elements within the clusters,
