Innovative Activity of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises as a Factor of Economic Growth
Summary:
The article focuses on the innovative activity of small and medium-sized enterprises and on their role in the economy of Latvia. Despite the economic growth, which has been observed in the national economy during recent years, the innovative activity of most enterprises remains rather low. The transformation of the Latvian economy in the context of modernization implies the increase in its competitiveness on the European and global markets and therefore leads to the increase of the role of SMEs.
