Book Description
Growth and knowledge-intensity are 2 factors that are often posited to affect patterns of financing in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This study evaluates whether SME growth characteristics (past track records on growth and projections of future growth) play a role in shaping their financial makeup. It also investigates whether SMEs that operate in high-knowledge industries (industries where research and development and skilled workers are relatively more important) develop different financial characteristics than their counterparts in other sectors of the economy.

Book Description
This paper explores the financial characteristics of successful Canadian small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It asks whether industry membership and early growth history play a role in shaping these financial characteristics. Industry comparisons are based on production activity and knowledge intensity. Growth distinctions are based on the firm's employment and sales history. We evaluate our hypotheses with survey data from a stratified random sample of 2,775 Canadian firms. Proportional weighting techniques are utilized in all analyses. Our study reveals a strong correlation between capital structure and knowledge intensity. In contrast, growth histories are not obvious determinants of financial structure. Results also suggest that leverage strategies are more apparent in low-knowledge industries, in firms with higher expectations of future performance, and in businesses with more balanced financial structures.

Greentech Innovation and Diffusion
Author: Philipp Hoff
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3834936014
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
The world is going green. Sustainable technologies, such as renewable energy and electric vehicles, are increasingly becoming part of our daily life. This dissertation fills the ensuing gap by providing an insight into the emerging German greentech industry, one of the largest in the world. It develops an integrated and interdisciplinary theoretical framework in which to assess the relationships between innovation, growth and financing from a firm-level perspective; it then tests this framework empirically. In essence, the study finds that: (1) Innovative activity and corporate growth depend heavily on the availability of capital. At the same time, it appears that particularly innovative firms are more likely to face financial constraints. (2) A lack of funds is very apparent for around a quarter of the firms investigated and seems most severe in the early part of the growth state, where firms focus on commercializing existing products. (3) Government support programs only partially offset these effects
