The case for innovation and a clear, targeted strategy for planning and implementation that will help small- and medium-sized mature enterprises (SMMEs) thrive through reinvention and renewal. In contrast to large companies, SMMEs are on their own to win or lose in the marketplace. They may lack the relative economies of scale and scope, available to large companies, to understand and invest in innovation. Often they are in a position of sustained disadvantage with no perceived path of renewal. As SMMEs approach maturity, it is common for them to choose to only maintain what they believe to be the safety of maturity attained rather than to opt for a strategy that also includes constant reinv...

Innovationen sind für Unternehmen überlebensnotwenig – sie sind jedoch gleichzeitig mit hohen Risiken verbunden. Erfolgskritisch ist insbesondere die Informationsnutzung zu Beginn des Innovationsprozesses. Der Autor untersucht die Informationsnutzung in Familienunternehmen (FU) und Nicht-Familienunternehmen (Nicht-FU) in der frühen Phase des Innovationsprozesses. Hier zeigen sich eine stärkere Risikoaversion von FU bei gleichzeitiger Langfrist-Orientierung sowie auch deutliche Unterschiede in der Relevanz von strukturierten Prozessen. Ebenso kommt der Strategie eine unterschiedliche Rolle zu: In FU dient sie als Orientierungshilfe, in Nicht-FU ist sie die einzig zu verfolgende Richtung. Aus den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen ergeben sich sowohl für FU als auch für Nicht-FU konkrete Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten ihrer Wettbewerbsfähigkeit.
