I started a PhD with the topic "Formation of an intellectual property management system in small innovative enterprises".
But now I want to change the topic to more narrow view: I'm working with smaill enterprises in sport area, and this data and expierence are very different. On one hand I have an innovatibe product for the competitions and very poor management and awful business process. On the other hand I have innovations in business process, good management, but no innovations in technology.
At previous steps of my research I studied different types of innovations and their meaning for small businesses. If I'll change the topic to more practical shape I could compare this enterprises and get more usefull information for the development of small businesses. What do you think, colleagues?
