Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to propose the development of an evaluation model about public funding in the form of state aids towards small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Greece for the implementation of R%D and environmental projects. We argue that the proposed model could stand as an evaluation tool by the policymakers and regional and national authorities and a practical guide for investment planning by SMEs based on their emerging needs. The research methodology is based on the logical framework analysis and aims to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the design-reality gap in public funding. According to the findings, improvements in the design of state aids for R%D and environmental protection projects should include two main directions: (1) introduction of individual-specific measures in the initiatives that regard the operational framework of aids. (2) Reformation of the role of the financial system. Further analysis of measurements has confirmed that initiatives should be enacted to improve certain procedures relating to the operation of state aids additionally.

建立中小企业研发和环境项目公共资助的评估模型

本文的目的是建议建立一个评估模型，以国家援助的形式向希腊中小企业(SMEs)提供公共资金，以实施研发和环境项目。我们认为，所提出的模型可以作为政策制定者、地区和国家当局的评估工具，也可以作为中小企业根据其新出现的需求进行投资规划的实用指南。研究方法以逻辑框架分析为基础，旨在全面理解公共资助的设计与现实差距。根据研究结果，改进研发和环境保护项目的国家援助设计应包括两个主要方向:(1)在有关艾滋病运作框架的倡议中引入个人具体措施。(2)金融体制角色的改革。对各项措施的进一步分析证实，应采取主动行动，进一步改进与国家援助的运作有关的某些程序。

期刊介绍： The goal of the IJGSB is to explore the opportunities and threats of globalisation for small businesses as well as small businesses" strategic options in an increasingly global world. Dramatic changes in contemporary society and the economy have impacts on small businesses. The changing environment negatively influences the development and survival of smaller organisations in some areas and creates new opportunities for small businesses in others. Small firms" managers increasingly have to cope with global as well as local competitive dimensions. Research in this broad field thus is highly relevant.
