Are High-Tech Companies More Competitive Than Others? An Empirical Study of Innovative and Exporting French SMEs

Résumé

The main objective of this research work is to question the relationship between the techno- logical intensity of SMEs (defined by the share of R&D expenditure in turnover, according to the OECD) and their growth potential (defined by their innovation and export capabilities). Through a multiple case study conducted with a panel of nine French SMEs, and through an analysis combining a qualitative approach (illustrative cases study) and a quantitative one (multidimensional statistical methods), several hypotheses were tested. Finally, this study points out that technological intensity, as defined by the OECD, is not directly correl- ated with the growth potential of SMEs. On the other hand, a company’s technological in- tensity would have an impact on the way it manages its innovation and internationalization process, and thus the way it manages its internal practices.
