Abstract

Governments have given increased attention and resources to SME development not only to reduce poverty and to generate jobs but also to broaden and deepen the industrial structure. However, it is a continuing challenge to encourage SMEs in developing countries like Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines to innovate and upgrade their technological capabilities in spite of the different support mechanisms being made available to them.
