| Abstract: | This research aims to provide an overview of factors that influence SBIR-based procedures. This means that this research tries to find new influencing factors for future dedicated research and provide an overview for scholars and practitioners. This overview is helpful for governments when making policy decisions on how to design an SBIR-based program and what factors need to be taken into account. This was done by making an overview of factors from previous research into SBIR procedures and other governmental innovation research literature. Then expert interviews were conducted and secondary data sources such as program evaluations were analysed, these findings were summarised in an overview. The overview from the results is largely different from the overview from previous literature, largely due to this thesis's general and qualitative nature. The findings show that firstly, the whole procedure should focus on accessibility, clarity and informality. Secondly, a new trend has been identified, which is that organisations that perform an SBIR-based procedure are starting to focus more on the external environment, for example, by analysing in which innovations venture capital money is invested. |
