Abstract

The BRICS Project compares the National Innovation Systems of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. This chapter is an annex to the book, which summarizes the role of small and medium enterprises within national innovation systems using the analogy of the “small fish in a big pond.” It argues that the NIS concept can be usefully employed to focus on the processes of interaction, cooperation, learning, and development of capabilities in small and medium firms (SMEs).
