Book excerpt: Excerpt from Business Planning and Progress of Small Firms Engaged in Technology Development Through the Advanced Technology Program This report provides a statistical overview of participation, strategies, and progress of small firms (with fewer than 500 employees) compared with medium - to-large firms (grouped together and referred to as larger firms in this report, and defined here as firms with 500 or more employees) engaged in technology development. The report is based on data collected in 1997 from 401 firms in 210 projects funded by the Advanced Technology Program (atp) during the period 1993 through 1996. The emphasis in this report is on the firm rather than the project, particularly as concerns joint ventures. The report represents a snapshot comparison of small firms with larger firms at a point in time, but at various stages of their technology development projects. Some of the atp-funded projects in the data set have just begun, while others have recently been completed. Business plans and progress evolve continually over the course of the research projects, as well as subsequently. The report focuses on the unique challenges faced by small firms engaged in technology development and commercialization, and documents the experiences of small firms that have received partial government funding for technology development projects.
