Abstract

This chapter studies ways of supporting sustainable growth in high technology small firms by managing innovation. The chapter examines technology-based and knowledge-intensive business service firms (KIBS) and their innovation management in Finland. The goal is to find at least one meaningful innovation process for a small KIBS firm that takes growth into consideration. In this chapter, incremental, radical, disruptive, open and systemic innovation are seen from a small KIBS firm perspective and a model that combines these types of innovation is presented. Two cases of high technology-based small KIBS firms are also selected for closer examination.
