Sustainability and Innovation Against the Techno-Corporate Gap: Evidence and Perspectives from the Italian-Romanian Partnership

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the status quaestionis of the techno-corporate gap in Romania and the potential prospects for early reduction. In this context it was possible to provide a specific contribution on this subject as further proof of the potential criticalities currently afflicting the modus operandi of small local Romanian firms. The evidence from Romanian small farms helps to understand how only through the technological reconversion and new business models, together with strategic partnerships, SMEs will be able to stand up to the multinationals and foreign companies.
