Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Several reports have established that allergic diseases are increasing worldwide. Despite our knowledge that heredity influences the progress of asthma in childhood, it is been claimed that fetal environmental factors occurring during pregnancy might be of importance for the development of the disease. Attempts to identify a predictive marker of disease development in the cord blood cellularity have given conflicting results. Both proliferative and cytokine responses have been detected in cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMC), suggesting in utero allergen priming. OBJECTIVE: To deter

This thesis focuses on the use of open innovation in SMEs. Open innovation helps to explain how small firms with fewer resources are able to successfully compete against larger firms. This work begins with a literature review, which analyses a decade of research into the topic, and provides a framework to categorise the barriers to open innovation in SMEs. The most frequent barriers found originate within the firm, at an organisational and cultural level. Following this is a quantitative study into the use of IPR, namely patents, industrial designs, trademarks and copyrights, in SMEs. A key re

Abstract:

This thesis addresses a gap in the literature relating to the financing of technology-based SMEs in China, more specifically, it examines the sources and types of finance sought and used by high-tech SMEs in relation to the various stages of their development since China's 'reform and opening' in 1978.

However, most of these prior studies focused mainly on e-commerce awareness or factors that influence e-commerce adoption. This study, on the other hand, attempts to develop a holistic insight into e-commerce adoption by SMEs. It investigates why some SMEs adopt e-commerce readily, and others do not. In addition, this study investigates the appropriateness of government support for SMEs encouraging them to adopt e-commerce. There is very little research that asse
