Since technology is a versatile tool that can be deployed strategically, the authors hypothesize that there are certain non-random combinations of technology and business strategy choices that lead to superior performance. Findings from a sample of SMEs in the Spanish electronics industry show that there is a positive relationship between a co-alignment of the two strategies (business and technological innovation) and firm performance. In practical terms, this study shows that although SMEs can achieve equally good performance with different business strategies, within every business strategy, entrepreneurs must emphasize different sets of technological innovation dimensions to outperform the competition.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest synteza diagnozy doświadczeń funkcjonowania regionalnych strategii innowacji (Regional Innovation Strategy - RIS) ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem potrzeby i możliwości wspierania ich rozwoju w procesie absorpcji funduszy strukturalnych w nowym okresie budżetowym Unii Europejskiej (lata 2007-2013). Autor skoncentrował uwagę na analizie najlepszych praktyk przodujących polskich regionów (województw) w tej dziedzinie. Zarysował również koncepcję poszukiwania nowego modelu regionalnych strategii innowacji w Polsce.

Subject. This article discusses the development of a differentiated strategy of innovative development taking into account the distinguishing features of Russia's regions. Objectives. The article aims to improve the effectiveness of innovative development strategies for Russian regions, which vary in the level of science, technology, and innovation capacities. Methods. For the study, we used statistical, and economic and mathematical methods, normalization principle, the methods of comparative, and expert and sociological analyses, foresight techniques, and original region assessment techniques. Results. The article presents certain criteria for differentiation of Russia's regions, taking into account the level of development of scientific and technical activities, and it proposes three modifications of the regional innovation strategy, corresponding to the main types of Russian regions by scientific and technological development. Conclusions. A differentiated approach to a regional innovation strategy development can improve the efficiency and targeting of government innovation policies by making better use of available resources.

Small and Medium Enterprises and Indonesian Cooperatives (SMESCO) are strategies in promoting and introducing Indonesia's superior products to the international community. Through SMESCO, SME owners can work together on standardization of SME products, SME quality standardization and at the same time a forum for fostering SMEs to market their products, through human resource development programs including seminars, training, workshops and product introduction through online shops and mentoring programs. The research aims to prove and analyse the influence of: innovation strategies on the performance of SMEs in SMESCO Indonesia directly or through competitive advantage; innovation strategy towards competitive advantage; competitive advantage towards the performance of SMEs at SMESCO Indonesia. The research population is all SME companies that partner with SMESCO Indonesia. Sampling is done by probability sampling with a simple random sampling method. Data analysis using Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Squares, a sample of 147 small and medium business owners at SMESCO Indonesia. The results of the study prove: (1) The innovation strategy does not directly have a significant effect on the increasing performance of SME companies in SMESCO Indonesia but has a significant effect through competitive advantage; (2) Competitive advantage has a significanteffect on the increasing performance of SMEs in Indonesia.

Abstract Tantalum finds its largest use in the electronics industry, where it is used in filaments, filament supports, and capacitors. Metallurgical grade tantalum is used extensively in chemical process equipment. Tantalum resists corrosion by body fluids and is used in prosthetic devices. Its high melting point gives it utility in vacuum furnace components. It is also used as an alloying element in superalloys. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Ta-11. Producer or source: Cabot Corporation.
