SMEs' Innovation and Export Capabilities: Identification and Characterization of a Common Space Using Data Spatialization

Numerous publications try to identify and test empirically the link between innovation and export to explain firms' competitiveness. But it seems that several ways of thinking coexist, without a real consensus. This article proposes a different approach, by considering innovation and export not...
