Though the value of statistical information and analysis is beneficial, it doesnot provide an in-depth view of the effects and benefits on small businesses, theirowner(s) and the resultant innovation outcomes. Specifically, most research undertakenin evaluating the outcomes of innovation policy often do no more than broad and insome cases, industry specific statistical analyses, surveys and short interviews.
