In order to develop or protect competitive advantages, companies, besides other initiatives, increasingly invest more and more in research and development (R&D) to foster innovation and dynamic capabilities. Consequently, discussions about the effectiveness and benefit of R&D expenditure have become popular in the recent years. This paper is dealing with the topic "Does research pay? An analysis of R&D expenditure and economic performance in small and medium-sized enterprises (SME)".
