There is a high failure rate for SMEs during the start-up phase of 1 to 3 years, but also a significant failure rate in companies that are less than ten years old. Failure to innovate, the business process, and products and services are the key elements. This paper presents a typology of the Ćdeath signsĆ that can form the basis of a proactive innovation agenda. The concept of "preventive health care" is applied to product and process innovation, and cases are cited of companies taking such preventive steps. Drawing on literature and experience from the fields of technology and innovation management the paper focuses on specific methods of innovation that can help a small-to-medium-sized manufacturing firm thrive over the longer term. The concept of "recession-proofing" is also introduced and applied to innovation in SMEsNa podlagi obsežnega dela z malimi in srednje velikimi podjetji (MSVP-SMES) v tem prispevku predstavljamo zgodnje opozorilne znake v proizvodnih MSVP, ki lahko vodijo podjetje v poslovni zaton. V obdobju enega do treh let poslovanja propade največ podjetij, veliko podjetij pa propade tudi v prvih desetih letih. Ključni dejavniki so nezmožnost inovacij, vodenja poslovnih postopkov, proizvodov in storitev. Prispevek predstavlja tipologijo znakov umiranja, ki daje osnovo za dejaven inovacijski program. Zasnova "preventivnega zdravljena" se osredotoča na inovacijo izdelkov in postopkov z navedbo primerov podjetij, ki so uporabila tovrstne preventivne ukrepe. Z upostevanjem literature in izkušenj s področja tehnologije in menedžmenta inovacij se v tem prispevku osredotočamo na specifične metode inovacije, ki lahko malim in srednje velikim podjetjem omogoči uspeh. Vpeljali bomo tudi zasnove zavarovanja pred upadom na področju inovacije pri MSVPTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za strojništvo
