Made in Ireland II - Benchmarking Irish SME Practice and Performance |
| Summary |
The competitiveness of manufacturing SMEs remains an important issue for companies, for support agencies and for the Irish economy as a whole. The 2005-6 Global Competitiveness Report ranked Ireland 26th, having moved up 4 places since 2004. But is this ranking indicative of the current state of the competitiveness of Irish SMEs and how has this state changed since 2001? These questions are addressed in this study. Over the period 2003-2005, data were collected from a total of 144 manufacturing companies assisted by Enterprise Ireland. The study compares these data with the data collected in the period 1997-2000 from the 151 similar companies which formed the basis of the first Made in Ireland report. |

Opportunities for Hydropower in Break Pressure Tanks |
| Summary |
The project aims to reduce the overall energy consumption of the water supply process by utilising excess pressures in the system to produce electricity to be used locally or sold back to the grid. It also aims to reduce the CO2 emission associated with water supply and provide the water supply industry with a mechanism to reduce the operating costs of supplying treated water. From a business and management research perspective there are two challenges, the first is how to build and to sustain a network of partners which can exploit this opportunity; the second is how to establish a venture to commercialise the research findings. |
