Abstract

Micro Small Medium Enterpriser’s actors face problems that hinder their innovation activities. Their needs met by supporting instruments have been investigated in a recent research project in Depok. Authors are searching for journals and books that are included in the range of global Google Scholar and the mainstream media news in Indonesia. Researchers apply Qualitative methods. The results for this area from the outset lead to the conclusion that some support needs to be directed, ignoring certain indicated MSMEs deficiencies: direct financial support neglecting the commercialization of innovation. The MSMEs find it difficult to interact with knowledge providers outside the business sector is not reduced by supporting instruments. In addition, they need to perform an adequate interface function for innovation-related resources and information from outside the region. There needs to be more proactive consulting on necessary strategic, organizational, and technological weaknesses because companies are often of these deficiencies. Researchers hope to convene researchers from other institutions to analyze the mentoring is right on target.
