Abstract
The indisputable
necessity to innovate brings to companies vital responsibilities such as
the inevitable errand of having consistent innovation and risk
management procedures along their projects. This work presents a risk
diagnosing methodology (RDM) web-platform, that can provide to Small and
Medium Enterprises (SMEs) the ability to identify and self-assess risks
associated with their innovative project’s portfolio, from the
project’s idealization to its commercialization. The creation of this
tool attempts to encourage SMEs on the systematic use of risk management
approaches, in order to increase project’s successful rates. As
groundwork, this paper also includes a bibliographical review and
comparative analysis of other existing risk management tools and models
available to SMEs. The present article also uncovers first empirical
results available from exploratory research done and reveals ongoing
research efforts regarding risk perception and potential bias
