Abstract

It is well known that both small and medium-sized enterprises play significant roles in economic development. One of the main problems of these types of businesses stems from their size, which often causes serious difficulties like relatively high transaction costs and the inability to exploit the economies of scale. Possible ways to approach these challenges are in the different co-operation networks. In recent research, the motivations that lead to networking are reviewed. There are several explanatory causes why certain enterprises seek the opportunity to cooperate with others. Generally, the main objective of the co-operation is to reach such benefits that can not be independently achieved, or ideally to achieve collective efficiency. The wide-ranging literature of the topic has been systematized to point out those factors that are most commonly mentioned as the benefits of co-operations. In most cases, if these causes arise as explanatory factors of co-operation, it can be assumed that they determine the peculiarities of networks. The last part of the paper presents the results of two empirical surveys that were conducted in Szeged and its sub-region. They demonstrate the nature and the expected benefits of co-operations.
