Features: After China's entry into the WTO, in-depth research on WTO rules has become a widely discussed topic in academia. In recent years, how to support technological innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has also been a major concern for academia, businesses, and the government in China. This book connects these hot topics by conducting an in-depth study on the construction of a support system for SME technological innovation under the WTO framework. The book first provides a comprehensive analysis of the current support system for SME technological innovation in China and the WTO rules related to it, fully highlighting the differences between China's SME technological innovation support system and its WTO compliance planning. It systematically elaborates on the content and characteristics of SME technological innovation support systems in some developed countries and typical developing countries and regions, as well as the lessons and insights for China in constructing its own SME technological innovation support system. By establishing an evaluation index system and a multi-level fuzzy evaluation model for the SME technological innovation support system, the book conducts a comprehensive evaluation of the systems in six countries: the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Japan. On this basis, it formulates design principles for China's SME technological innovation support system under the WTO framework and constructs such a system. Finally, it proposes countermeasures and suggestions for improving China's SME technological innovation support system. This book serves as a reference for government officials, business managers, and church researchers who are interested in or working in the field of SME research.
