Enterprise research

Community Innovation UK regularly undertakes research looking at key enterprise issues. Sometimes this research is based on local geographic areas and at others it looks at the wider issues facing a particular sector. Recent studies have included a research project funded by the Department for Trade and Industry’s Phoenix Fund. The research addressed the question of why social enterprises are reluctant to invest in marketing and the report is due to be published by Co-Active later in 2006.
