The concept of sustainable development has become an inevitable reference for political leaders and international organisations. According to its institutional promoters, sustainable development must combine three aspects that are imperative: growth, reduction of poverty and preservation of ecosystems
Combining these imperatives represents hard work and can be difficult for small industrial businesses. Together they are responsible for the economy of a region in the way they involve themselves in society and directly contribute to the country’s growth as well as economic and social development.
There is still no clear definition of the factors influencing the economic results of small enterprises which implement social and economic management with corporate social responsibility. Therefore, it is the aim of this paper to elaborate on this paradox, by looking into Small and Medium-sized enterprises which follow that management model, checking whether it is possible to combine economic development and social development and still obtain more profitability.
This research refers to the important study area of sustainability because it focus on industries which are based in the South of Legal Amazon.

The last few years, the European Union rural policies are focused on a balanced rural development and especially with a major support on less favoured areas. This can be achieved by differentiation strategies focused on support and promote the local products of each area. The main aim of this process is to create synergies among the local producers and the various distributors, and more over to add value on the final local product. The importance of the quality of the products has created a world trend on nutritional topics. This has caused a highly competitive food market, and the aspect of quality and locality can be a unique asset for sustain competitiveness on a global scale. Consumers, the last years, are getting more and more interested on the origin of their food not only for healthy reasons but also for an inner need to satisfy the lack of ‘original’ and ‘traditional’ flavours and tastes of their daily life.
The present research paper will try to underline the importance on the local economy of the local nutrition products and especially on countries on economic crisis for the last few years like Greece. It is a fact that the last few years there is a world trend on consuming healthy eco friendly products that are connected with the territory of production, also called as local nutrition products or local food products. Furthermore there is an increasing amount of local products all over the world and also a number of various specific shops and restaurants that the consumer can buy or taste those local products. Also the research paper will try to investigate a new frame on the consume of healthy products and also the new trends on the topic.
The research is based on a representative sample of 670 adult persons and the questionnaires distribution covers the country.
The methodology used for the analysis is based on emplementation of multinominal logistic regression (MLR).

Social entrepreneurship has emerged by the idea of solving social problems from the viewpoint of entrepreneurship. As a means of social change, social entrepreneurship leads progress in society by creative solutions. Social entrepreneurship considers activities creating innovative solutions to social problems such as poverty, education, employment, environmental problems, and disadvantaged groups. Besides their positive social impacts, these activities are economically beneficial as well. Therefore, social entrepreneurship provides sustainable regional development through socio-economic returns and social capital. While emphasizing social development and transformation is of critical importance in regional development, this study investigates the impacts of social enterpreneurship and reveals the changes and transformations in society.

This paper aims to investigate the role of social entrepreneurship in development and to understand what changes it may have caused in society. While addressing the successful social enterprises belonging to ASHOKA Turkey and TUSEV, the paper aims to assess the social impacts of these enterprises. The data and information used for the assessment was gathered by a survey questionnaire and factor analysis was employed as a methodology in order to reveal the critical impact factors in changing and transforming the society. The results of our assessment reveal that social entreprises/initiatives play an important role as; (i) an intermediary of social inclusion and creating awarenesss in Turkey; (ii) an agent providing employment and income, especially for disadvantaged groups and young people; and (iii) organizations that make differences in the public and private sectors. Among the factors that our analysis results reveal, the most important impact created by social enterprises emerges as social inclusion and creating awareness. Social enterprises/initiatives raise awareness by projects, trainings and seminars and create a common awareness for the solution of social problems by increasing the sensitivity and participation of society. The paper goes beyond the general evaluation of social entrepreneurship and considers important conclusions in terms of measuring the wider social impacts created. Against the limited number of studies, the paper also contributes to the literature and filling the the gap in this field.

The main challenge for the world’s economies today is the process of building innovation systems. The methodological basis for this is the Triple Helix Model, describing the cooperation areas and forms between universities, businesses and government in the innovation sphere and its "evolution" sequel - the Quadruple-Helix Model, which includes the civil society as well.
In Russia the national innovation system formation has proceeded on the basis of close cooperation between the authorities, business and science. It was particularly important for the resilient regions. In 1920 in Russia, in the Kemerovo Region, the Kuzbass Autonomous Industrial Colony, led by a Dutchman, Sebald Rutgers, was founded. It acted on the basis of foreign concessions and gave the impetus to the modern industry development in the region through the usage of foreign machines, foreign experts’ competencies, advanced industrial technologies (electrification, telegraph, radio, piping water) and the building industry (Van Lochem, a Dutch architect). That was a vivid example of the "export" of innovation intellectual component between the countries with an active government, business and science participation.
Nowadays the new organizational and economic diffusion tools (transfers) of intellectual activity results as the basis for municipalities’ innovative development have appeared in the Resilient Regions. The tools take into account the features of these regions.
Practice has shown that intellectual property management processes harmonization based on collateral mechanisms can significantly speed up the innovation implementation process and serve the equalization of socio-economic development of the Resilient Regions. This is a new phenomenon in Russia. Therefore, up-to-date European countries and Dutch’s experience in the field of intellectual property management in the real economy is so important.
In recent years in Russia an institutional leap towards the formation of intellectual property investment institutions has been taken in Russia. In 2015 more than 20 Russian banks concluded 55 contracts of pledge over the patent right objects. The role of regional funds supporting small and medium-sized innovative companies and providing on behalf of the state a part of the pledges to commercial banks has been growing.
The current report provides an analysis of the European countries and the Netherlands’ experience in the intellectual property management field. The ways of its adaptation to the Russian conditions are offered. It is concluded that intellectual property serves as the basis of forming institutes of cooperation between government, business and science, which is especially important for the Resilient Regions.
