Abstract

The aim of this study is to describe the public business services for SMEs in sparsely populated areas. This study’s research problem can be condensed into the following research questions: 1) How are the public business services organised in Oulu South? 2) From the service provider’s perspective, what are the best practices in the three examined case regions? The research questions are answered by analysing and comparing the supply of public business services of the three subregions in Oulu South. As a result of this multiple case study, the services for SMEs and best practises within a rural context are clarified.
