This paper compares the effects of management practices and innovation on productivity, using data from the fifth round …, new processes or new ways of conducting business – in other words, innovation. It is thus not surprising that governments … and policy-makers everywhere, regardless of the country's level of development, are keen to foster innovation. But there …

between innovation effort (R&D) or innovation output (the share of innovative sales) and the firm's duration of survival. We … seems to be an inverted-U relationship between R&D or innovation output and long-term survival, suggesting that too much R …&D or product innovation can cause firms to die, perhaps because of excessive risk. Survival has a cyclical behaviour, and …

There is growing evidence that firms increasingly adopt open innovation practices. In this paper we investigate the … impact of two such external knowledge acquisition strategies, 'buy' and 'cooperate', on firm's product innovation performance … while both 'buy' and 'cooperate' have a positive effect on innovation, there is little statistical evidence that using them …

We propose a model where both R&D and ICT investment feed into a system of three innovation output equations (product …, process and organizational innovation), which ultimately feeds into a productivity equation. We find that ICT investment and … usage are important drivers of innovation in both manufacturing and services. Doing more R&D has a positive effect on …

This paper introduces dynamics in the R&D to innovation and innovation to productivity relationships, which have mostly … individual effects and idiosyncratic errors correlated across equations and that differ in the way innovation enters the … Community Innovation Survey. The results provide evidence of robust unidirectional causality from innovation to productivity and …
