International audienceThis article tests the major determinants of technological (product and process) innovation persistence and provides evidence of the significant role of organizational innovation. Design/methodology/approach Data came from two waves of the Luxembourg Community Innovation Survey (CIS): CIS2006 for 2004–2006 and CIS2008 for 2006–2008. The longitudinal data set resulted in a final sample of 287 firms. A multinomial probit model estimates the likelihood that each firm belongs to one of three longitudinal innovation profiles: no, sporadic, or persistent innovators. Findings The determinants have differentiated impacts on process and technological innovation persistence. Organizational innovation influences technological innovation persistence. In the analysis of detailed organizational practices, strong evidence emerged that knowledge management exerts a crucial effect on product innovation persistence; workplace organization instead is associated with process innovation persistence
International audienceOrganizational innovation favors technological innovation, but does it also influence persistence in technological innovation? This article empirically investigates the pattern of technological innovation persistence and tests the potential impact of organizational innovation using firm-level data from three waves of French Community Innovation Surveys. The evidence indicates a positive effect of organizational innovation on persistence in technological innovation, according to various measures of organizational innovation. Moreover, this impact is more significant for complex innovators, i.e. those who innovate in both products and processes. The results highlight the complexity of managing organizational practices with regard to the technological innovation of firms. They also add to understanding of the drivers of innovation persistence through the focus on an often-forgotten dimension of innovation in a broader sense
Cet article évalue le rôle de la recherche et développement (R&D) et de l’usage des technologies de l’information et de communication ( tic ) dans l’innovation et la productivité du travail de l’entreprise. La méthode d’estimation est basée sur le modèle cdm en trois étapes. Contrairement à la plupart des études existantes, nous proposons une distinction entre les dépenses de R&D interne et externe. De plus, nous utilisons différentes spécifications des tic pour capturer leur degré de variété, plutôt qu’une mesure agrégée du capital tic . Les résultats soulignent la complexité de la gestion des investissements dans les tic et la R&D pour l’amélioration de l’innovation des entreprises. Tout en confirmant le rôle reconnu de facilitateur d’innovation de ces intrants à l’innovation, les résultats soulignent que toutes les hausses d’investissements dans les tic et la R&D ne se traduisent pas par des augmentations équivalentes de la capacité d’une entreprise à innover. Les résultats des estimations confirment également la relation positive entre l’innovation et la productivité du travail. JEL Codes: C13, C34, O31
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
