“…The same was shown in our case. Duarte et al (2017) defined 4 barriers to innovation: economic factors, knowledge factors, market factors and reasons to innovate. Among knowledge factors, the highest ranked barrier was lack of qualified personnel (Hvolkova et al, 2019).…”

The study investigates whether establishing of the shopfloor management in the company is beneficial for the company or not even in difficult conditions (food production with BRC standards of production, presence of foreigners, agency employees). A qualitative research based on detailed long-term observation the real process of planning and establishing the shopfloor management in the company was used, as well as interviews with industrial engineers, first line managers, blue-collar workers, and shopfloor management practitioners. The company was chosen for this case study on purpose. The findings say it was good to establish SFM in the company. In spite of obstacles, the utilization of machines increased by 20% and one machine (out of 12) could be sold due to redundancy. The need for human capital decreased, the number of scraps decreased, and the cooperation improved.

“…The barriers to innovation is of great interest in the field of innovation and one of the most studied by researchers, entrepreneurs and public policy makers (Duarte et al , 2017). According to D’Este et al (2012), empirical studies into obstacles to innovation predominantly focus on two aspects: first, the factors that significantly impact the perception of barriers; and second, managing the obstacles, mainly financial.…”

“…There are ample references in the literature as to the contribution of barriers to successful innovation, because obstacles may present opportunities to develop innovations and to further study management of innovative processes (Cinar et al , 2019). In contrast, some studies highlight that an aspect considered to be an obstacle to innovation by one firm could be considered a potential opportunity by another (Duarte et al , 2017).…”

“…From this perspective, identifying the obstacles to innovation is a pertinent extension to the literature (Costa et al , 2018; Duarte et al , 2017), as they imply progressive challenges for companies (D’Este et al , 2014; Hölzl and Janger, 2014; Kanama and Nishikawa, 2017), and their resultant perception influence innovative behaviour in firms (Hölzl and Janger, 2014; Ocampo Wilches et al , 2020). Therefore, from the perspective of Coad et al (2016), the barriers to innovate are the result of systemic failures endemic to a specific company.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that impede innovation in Colombian manufacturing firms, as measured by the level of technological intensity. Design/methodology/approach The authors used data from 1,850 firms to determine the barriers associated with information and internal capabilities, risks and environment. Findings The main results of this study confirm that potentially innovative firms of low technological intensity are more likely to ascribe high importance to obstacles associated with information and internal capabilities, when compared with innovative firms. The abandonment of innovative projects, family-operated enterprises and investment in R&D are all related to an increased perception of obstacles to innovation, while investments in information and communication technologies have an opposite effect. Variables as partnerships and export behaviour, have different effects depending on the level of technological intensity. Originality/value This study investigates the obstacles to innovation of a firm as determined by its characteristics and as measured against its level of technological intensity. Previous studies have investigated barriers to innovation in technologically advanced sectors (Lachman and López, 2019) and technology-based SMEs (De Moraes Silva et al. 2020) or how the technological intensity of the firm determines access to university knowledge for overcoming barriers (Kanama and Nishikawa, 2017). The only study to analyse barriers to innovation by measuring a firm’s technological intensity was conducted into Mexican manufacturing and services sector companies by Santiago et al. (2017).

“…As shown in Table I, by the end of 2014, the average PTE of domestic-funded enterprises exceeded the corresponding indicators of Hong Kong-Macau-Taiwan invested enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises, indicating the trend of catching up and surpassing. Because innovations depend on the ability of organizations to combine several factors (Duarte et al , 2017). To improve the efficiency of innovation enterprises should have dynamic capabilities, especially the ability of resource allocation.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to measure the innovative performance of a managed and owned mainland Chinese family business. The objective of the study was to assist an inheritor and/or successor of a family business and to find management problems in innovative activity. Design/methodology/approach To improve the innovative technical efficiency (TE) of the business, the study offers methods that enhance the allocation of resources to provide outcomes that improve the core competitiveness of the business and realize the sustainable development of the business. Innovation performance is a well-organized and efficient way of turning innovation input into innovation output. Human input, research and development expenditures measure innovation input. Patent output and other outputs, which include total labor productivity and asset liability ratios, measure innovation output. To complete the study’s task, the innovative performance of 46 Chinese listed family run and owned businesses were evaluated based on the data envelopment analysis and the Banker, Charnes and Cooper model. Findings The results of the study show that the overall TE of innovation in a Chinese family run and owned business is low and that the returns to scale of most such businesses is decreasing, and furthermore, that the overall innovation performance of is low. Originality/value The implications from the study further suggest that for business efficiency and increased profit a beneficiary of a Chinese family-owned business should optimize the firm’s size and resource allocation.
