“…Second, skill intensity seems to be specifically important in services innovation, as the number of highly skilled employees is correlated with both higher process and product innovation, something not always observed in manufacturing [Pires et al. (), Eickelpasch and Vogel ()]. Third, the intangible nature of most services makes it difficult to distinguish between process and product innovation and to identify clear‐cut innovation.…”

“…Most existing empirical analyses are solely within the context of the service sector and examine the probability of exporting of firms, as well as the factors that are significantly correlated with export status. They mostly find that research/innovation intensity, human capital, average director pay, exchange rate volatility, product diversification increase the probability of becoming an exporter and the export intensity (Ebling and Janz, ; Gourlay et al., ; Chiru, ; Love and Mansury, 2007a; Eickelpasch and Vogel, ). As for the importance of firm size, as would be expected on the basis of the discussion above, the evidence is less clear.…”

“…Love and Mansury (2007a) find a hump‐shaped effect; Gourlay et al. (), a positive linear relationship between size and the probability of exporting; Eickelpasch and Vogel (), a positive relationship (but negative square coefficient); and Ebling and Janz (), no effect.…”

Trade and Innovation in Services: Evidence from a Developing Economy

Studies on innovation and international trade have traditionally focused on manufacturing because neither was seen as important for services. Moreover, the few existing studies on services focus only on industrial countries, even though in many developing countries services are already the largest sector in the economy and an important determinant of overall productivity growth. Using a recent firm‐level innovation survey for Chile to compare the manufacturing and ‘tradable’ services sector, this paper reveals some novel patterns. First, even though services firms have on average a much lower propensity to export than manufacturing firms, services exports are less dominated by large firms and tend to be more skill intensive than manufacturing exports. Second, services firms appear to be as innovative as – and in some cases more innovative than – manufacturing firms, in terms of both inputs and outputs of ‘technological’ innovative activity, even though services innovations more often take a ‘non‐technological’ form. Third, services exporters (like manufacturing exporters) tend to be significantly more innovative than non‐exporters, with a wider gap for innovations close to the global technological frontier. These findings suggest that the growing faith in services as a source of both trade and innovative dynamism may not be misplaced.

This study develops a taxonomy of international service firms from an emerging market, Brazil, and assesses whether there are significant differences in international performance between the groups. After an extensive literature review, a survey was carried out with a sample of international service firms located in an emerging economy, Brazil.Using as a departure point two theoretical perspectives, the internationalization process theory and industrial organization theory, in addition to service dimensions extracted from the empirical service management literature, the study identifies four groups-large traditionals, generalist neophytes, solitary traditionals, and daring differentiators-based on firm characteristics, international services delivered, internationalization process characteristics, and international strategies adopted. The findings suggest that there are significant differences in performance between the groups. K E Y W O R D Sinternationalization of services, service firms, taxonomy

Purpose This study aims to analyse the impact of company performance, company size, ownership structure, board characteristics and other company characteristics on the disclosure of managerial remuneration in 134 listed companies in India from the year 2003 to 2012. Design/methodology/approach A disclosure and compliance index is developed on the basis of 14 statements prepared regarding the disclosure of managerial remuneration in corporate governance reports of companies. The Papke and Wooldridge (2008) approach is adopted to estimate fractional response models, and fractional probit model is estimated using the generalised estimating equation approach, with an independent working correlation matrix to determine the effect of various company attributes on managerial remuneration disclosure. Findings The study shows that company size and the presence of remuneration committee are significantly related with the disclosure and compliance index of managerial remuneration. Remuneration disclosure is found to be time-dependent as time dummies for all years are found to be significant. Research limitations/implications This study highlights the importance of the formation of remuneration committees on corporate boards. The findings of the present study can be used as inputs for promoting better compliance and comprehensive executive remuneration disclosure. Originality/value Nothing concrete in the field of managerial remuneration disclosure (to the best of researcher’s knowledge) has yet been done in an emerging economy such as India. This study aims to address this gap by deriving a disclosure and compliance index for managerial remuneration disclosure and examining the impact of various corporate attributes on it.
