“…Moreover, those entrepreneurs with experience in the function of R&D/engineering and marketing/sales often support more innovation strategies leading to organizational growth with new products and markets (Gao and Hafsi 2015). Similar results are found in another study by Krasniqi et al (2008) who found that experience matters for firm growth.…”

“…Yang et al (2014) discuss that service-oriented SMEs can provide differentiated service products through internal R&D to expand market share, or they can develop a low-cost competitive advantage by providing continuous innovation. The firms in the manufacturing sector are more likely to be engaged in process innovation than in product innovation, as manufacturing firms tend to use more technologically advanced production processes when compared to other sectors, such as trade and services (Krasniqi and Kutllovci 2008). Still, Thornhill (2006) emphasizes innovation is more common for those firms where there is an increased industry dynamism, irrespective of which type of industry they are operating.…”

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of different forms of innovation on firm growth, in terms of sales. A total of 278 samples were collected from SMEs in the manufacturing, service and trade industries throughout Kosovo. The data were analysed using a logistic regression analysis. The findings confirm the hypotheses that marketing innovation is positively associated with firm growth, while new to the firm products is negatively associated with firm growth. Other innovation attributes have resulted with non-significance value. The findings in this study can be useful for theoretical discussion, as well as for policy formulation related to introduction of innovation and SMEs development considering that innovation is critical factor in today’s market and competition. Further studies should look into how SMEs could investigate over time from the initial stage to the full development of innovation.

“…For example, Dean et al (2000) and Lado et al (2004) report a significant and positive relationship between the firm's age and its export performance. Similarly, to the firm size effect, as firms get older and more experienced, they might accumulate more knowledge and enter exporting markets in other ways, such as through FDIs [Barba Navaretti and Venables, (2004), p.139; Krasniqi and Kutllovci, 2008). Lee and Huang (2002) argue that economic growth as a demand side factor promotes exports.…”

This paper investigates the impact of product and process innovation on firms' export performance in transition economies (TEs) which embarked on a systemic change from a planned to a market economy in the early 1990s. The research builds on the technology gap theory and the analysis of the self-selection of firms into the export market. Unlike other studies that have focused on the export behaviour of firms in developed economies where business environment is generally stable and favourable, the paper controls for the relevance of business environment and the stage of transition on export performance of firms. The paper uses the firm-level Business Environment and Performance Survey data undertaken by the European Bank for Reconstruction F. Reçica et al.

“…These strategies have a significant impact on product innovation, because they support the high-quality products, produced in accordance with the environmental standards. Krasniqi and Kutllovci (2008) find evidence that, in manufacturing SMEs, flexibility, presence of foreign owners or exporting status have a significant impact on innovation. Manufacturing SMEs need more improvements in their technologies to stay competitive, as they are more likely to be affected by exogenous technological changes.…”

The aim of the paper is to provide a better understanding of factors influencing product innovations that are important to SMEs’ exporting activities. A probit model is used to analyse the innovation pattern in 100 Kosovo manufacturing and exporting SMEs. They export to the EU and regional countries’ markets. Our data shows that there is a link between the type of product innovation and the increase in exports. Incremental innovation shows a strong positive relationship with export growth of these SMEs , a result should prove helpful to both researchers of SME product innovation and managers of exporting SMEs. This study addresses the current gap that is present in the Western Balkan literature by evaluating the impact of product innovation on SMEs export performance.
