“…Product innovation may be a source of sustainable competitive advantage and provide a better position in the market through the launching of better quality and lower cost products (Ateljević & Trivić, 2016), which allow the firm to fill gaps in demand (Galindo & Méndez, 2014) and increase its market-share (Leskovar-Spacapan & Bastic, 2007). Process innovation, in its turn may promote gains in productivity (Terjesen & Patel, 2017) and enables cost reduction by implementing improvements in the production process (Moutinho, Au-Yong-Oliveira, Coelho, & Manso, 2015).…”

This research investigated the complementarity of internal and external R&D for innovation development and the effect of innovation on the financial performance of European manufacturing firms. Using multigroup structural equation modeling, this study partially supported that internal and external R&D are complementary in firms from high-technology industries, whereas they are not in firms from low-technology industries. For the two groups of firms, both internal and external R&D separately had a positive effect on innovation performance. These results suggested that if low-tech firms, which had lower absorptive capacity than high-tech firms, want to improve their innovation performance in the long term, they should start prioritizing internal R&D to improve their absorptive capacity while achieving a short-term satisfactory innovation outcome. As absorptive capacity rises, more complex strategies balancing internal and external R&D should be adopted. Contrary to expectations, the empirical analysis indicated that innovation performance did not influence short-term financial performance for the whole sample. However, in countries more affected by the 2008 crisis (for instance, Baltic countries, Portugal and Spain), this effect was detected, indicating that innovation helped firms to recover faster.

A number of studies have examined the relationship between market orientation, organizational learning and marketing capabilities and innovation and these found a positive relationship (Leskovar-Spacapan and Bastic, 2007;Akgun et al, 2007;Poon and MacPherson, 2005). The following includes a discussion on each of these factors.…”

“…The vast majority of innovation studies have been conducted in developed countries. Only a few studies utilize data from transition countries (Kramer, 2009;Koschatzky, Bross, & Stanovnik, 2001;Leskovar-Spacapan & Bastic, 2007). This raises important question about the transferability and relevance of innovation studies in Western Europe to an explanation of the innovation activities in transition economies.…”

The paper presents the results of research on innovation activities of manufacturing firms in Serbia. In order to answer the question how innovation takes place in one transition country, key influencing factors were identify (i.e., firm's size, age, ownership, industry sector, personnel qualifications and experience). Based on the analysis of a sample comprising 73 firms, the study tried to highlight certain innovation barriers, which may have a negative impact on the total efficiency of economic performance, and growth and development of manufacturing firms in Serbia. Comparing overall innovation activities of Serbian firms to the other transition countries, it can be concluded that majority of the firms had innovation performances below the level EU-27. This study draws out the potential contributions to existing literature of managing innovation in Serbia.
