Examining the Adoption of Product and Process Innovations in the Canadian Food Processing Industry

Abstract: "In this paper we study the factors associated with innovation in the food processing industry using a survey of Western Canadian food processors. Our primary motivation is to gain a better understanding of the mechanics of innovation related to the adoption of product and process innovation. In particular, we consider the jointness of" ex post "realizations of product and process innovations, and assess whether there are underlying differences that result from innovations developed inhouse versus those develo… Show more

“…However, in their investigation of creative industries and occupations, Lee and Rodríguez‐Pose () find no evidence that urban firms in creative industries introduce any more product or process innovations than rural firms, supporting the findings of others that have questioned the link between urban settings and innovation (Turok ; Brewin et al. ; Fitjar and Rodríguez‐Pose ).…”

“…While the AcsArmington model guides our empirical specification, we are especially interested in testing whether the predictions of the model hold in the context of our high-growth firms. Brewin, Monchuk, and Partridge (2009) find that rural food processors tend to focus on process innovation rather than on radical product innovation. The question remains whether agglomeration and knowledge spillovers matter for all industries, and whether high growth can occur even in places with limited agglomeration potential such as rural America.…”

“…En definitiva, la industria agroalimentaria precisa seguir avanzando en competitividad y para ello necesita invertir en la obtención de innovaciones que le permitan ser más competitiva tanto dentro como fuera del mercado español. Para conseguir e ste objetivo las empresas agroalimentarias españolas debido a la estructura atomizada del sector necesitan la colaboración con otras empresas, del (Brewin et al, 2009y Barge -Gill, 2010. Entre los outputs de innovación se pueden obtener innovaciones en productos, en procesos , mejoras en la gestión, proteger las innovaciones con patentes, etc.…”

“…Europa ( Otra alternativa para medir la innovación es el empleo del número de patentes (Rama, 1996;Gopinath y Vasavada, 1999;Alfranca et al, 2004) que para algunos autores e s una opción demasiado restrictiva, sobre todo en la industria alimentaria donde la velocidad con la que aparecen nuevos productos es elevada (Brewin et al 2009). Esta alternativa es más objetiva y recoge la parte de la innovación que más contribuye a la competitividad y a la generación de valor añadido y rentabilidad en las empresas.…”
