“…However, R&D is an input to innovation process that does not essentially lead to innovations [17,18]. Therefore, R&D expenditures are assumed as an over-estimated measure of innovativeness because they consider unsuccessful R&D efforts [10].…”

Abstract:The business environment is currently characterized by intensified competition at both the national and firm levels. Many studies have shown that innovation positively affect firms in enhancing their competitiveness. Innovation is a dynamic process that requires a continuous, evolving, and mastered management. Evaluating the sustainability of overall innovation capability of a business is a major means of determining how well this firm effectively and efficiently manages its innovation process. A psychometrically valid scale of evaluating the sustainability of overall innovation capability of a firm is still insufficient in the current innovation literature. Thus, this study developed a reliable and valid scale of measuring the sustainability of overall innovation capability construct. The unidimensionality, reliability, and several validity components of the developed scale were tested using the data collected from 175 small and medium-sized enterprises in Iran. A series of systematic statistical analyses were performed. Results of the reliability measures, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and several components of validity tests strongly supported an eight-dimensional (8D) scale of measuring the sustainability of overall innovation capability construct. The dimensions of the scale were strategic management, supportive culture and OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 538 structure, resource allocation, communication and networking, knowledge and technology management, idea management, project development, and commercialization capabilities.

“…Esta aproximación elegida por la OCDE en el Manual de Oslo (OCDE, 2007) como la base para el establecimiento de directrices en la recogida de datos sobre las innovaciones muestra sin embargo, además de los inconvenientes de la obtención de información por medio de encuestas, una desventaja asociada a la subjetividad en las respuestas, que otros estudios sin embargo han considerado como superable ya que según alguno de estos estudios "…los métodos basados en la obtención de información directa de los directivos a través de sistemas de autoevaluación son eficaces en la identificación de la actividad innovadora." (Flor and Oltra, 2004).…”

“…This approach although has been chosen by the OECD (OCDE, 2007) as the basis for establishing guidelines on collecting data on innovations; shows some lacks not only due to the fact that information is gathered through surveys, but also by the fact that those responses have associated some subjectivity. Nevertheless, (Flor and Oltra, 2004) considered that those shortages may be overcome arguing that "methods based on obtaining information directly from management through self-assessment systems are effective in identifying innovative activity".…”

“…The most commonly used indicators for innovation are related to output of innovation which are for instance, patent citations, number of innovations, (Flor and Oltra, 2004), new product announcements (Hagedoorn and Cloodt, 2003), sales shares of new products (Hollestein, 1996).…”
