“…Technology acquisition: According to different resources utilised for innovation, technological innovation (Cluster #6 in WoS) comprises of independent innovation (utilising solely the internal resources of the organisation) and open innovation (employing both internal and external resources of the organisation) [ 105 ]. Independent innovation encompasses internal behaviour [ 106 ] like R&D investment and management (Cluster #3 in Scopus), knowledge management (Cluster #6 in Scopus), and patent analytics (Cluster #2 in Scopus). Knowledge management [ 107 ] (Cluster 6 in Scopus) facilitates the effective utilisation of information and expertise to support R&D activities (Cluster 3 in Scopus).…”

“…This configuration fully demonstrates that independent innovation can effectively improve innovation performance without relying on external technology. For the enterprise itself, independent innovation is of great significance for mastering core technologies and is the main source of improving innovation performance in manufacturing industry [66]. Therefore, this configuration is regarded as the "independent innovation leading type".…”

Innovation is the first driving force to lead development, how to improve manufacturing innovation performance has become a hot topic. Based on 47 listed companies in the computer, communication and other electronic equipment manufacturing industry in the A-share market, this paper adopted the Fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to explore the influencing factors of technology, organization and environment on the innovation performance of manufacturing industry and the improvement path. The findings are as follows: (1) A single condition is not a necessary condition for high innovation performance in manufacturing industry, but government support plays a key role in improving innovation performance in manufacturing industry. (2) There are two improvement paths for high innovation performance in manufacturing industry, which are specifically explained as “technology-environment dual improvement path” and “technology-organization-environment collaborative improvement path”. (3) The improvement of innovation performance in the manufacturing industry is the result of multiple factors, showing the characteristics of “all paths lead to the same destination”. Different manufacturing enterprises have different paths to improve innovation performance based on their actual conditions. Based on these findings, this study may provide some implications for the effective improvement of manufacturing innovation performance.

Research background: The innovation process is a key factor when creating and maintaining competitiveness, so the SME sector has to address a special attention to it. Examining the impact of corporate co-operation on innovation activity has to be mentioned as a crucial goal. Purpose of the article: The main goal of the research is to assess the innovative activity of the SMEs operating in ICT sector, and to map the distribution between the innovative and non-innovative businesses. The article's purpose was to outline the most recent developments in Slovakia's ICT industry with regard to SME innovation. The empirical study concentrated on the types of innovation, variables that encourage and discourage innovation, and the innovation activity of SMEs in the ICT sector. Methods: In accordance with the main goal of the research, descriptive statistical methods, i.e. unweighted and weighted arithmetic mean were used to analyze the research hypothesis. A questionnaire research study was carried out between September 2021 and February 2022 in Slovak ICT SMEs. Findings & Value added: Significant differences can be determined between the innovative and non-innovative ICT companies in terms of innovation. The majority of SMEs implemented both technological and non-technological innovations. A small number of SMEs failed to implement either type. A significant portion focused on technological innovations, with the majority successfully implementing them, and over half of them introduced non-technological innovations between 2018 and 2020. Over 75% of the companies felt they were more innovative than their competitors. More than 67% of non-innovative SMEs saw themselves as less innovative than their competitors. 92% of innovative SMES implemented both technological and non-technological innovations. 51% implemented technological innovations. 56.41% innovative SMEs implemented 3 to 5 types of innovation activities, while 38.46% implemented 6 to 7 types. Only 5.13% implemented all 9 types of innovation activities considered. 38% of innovative SMEs spent the most on research and development, 33% allocated highest expenditure to machinery and equipment. In case of supporting SMEs in innovation activities, three market players received above-average ratings: customers and consumers, suppliers of raw materials and piece parts and the group of companies.
