“…Rosenbusch et al (2011) show in their study that rise in IP can increase the performance due to the role of innovators on bringing a competitive advantage in the circumstances where information and experience are major limits to the company. This finding is also similar to the results of Azar and Ciabuschi (2017), Oktavio et al (2019) and Cieślik and Michałek (2017) which show that the IP can predict EP positively. The results explain that the marketing-orientated export activities may predict EP positively.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore empirically how the two kinds of strategic orientations including export market orientation (EMO) and technology orientation (TO) predict innovation performance (IP) and export performance (EP), by investigating the mediation effect of IP and the moderation effect of external network (EN). Design/methodology/approach The statistical population of this research is the food and agricultural products exporting firms which participated in the 26th International Agrofood Exhibition in Tehran, Iran. The sample of 296 managers filled out questionnaires using systematic random sampling methods. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Findings Results demonstrate that the increase of EMO and IP is related to a rise in EP. Furthermore, the research finds that IP is a partial mediator in the link between EMO and EP. Finally, the moderation impact of the external networks in an association between TO and IP is supported by the data. Originality/value This study is one of the limited number of studies to consider the mediation impact of innovation performance in the relationship between EMO and EP, and it is actually the first study, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, to investigate the moderating impact of EN in the relationship between TO and IP in the context of one developing country.

“…However, in his model productivity differences among firms are exogenously given and each firm has to pay fixed costs of entry into domestic and foreign markets. Following recent studies by Cieślik and Michałek (2017;2018), in our article we refer to the modified Melitz (2003) model in which both productivity as well as the costs of export market entry can be endogenised as related to various types of innovations.…”

“…The majority of the existing studies rely on R&D expenditures as a measure of innovation (Hirsch & Bijaoui, 1985;Kumar & Siddharthan, 1994;Braunerhjelm, 1996;Basile, 2001;Cieślik, Michałek, & Michałek, 2012;2014a, b, c;. There is a limited number of studies that employ survey data with explicit information on actual innovation outcomes (Wagner, 1996;Wakelin, 1998;Bernard & Jensen, 1999;Roper & Love, 2002;Lachenmaier & Wößmann, 2006;Cassiman, Golovko, & Martínez-Ros, 2010;Van Beveren & Vandenbussche 2010;Becker & Egger 2013, Cieślik et al, 2016, Brodzicki, 2017, Cieślik & Michałek, 20172018).…”

A B S T R A C T Objective:The goal of this article is to study the relationship between innovations and exporting of Chinese firms and identify which type of innovation contributes most to the probability of exporting. Research Design & Methods:We refer to the recent strand in the new trade theory literature that stresses the importance of firm productivity in entering export markets. We distinguish between product, process and managerial innovations that can increase productivity. The empirical investigation is based on the probit model and the firm-level data set covering two years: 2003 and 2012. Findings: Our empirical results show that the probability of exporting is positively related to product and process innovations, firm size, foreign capital participation and foreign technology. Moreover, we find that in 2003 process innovations were more important for export performance than product innovations, while in 2012 it was the opposite. Implications & Recommendations:Firms should coordinate their strategic assets and resources for innovation in order to enhance their overall level of competitiveness. Governments should work on establishing stronger institutional environment necessary to provide firms with protection of intellectual property rights, an easier access to financing of innovation, a lower tax burden upon innovative firms, the higher quality of human resources to firms and more supportive policy packages. Contribution & Value Added:In contrast to previous that used only the R&D spending as the measure of innovation in our study we also use innovation outcomes. In particular, we determine which innovation type is of greatest importance, having controlled for the set of other firm characteristics. Article type:research article

This paper aims to analyze the impact of the types of innovations in increasing the sales of Kosovo's enterprises. The findings of this paper confirm the hypotheses that organizational innovations, product/process innovations and marketing innovations have a positive impact on increasing the level of sales. This empirical research was conducted with enterprises in Kosovo, so the main limitation of this research is the non-inclusion of enterprises of Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, etc. The involvement of enterprises from these countries would provide a broader picture of the research issues for transition countries. This empirical research is of particular importance because it studies the impact of types of innovation on increasing the sales level of enterprises in transition countries. Kosovo suffer from weak enterprises sector and underdeveloped entrepreneurship sector. Without the development of an innovative system of the private sector and the entrepreneurial sector, Kosovo cannot overcome the transition process. Therefore, this paper could be a reference point for the government policies of Kosovo, which should support all enterprises in the development of all types of innovations.
