“…They are also consistent with the essential conclusions drawn by Jensen et al (2007) from the empirical evidence in Denmark, Amara et al (2008) in Canada, Chen and Guo (2010) in China, Aslesen et al (2012) in Norway, Isaksen and Karlsen (2012a), Isaksen and Nilsson (2013) in Sweden, and Apanasovich (2014a) in Belarus. More specifically, the most successful firms are not those employing "pure" innovation modes, but rather those adopting innovation strategies that blend typical elements of the STI mode with the learning by doing, using and interacting practices characteristic of the DUI innovation mode.…”

This paper seeks to identify different innovation modes and their territorial embeddedness, relating them to firms' innovative and economic performance. We also analyse the relationship between the different innovation modes and the economic impact of the crisis on firms' performance. These relationships are tested by regression and latent class models for the Portuguese population of firms, using a sample of 397 firms classified according to technological intensity, size and region. Our results show three different innovation modes: a DUI (Doing, Using and Interacting) mode, an STI (Science, Technology and Innovation) mode and a TEI (Territorial Embeddedness Innovation) mode in which territory plays a key role. These innovative modes are related in different ways to firms' economic and innovative performance and also have marked distinctions in terms of resilience to the economic crisis. These findings lead to a reflection on regional innovation policy in the European context.

“…Our hypothesis (1b) goes in line with some previous analyses on Denmark and Norway (Jensen et al, 2007;Aslesen et al, 2011), where the combined effect of STI and DUI types of collaboration is tested vis-à-vis the single effect of STI collaboration or DUI collaboration. Our conjecture is that the innovation output benefits from the combination in which the firm absorbs both scientific and experience-based knowledge inputs from both STI and DUI sorts of partners.…”

“…Such ideal approach has been analyzed in various geographical contexts, such as China (Chen et al, 2011), Scandinavian countries (mainly Denmark and Norway; see Jensen et al, 2007;Aslesen et al, 2011;Fitjar and Rodríguez-Pose, 2013;Isaksen and Karlsen, 2010), and Spain (Parrilli and Elola, 2012). While some studies support that both STI and DUI contribute positively to innovation output, other studies present more nuanced outcomes (Chen et al, 2011;Parrilli and Elola, 2012;Fitjar and Rodríguez-Pose, 2013).…”

In this study, the relationship between the use of collaborative agreements and the firm's innovation output is examined. Firms may innovate using partnerships linked to a "science and technology-based" (STI) mode of learning, as well as partnerships linked to a "learning-by-doing, by-using and by-interacting-based' (DUI) mode of learning. Within this view, universities are important STI partners that provide flows of science and technology driven knowledge leading to innovation. A fixed-effects logit estimation is applied on an extensive panel of Spanish manufacturing and service firms to analyze the separate and combined impact of collaborative agreements associated to STI and/or DUI modes of learning, with a special emphasis on the role of partnerships with universities. Even though STI and DUI partnerships are both important for product and process innovations, the results demonstrate that different types of collaboration are related to different types of innovation. While product innovation benefits more from the combination of DUI and STI partnerships, process innovation is more closely related to DUI partnerships. Apart from that, collaborations with universities, in combination with DUI partners, leads to a higher likelihood of product innovation. In contrast, process innovations are less dependent on collaborations with universities than on collaborations with other STI partners.

“…However, their country-based analyses on the modes of innovation (derived from the literature on innovation systems, i.e. Lundvall, 1992;Cooke et al, 2004) have been mainly tested in market economies (Jensen, et al, 2007;Amara et al, 2008;Aslesen et al, 2012;Parrilli & Elola, 2012;Isaksen and Nilsson, 2013;Fitjar and Rodriguez-Pose, 2013;Malaver and Vargas, 2013;Nunes &Lopes, 2015;Parrilli & Alcalde, 2016). These studies have shown that firms that combine STI and DUI modes of learning are more likely to innovate than those relying on the STI and DUI mode taken separately.…”

AbstrctEchoing previous contributions on 'STI and DUI innovation modes' (Science and technology-based Innovation, and Innovation based on learning-by-Doing, by-Using and by-Interacting), this study discusses their role in SME ability to develop novel products. In particular, the RTH model (based on Research, Technology and Human Resource Management) is proposed so as to describe the most effective approach taken by innovative SMEs. In this way, some structural limitations of those modes is overcome, mainly the ambiguous nature of technology that swings between the two primordial innovation modes (STI and DUI).On these bases, the STI and DUI modes are changed for a more empirical identification of business innovation modes centered on differentiating between three separate drivers of innovation: Research (R), non-R&D Technology (T), and Human Resource management (HRM). These are empirically rearranged in specific innovation profiles, which can be re-grouped into empirically-based innovation modes. This novelty can illustrate the more practical approaches to innovation taken by firms, particularly in contexts in which the development and exploitation of science and technology drivers diverge (e.g. firms focused on adopting new technologies without investing in R&D activities and infrastructure: the case of transition economies).The study focuses on analyzing how different drivers of innovation can be effectively aggregated within a firm to support its ability to produce innovation. With this objective in mind, we propose a new research instrument -RTH model -and test in on a sample of SMEs in the ICT sphere that operates in a technologyfollower country in transition, Belarus. The results of the econometric analyses show insightful outcomes, i.e. the novelty of product innovation is more sensitive to the Technology and Human Resource Management (HRM) drivers than to the Research driver.
