“…We may find many studies, which suggest a positive correlation between innovation measures and employment (Hall, 1987;Van Reenen, 1997;Greenhalgh et al, 2001;Yasuda, 2005;Yang and Huang, 2005;Stare and Damijan, 2015) and other works with a less clear result (Brouwer et al, 1993;Klette and Førre, 1998;Piva and Vivarelli, 2005 There are authors that use also patent data to detect innovation activities. Indeed, Coad and Rao (2011) combine patent and R&D data to explore the relationship between innovation and employment growth in the United States.…”

In this paper we investigate the role of financial shocks, such as the economic crisis since 2006, in the reallocation process of employment flows in high-tech and low-tech industries. The contributions of the paper to the literature are threefold. First, a general framework of employment growth is estimated by using a dataset made of 879 large international firms observed for the period 2002-2010 and localized in three economic areas: USA, Japan and Europe. Second, we develop a database merging the firms' data with EPO patents data. In particular, the innovation variable is proxied by the R&D capital stock. Third contribution to the literature is to analyse the extent to which the economic crisis may affect the sensitivity of employment with respect to own innovation but also with respect to outside innovation, the R&D spillovers, in high-tech and low-tech industries. The empirical results suggest some important and significant results. This comparative finding could be the source of relevant industrial policy implications.

“…Such studies have tended also to focus on more traditional drivers of innovation at firm level, however, such as R&D, ignoring the insights of studies of open innovation (Laursen and Salter 2006). More recent studies have however looked beyond industrial structure itself to also include related scientific or educational institutions along with science parks or enterprise zones (Yang and Huang 2005). This broader perspective is most evident in the literature on sectoral innovation systems which integrates Schumpeterian perspectives on firm size with more institutional and historical perspectives on institutional development and inter-relationships (Daim 2005;Malerba 2004).…”

In this conceptual paper, we develop a framework which identifies those elements of firms' knowledge context which are important for innovation, and the mechanisms through which that knowledge impacts on firms' innovation performance. We make four main contributions to the existing literature. First, our characterisation of knowledge context provides the basis for a more specific identification of which elements of firms' knowledge environment are important for innovation, discriminating between spatial, sectoral and network influences. Second, we reflect the role of innovation ambition in shaping firms' knowledge search strategies. Third, we differentiate between firms' interactive and non-interactive knowledge search activities and recognise that these may be complemented by unanticipated and serendipitous knowledge spillovers. Finally, we employ the notion of encoding capacity to reflect firms' internal ability to assimilate and apply external knowledge, and clarify its distinctiveness from the more general concept of absorptive capacity. Our framework provides an integrating mechanism for existing empirical studies, and suggests a number of new research directions related to the determinants of innovation performance and the heterogeneity of innovation outcomes.

“…Through the adoption of R&D or innovation capacity based indicators (innovations in products, processes, or patent numbers), various research conclude in favour of the positive impact of innovation on firm performance levels (Nolan et al, 1980;Hall, 1987;Amirkhalkhali & Mukhopadhyay, 1993;Singh, 1994;Lefebvre et al, 1998;Del Monte & Papagni, 2003;Nurmi, 2004;Yang & Huang, 2005;Coad & Rao, 2008;Curado, et al, 2011;Reed, et al, 2012). Some researchers find that only the innovation capacity variables impact on the firm performance of Indian firms and not those related to R&D and concluding that indices of R&D expenditure do not contribute towards evaluating firm growth and performance (Geroski, 1995;Geroski et al, 1997;Coad & Rao, 2008;Hölzl, 2009;Cavalcante et al, 2011).…”

Drivers to firm innovation and their effects on performance: an international comparison

This research aims to analyse the drivers to company innovation and their effects on the financial performance. This study is based upon a sample of companies, located in two neighbouring countries (Portugal and Spain). Linear regression was the methodology deployed to analyse the importance of innovation types (differences between Portugal and Spain). To analyse the extent to which the innovation capacity variables influence financial performance (turnover), we made recourse to Probit Regression models. Our results show significant differences in terms of both the drivers and inhibitors to innovation in these two countries. The introduction of products into new markets only proved significant at Spanish companies whilst innovations in both products and processes are significant in both sets of Iberian companies.
