“…We follow this literature and use the measure proposed for Brazil by Araújo et al (2009) and Taveira et al (2019) based on the firm's share of technical-scientific employees (PoTec) as a proxy for R&D investments (see Table 2 for definition). Araújo et al (2009), using RAIS and PINTEC databases, show that PoTec has a high correlation -between 0.8 to 0.9 -to intramural and extramural R&D expenditure.…”

“…The first contribution evidences the effects of innovation outcomes (technological and nontechnological) on productivity and market shares in Peruvian manufacturing firms in a complementary way. On the one hand, process and organizational innovations are related to productivity, that is, innovative companies carry out these strategies to obtain more efficiency in their business processes, particularly companies with R&D. Nevertheless, as in other studies (Taveira et al, 2019), it is possible to observe that the acquisition of machinery does not have positive associations with productivity. Therefore, investing in knowledge and human capital could benefit Peruvian companies, especially in taking advantage of new technologies and incorporating them their production processes.…”

Purpose This paper aims to study whether Peruvian manufacturing firms that implement innovation have positive performance and whether R&D activities moderate these relationships. Design/methodology/approach Using a data set of Peruvian manufacturing firms from the 2018 National Survey of Innovation, a LOGIT model analysis was applied to 774 companies. In addition, the authors fitted different models into subsamples to explore the moderating effects of R&D on manufacturing firms. Finally, the regression models were computed using R software. Findings The results indicate that product, service and marketing innovation are associated positively with an increase in market share, while process and organizational innovations are associated positively with productivity. Moreover, companies with R&D are more productivity-oriented than companies without R&D. Research limitations/implications This study contributes to the literature on innovation management by supporting the assumption that innovation results in increased productivity and expands market demand. In addition, findings highlight that R&D is essential for boosting firms’ productivity. Practical implications Managers should consider an appropriate combination of the innovation portfolio and R&D investments to make progress and increase performance in the company. In addition, policymakers should consider that investments to promote the development of R&D activities in manufacturing companies will likely lead to médium- or long-term returns. Social implications The correct use of indicators to measure these relationships could help the policymaker to design and measure policy instruments more efficiently. Originality/value These results provide a deeper understanding of how the effects of innovations implemented by manufacturing firms, especially service and process innovation, improve their performance.

“…The inquiry into the impact of business innovation on growth and productivity at a micro-and macro-level is not a novel area of research. A plethora of literature is available on this topic that investigates it from different perspectives [1,4]. The key problem relates to how to evaluate and estimate the impacts of technical changes on productivity.…”

An Analytical Framework for Innovation Determinants and Their Impact on Business Performance

et al. 2022

Innovation plays a pivotal role in the progress and goodwill of an organization, and its ability to thrive. Consequently, the impact analysis of innovation on the performance of an organization holds great importance. This paper presents a two-stage analytical framework to examine the impact of business innovation on a firm’s performance, especially firms from the manufacturing sector. The prime objective is to identify the factors that have an impact on firm-level innovation, and to examine the impact of firm-level innovation on business performance. The framework and its analysis are based on the latest World Bank enterprise survey, with a sample size of 696 manufacturing firms. The first stage of the proposed framework establishes the analytical results through Bivariate Probit, which indicates that research and development (R&D) has a significantly positive impact on the product, process, marketing, and organizational innovations. It thus highlights the important role of the allocation of lump-sum amounts for R&D activities. The statistical analysis shows that innovation does not depend on the size of the firms. Moreover, the older firms are found to be wiser at conducting R&D than newer firms that are reluctant to take risks. The second stage of the proposed framework separately analyzes the impacts of the product and organizational innovation, and the process and marketing innovation on the firm performance, and finds them to be statistically significant and insignificant, respectively.
