“…In particular, LT and MT industries are more likely to utilize innovation created in HT industries [63]. LT and MT firms can also benefit from non-R&D innovation activities [64], such as the integration of knowledge generated from external sectors or other industries [30,65].…”

This study aims to investigate the effects of product and process innovations on manufacturing firm performance in Southeast Asian emerging markets. To this end, using a cross-national sample of 2324 manufacturing firms from the World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES) dataset of 2015, we test the effects of product and process innovations on the sales growth of manufacturing firms in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. This study finds that product innovation is positively related to sales growth while new operating technologies are negatively associated with sales growth. For high-tech firms, product innovation is positively related to sales growth. The findings imply that in Southeast Asian emerging markets, governments and manufacturing firms can enhance performance by investing in product innovation.

“…Similarly, not all product and process innovations require R&D as an input (Barge-Gil et al, 2011). Yet, despite non-R&D modes of innovation being dominant in many large industries such as services or traditional low-tech sectors (Hansen & Serin, 1997;Hirsch-Kreinsen, 2008), much of the policy and research focus remains on the production of new technology via R&D, rather than its effective absorption, integration, modification, and use (EBRD, 2014). To date, R&D support policies remain the most popular innovation policies across the OECD countries (OECD, 2006).…”

“…We find that hidden innovations are rather incremental, not radical and related to technology only to a small degree (Ettlie et al, 1984;Hansen & Serin, 1997;O'Brien, 2016). Technological innovations, such as new ticketing and booking systems, have been captured by the CIS.…”

Hidden innovations are innovations that have been overlooked, forgotten or ignored.In this context, this study explores hidden innovations in tourism-innovations not captured by frequently used quantitative instruments such as the Eurostat's community innovation survey (CIS). The study also explains why several innovations have remained hidden in the tourism industry. It identifies and analyses processes producing hidden innovations and determines the characteristics and types of these innovations. The study analyses 13 interviews in four tourism businesses-one Alpine centre and three hotels. Empirical testing indicates the inadequacy of CIS measurement in capturing these innovations. The findings reveal several hidden innovations.In the tourism context, we find two types of hidden innovations-hidden stage-wise and stage-merged innovations. These hidden innovations have two triggers. The first trigger refers to the evaluation of work processes carried out at the decentralized levels of companies. The second trigger is the work climate combining staff willingness (W) and opportunities (O) (WO-oriented work climate)-where the employees are willing to engage with innovation and are provided with an innovation opportunity. This study has important implications for extending the understanding of hidden innovations, especially in tourism, and guiding managers to facilitate, motivate and support work environments that allow employees' freedom and help them take responsibility to generate ideas and innovations.
