Повний текст джерелаPese al gran número de investigaciones sobre las colaboraciones y la innovación, solo unos pocos estudios examinan la influencia de la colaboración individual entre los miembros de una misma organización y su repercusión en la innovación de la empresa. Ello resulta sorprendente, puesto que bastantes estudios destacan el importante rol que las personas pueden desempeñar en los procesos de aprendizaje y adquisición de conocimientos (p. ej., la movilidad de los ingenieros y los científicos, los investigadores estrella y los "boundary spanners"). En consecuencia, esta tesis investiga el impacto de las colaboraciones interorganizativas de los científicos -recogidas por la coautoría de sus papers de investigación- en las innovaciones patentadas de las empresas. Los resultados indican que, incluso después de controlar algunos factores que ya han sido identificados por su incidencia en los resultados innovadores de la empresa -como son las alianzas estratégicas de la empresa, los científicos estrella y los que no lo son, la capacidad científica individual y la inversión en I+D-, el nivel en que los científicos de una empresa colaboran externamente en artículos científicos influye positivamente en su desempeño innovador. Además, las colaboraciones individuales entre los investigadores de empresa y los investigadores universitarios son especialmente útiles, y los trasvases regionales mejoran el impacto de las colaboraciones individuales. Avalando las predicciones derivadas de la economía evolutiva y las teorías conductuales, las empresas con mayor número de colaboraciones individuales externas tienen mayores probabilidades de crecer más próximas a la frontera de la innovación emergente. En cambio, las empresas con mayor número de alianzas estratégicas y colaboraciones individuales internas probablemente crecerán más alejadas de la frontera de la innovación y la especialización tecnológica reduce la alineación de las empresas con la frontera innovadora. Así pues, esta tesis aísla y destaca el rol de la colaboración individual en el proceso de innovación de la empresa.
Despite the vast amount of research on collaborative arrangements and innovation, only a few studies examine influence of individual collaboration of members within an organization and their influence on firm innovation. This is surprising since several studies illustrate the important role individuals can play in knowledge acquisition and learning (e.g. mobility of engineers and scientist, star researchers and boundary spanners). Therefore, this dissertation investigates the impact of inter-organizational collaborations of scientists - as captured by co-authorship of research papers - on the patented innovative of firms. The results indicate that even after controlling for factors that have been previously suggested to impact the innovative output of a firm - including the firm's strategic alliances, star and non-star scientists, individual-level scientific ability, and R&D investment - the extent to which a firm's scientists collaborate externally on scientific articles positively influences the firm's innovative performance. Furthermore, individual collaborations between firm researchers and university researchers are particularly useful and regional spillovers enhance the impact of individual collaborations. Supporting the predictions derived from evolutionary economics and behavioral theories, firms with greater numbers of external individual collaborations are likely to grow increasingly aligned to the frontier of emerging innovation. Firms with greater numbers of strategic alliances and internal individual collaborations are likely to grow more distant from the innovation frontier and technological specialization decreases the alignment of firms to the innovative frontier. Thus this dissertation isolates and highlights the role of individual level collaboration in the firm innovation process.

Повний текст джерелаLa innovación es una actividad esencial para la competitividad de las empresas. Asimismo, la innovación ha contribuido al incremento de los niveles de vida de millones de personas. Por otra parte, es ampliamente reconocido que la innovación co-produce efectos no deseados sobre los sistemas socioeconómicos y/o ecológicos. Los actuales mecanismos de control y autorización, e.g. las regulaciones, han demostrado ser ineficaces en la prevención de la difusión de innovaciones que dan lugar a importantes problemas sociales, económicos y/o ambientales. Esto, junto con la creciente capacidad de la la tecnología para generar nuevos riesgos, han contribuido al debate sobre la necesidad de introducir más responsabilidad en los procesos de innovación para fomentar la generación de innovaciones éticamente aceptable, socialmente deseable y sostenible. Pero, ¿cómo pueden las empresas generar innovación de una manera más responsable? La finalidad de esta tesis es contribuir al desarrollo del enfoque de Innovación responsable (IR). Su objetivo es proponer y validar un marco de trabajo para ayudar a las empresas a innovar de manera más responsable. Para lograr este objetivo, la tesis está estructurada en dos partes. En la primera, se lleva a cabo una extensa revisión bibliográfica sobre los modelos y enfoques de innovación con el objetivo de desarrollar un marco teórico que explique cómo innovar responsablemente. La revisión revela las deficiencias de los modelos lineales e interactivos, los de sistemas de innovación, el de innovación abierta y el enfoque de innovación sostenible, para ayudar a las empresas a innovar responsablemente. Esto lleva a explorar un nuevo enfoque: la IR. La revisión de la literatura muestra que se han propuesto tres marcos para IR hasta la fecha. El análisis de éstos lleva a la adopción de uno como el más adecuado para abordar el objetivo de esta investigación. El marco teórico sugiere que la IR depende de garantizar la atención de ciertos valores para sostenibilidad a través del proceso de innovación. Para lograr esto, el marco propone cinco dimensiones: Anticipación, Participación, Deliberación, Reflexividad y Capacidad de respuesta. Debido a que la teoría está aún en desarrollo, el marco adoptado muestra defciencias que requieren más investigación: 1) el marco no sugiere métodos para el despliegue de las dimensiones a nivel de empresa; y 2) proporciona pocas evidencias empíricas que apoyen su validez. Para superar la primera deficiencia, las cinco dimensiones se han desarrollaron y un conjunto de métodos se ha propuesto para su despliegue. La segunda etapa de esta investigación se centra en la parte de investigación empírica. Su objetivo es comprobar la validez del marco de trabajo. Para ello, se adopta una estrategia de investigación basada en multiples casos de estudio. El diseño de la investigación conduce a la elaboración de siete proposiciones. Posteriormente, tres casos procedentes del sector de automoción son evaluados. El análisis de los casos proporciona pruebas que confirman las siete proposiciones y, por lo tanto, validan el marco adoptado para explicar cómo innovar responsablemente. A partir de los resultados del caso, se describen las conclusiones y las implicaciones para las empresas que tratan de innovar responsablemente. La principal contribución de esta tesis es un conjunto de mecanismos validados que se pueden utilizar a nivel de empresa para fomentar la generación de innovaciones que contribuyan a la sostenibilidad.

"Determinantes da propensão a inovar entre sectores industriais: análise empírica da sua variância e do seu posicionamento nos países desenvolvidos e Portugal." Master's thesis, Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/1012.
Повний текст джерелаO objectivo desta investigação é o de analisar a relação entre a variância da propensão a patentear por sectores industriais, e os possíveis determinantes dessa variância em 10 economias desenvolvidas (EUA, Canadá, Japão, França, Itália, Alemanha, Reino Unido, Finlândia, Holanda e Dinamarca), sendo um capítulo dedicado exclusivamente a Portugal. Até há bem pouco tempo atrás esta análise não era possível. As bases de dados de patentes estão organizadas de acordo com uma classificação tecnológica, enquanto que as estatísticas económicas são organizadas de acordo com a afiliação sectorial de empresas. Porém, a recente publicação de nome "OECD Technology Concordance -OTC" tornou compatível e disponível informação sobre patentes a um nível sectorial. A fonte original da OTC é o European Patent Office. A análise efectuada relaciona os dados por sector industrial provenientes do OTC com informação sobre possíveis determinantes do patenteamento. Uma matriz de concordância teve que ser construída para tornar a informação proveniente de 6 fontes diferentes, perfeitamente compatível. É efectuada uma análise empírica através de um modelo econométrico que foi corrido separadamente para cada país e assumiu a forma geral log-lin. Seguidamente foi estimado um modelo com todos os países agrupados, pretendendo-se criar um exemplo único que permitisse obter estimativas expectáveis comparáveis com dados reais. Foram utilizadas as médias dos anos 93/94/95/96. A variável dependente foi representada através de "patentes por trabalhador por sector industrial". As variáveis explicativas principais são: APP (eficiência das patentes na apropriabilidade dos lucros em inovação); EFFORT (intensidade em I&D); SIZE (distribuição dimensional de empresas em cada indústria); e X/VAB ou X/VBP (propensão à exportação). As variáveis explicativas secundárias são: GVAB (oportunidade de mercado para inovar) e StPATDID (produtividade do investimento em I&D). A estimação econométrica revelou que APP e EFFORT são significativas para a maioria das economias, enquanto X/VAB ou X/VBP tendem a ser estatisticamente significativas em países fora da UE, ou países com comportamentos desviantes dentro da UE. Finalmente, temos que a variável SIZE, apesar de significativa estatisticamente, tem um impacto negativo no patenteamento. As variáveis secundárias têm fraca aderência ao modelo. Utilizando os resultados estatísticos do modelo Europeu no modelo Português, efectuámos a comparação da procura de patentes efectivamente existente em Portugal com aquelas que seriam expectáveis de acordo com a norma dada pelo grupo de países da UE. Finalizamos o estudo com as possíveis implicações destes resultados para teoria de inovação e na formulação de política públicas.
The aim of this investigation is to analyze the relationship between the variance of patenting propensity across different industrial sectors, and the possible determinants of that variance in 10 economies (US, Canada, Japan, France, Italy, Germany, UK, Finland, Netherlands and Denmark). We dedicate a chapter exclusively to Portugal. Until recently such analysis would not be possible. Patent statistics have been organized according to a technological classification, while economic statistics are organized according to the sectoral affiliation of firms. However, the recently published "OECD Technology Concordance - OTC" database has made available patenting data on a sectoral level. The original source of the OTC information is the European Patent Office. The analysis we carried out related the sectoral OTC data with information about the possible determinants of patenting. A concordance matrix had to be built to make compatible information stemming from 6 different sources. The econometric model that was run separately for each country, assumed the log-lin form with average values for years 93/94/95/96. As it follows we ran a generic model to all 10 countries, in order to create a unique example that would allow comparable estimates with real data. The dependent variable has been represented by "patents per employee". The main explanatory variables are: APP (effectiveness of patents to appropriate the returns on innovation); EFFORT (R&D intensity); SIZE (dimensional distribution of firms in each industry); and X/GVA or X/GDP (export propensity). The secondary explanatory variables are: gGVA (market opportunity to innovate) and StPATDID (R&D productivity). The econometric estimation revealed that APP and EFFORT are significant for most economies, while X/GVA or X/GDP tends to be statistically significant only for non-EU countries, or countries with deviant behaviour inside EU. Finally SIZE despite always very significant has a negative impact on patenting. The secondary variables have poor adherence to the model. Applying the European results to the Portuguese Model, we can compare the patents actually requested to those expectable with the European structure. The paper finalizes with the implications of these results for both innovation theory and policy formulation.

Повний текст джерелаThe resource-based view of the firm argues that competitive advantages lie in the use of valuable resources that are difficult to emulate. The intellectual capital-based view (ICV) extends this argument by studying such resources; particularly intangible (or knowledge) assets that may be classified in three main components: human, structural, and relational capital.This thesis aims to evaluate the ICV as a framework for understanding the favorable conditions that allow firms to innovate by creating new goods and services (i.e., products). Specifically, this thesis seeks to analyze the specific roles of each capital capital component in product innovation. Using European data, it covers an ample range of firm types (i.e, nascent firms, small and medium-sized enterprises, and large firms) and business sectors (including manufacturing and services). Chapter 1 investigates human capital and other determinants of business creation as a measure of entrepreneurship in European cities. Chapter 2 examines the impact of knowledge spillovers on in-house R&D investment and innovation performance in firms. Chapter 3 leverages the concept of absorptive capacity to explore whether similar configurations of IC are associated with the performance of relational capital in companies.Overall, this dissertation finds that the ICV provides a fertile ground to formulate and test hypotheses concerning the drivers of product innovation. It allows to focus research on how companies mobilize intangible assets in order to develop and commercialize new goods and services. Furthermore, this approach provides several lessons for managers and policy recommendations that may help to articulate corporate practices

Innovation has been a force of development for a nation, firm and individual in the new knowledge-based economy and thus is the primary method for adapting to a dynamic environment. In this study, we focused on the display of innovation performance from a nation, a firm and an individual level. On a nation level, research and development (R&;D) activity is multifaceted and R &; D in high technology is most active in Taiwan. The innovation outcome of nanotechnology was the focus of study 1. Nanotechnology has seen rapid growth and expansion in recent years. One interesting question to ask is whether or not there is a different development in innovative ability and performance among countries and as to a reference of innovation outcomes of a nation level. This study presents results on the international analysis of nanotechnology patents using U.S. Patent and Trademark office (USPTO) data derived from NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research, USA) website searched by keywords of the entire text between 1976 and 2002 for the ten leading countries. After characterizing the citation linkage as indicator relationships between nanotechnology development and innovation, we aim to compare the innovative ability and performance of the ten leading countries in nanotechnology and contribute to a better understanding of competitive advantage of nations in nanotechnology, to better understand the moves of their competitors and potential commercial benefits. For example, Taiwan and South Korea had a higher percentage of backward citation lags in recent years because of the rapid progress in nanotechnology. In the annual bias-adjusted Herfindahl index, Taiwan, South Korea and Australia had been relatively concentrated in certain areas in nanotechnology development. This implies that nanotechnology development in Taiwan is specialized rather than diversified. In addition, Taiwan was ranked ninth in average of patent numbers from 1976 to 2002 and the trend is increasing. Taiwan was ranked fifth in 2002, evidence of the level of activity in Taiwan of nanotechnology publishing patents. Second, on a firm level, this study focuses on the strategies used by publicly listed firms in Taiwan to generate the capability of integrating organizational innovation and investigates the impacts of these strategies on organizational performance. A hierarchical regression analysis is used to look at the relationships between organizational innovation strategies and performance. The dataset comes from several sources, including USPTO, firms’ public financial reports from the Taiwan Economic Journal (TEJ) database, and returned questionnaires from an organizational innovation survey in 2009. Three different data sources are analyzed to secure the validity of the survey data and to avoid common method bias. This study finds that a firm’s innovation characteristics, including innovation assets, innovation capabilities, and innovation strategies to integrate external resources, positively affect organizational sale performance. A firm’s innovation assets and innovation capabilities have different impacts on gross profit and Tobin’s Q. In addition, the relationship between a firm’s innovation characteristics and performance changes during different innovation life cycle stages. In particular, when a firm is in the mature stage of product and process innovation, the influences of innovation assets or innovation capabilities on organizational performance are weaker than the impacts during a firm’s emerging stage. Third, on an individual level, this study aimed to test the hypothesis that adoption of a handicraft quality certification system will promote consumers’ willingness to purchase indigenous handicrafts in Taiwan by survey. The results show that both a brand effect and quality management effect can promote consumers to spend more money buying accredited indigenous handicrafts. Because the certification of an individual innovative product can reduce customer transaction costs and increase consumers’ trust. This suggests that the implementation of the “Certification System for Taiwan Indigenous Cultural Industry” in Taiwan will help increase consumers’ recognition of Taiwan indigenous handicrafts. The results also imply that the effect of a difference in the price of handicrafts will benefit craftmakers and any technology associated with the certification system. In addition, implementing such a system will contribute to enhanced social security, protection of cultural heritage and promotion of national development. Overall, patent numbers are rapidly growing in Taiwan which can promote the positive development of organizational performance affected by organizational innovation assets. This is especially true for firms in the emerging stage of product and process innovation life cycle, where the impacts are stronger than the impacts for firms in a more mature stage. In addition, firms can improve organizational performance from external technology acquisition, and individual innovations can also enhance the benefits from external resources using government policies.

Знайти повний текст джерелаIn Chapter 1, I construct a new proxy for Tobin's q that incorporates the replacement cost of patent capital. This proxy, PI (physical plus intangible) q, explains up to 64\% more variation in investment than other proxies for q. Furthermore, investment is more sensitive to PI q than to other proxies for q. Although investment is predicted more accurately by, and is more sensitive to, PI q, controlling for PI q leads to relatively higher, not lower, cash flow coefficients. All results are stronger in subsamples with more patent capital. Overall, using PI q strengthens the historically weak investment-q relation.
Chapter 2 includes Noah Stoffman and M. Deniz Yavuz as co-authors, and in this chapter, we find that small innovators (i.e., small, innovative firms) earn higher returns than small non-innovators for up to five years. We find no such innovative premium among large firms. A battery of tests shows that our results are explained by risk, not investor underreaction. Small innovators are especially risky because they focus more on risky product innovation and rely more on organization capital that amplifies their systematic risk. In addition, small innovators contribute significantly to the size premium. Overall, small innovators have a higher cost of equity, which potentially explains why they rely heavily on internal capital.

Повний текст джерелаAlthough scholars have recognized that alertness is critical in identifying and exploring opportunities, empirical studies exploring when alertness drives innovation are lacking. Drawing insights from the cognitive and contingency perspectives, the current study addresses this gap in by arguing that variations in firm product innovativeness is a function of degree of entrepreneurial alertness and levels of internal firm capabilities and environmental conditions. Data were collected from from 385 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana. This study used the hierarchical regression estimation technique to analyses the data and found that a significant positive relationship between entrepreneurial alertness and firm product innovativeness. Moreover, the findings showed that entrepreneurial alertness is beneficial for firms to innovate when pressures from customers and competitors are intense. Finally, the results revealed that stronger market information sharing and technological opportunism also amplify the alertness-innovativeness relationship.

Повний текст джерелаNa Alemanha, há evidências de uma crescente lacuna de inovação entre pequenas e grandes empresas. O número de empresas que inovam diminui à medida que empresas menores são abandonam os esforços de inovação mais rapidamente. Acredita-se que a digitalização seja um facilitador da inovação, porém empresas menores parecem relutantes em implementar ferramentas digitais em suas operações. Este estudo investiga as relações de tamanho, idade e tecnologia digital com a inovação de empresas. Os resultados apontam que empresas maiores e mais jovens são mais propensas a criar inovações de produtos. A digitalização é a alavanca de inovação esperada que permite que mais empresas digitais tenham mais inovações de produto e processo. Além disso, um maior grau de digitalização aponta para um efeito moderador positivo nas inovações de processo em empresas maiores. Os resultados são baseados em milhares de PMEs alemãs registradas no Mannheim Innovation Panel, um conjunto de dados representativo da economia alemã. A metodologia aplicada é a análise de regressão linear multivariada e modelos de estimativa de efeitos fixos. Este estudo destaca a importância da tecnologia digital em um contexto de economia de inovação, uma vez que poderia reduzir a lacuna de inovação entre empresas menores e maiores. Portanto, os gerentes devem reconhecer o potencial de inovação fornecido pela tecnologia digital. Referente ao setor público, deve-se incentivar níveis mais altos de digitalização, especialmente para empresas menores, e fornecer acesso a ofertas de treinamento em nível individual para funcionários mais velhos, que muitas vezes se sentem inaptos em trabalhar com ferramentas digitais.

Повний текст джерелаThis work aims to contribute to a better understanding of the factors describing digital transformation maturity at a firm level, helping organizations to identify deficiencies in its effectiveness and proposing a conceptual model that can assist in a digital transformation maturity elevation. The research performed in 153 firms from different industries, investigates the factors behind digital transformation maturity, using the institutional theory as part of the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework, relating those contexts with the organizational innovativeness and moderating it with the artifacts of innovation and with the knowledge management.

Повний текст джерелаIn spite of growing research on the influence of external stakeholders on firm outcomes, there is a paucity of research on how they influence innovation in emerging economies. In addition, the specific environmental factors that may influence the effect of stakeholder integration (SI) on firm innovation is less understood. Using data collected from 248 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana, this paper develops and tests a model that examines the relationship between SI and firm-level product innovativeness. The findings from the study indicate SI positively relates to product innovativeness. Moreover, under conditions of higher competitor pressure and greater customer expectations, the effect of SI on product innovativeness is amplified. Contributions for theory and practice are discussed.

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis addresses the financing problems faced by firms. Specifically, we test for the existence of firms’ financial constraints, as well as we analyse their role upon firm behaviour. We argue that: a) Portuguese firms face significant financial constraints; b) the extent to which firms are affected by constraints depends on a number of distinct characteristics, beyond financial aspects; c) financial constraints clearly influence firm behaviour, namely with regard to export and innovation activities; d) suitable policies to mitigate financial constraints should be considered, even though subsidies might not be the most effective policy instrument. To support these arguments, we conduct several tests, using a large representative sample of Portuguese firms and different approaches to measure financial constraints. Accordingly, this thesis contributes to the understanding of firms’ behaviour under financial problems, while it points directions for future research. Finally, this work has serious implications upon future policy actions.
A presente tese analisa os problemas de financiamento enfrentados pelas empresas. Em particular, investiga a existência de restrições ao financiamento das empresas e o seu impacto no comportamento das mesmas. Nesta tese defende-se que: a) as empresas portuguesas enfrentam restrições financeiras significativas; b) a existência de restrições ao financiamento das empresas depende de um conjunto de características distintas, que vão para além de aspectos meramente financeiros; c) as restrições financeiras têm um impacto visível no comportamento das empresas, nomeadamente no que respeita às actividades de inovação e exportadoras; d) deverão ser consideradas políticas que visem o combate às restrições ao financiamento das empresas, ainda que a atribuição de subsídios possa não ser a política mais adequada. De modo a sustentar esta tese, são efectuados vários estudos, utilizando uma amostra representativa de empresas portuguesas, bem como diferentes medidas de restrições financeiras. Como tal, este trabalho não só contribui para uma melhor compreensão do comportamento das empresas afectadas por problemas financeiros, como também identifica um conjunto de linhas de investigação futura. Por fim, este estudo leva a conclusões relevantes para a condução de política.
