Innovation Strategies and Performance in Small Firms

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionExploring the scope, breadth and depth of innovation in small firms, the authors of this book employ a rich array of survey data to analyze the operating characteristics of dynamic small-firm populations. They investigate the strategies and activities that small firms pursue at different stages in their lifecycles and in different competitive environments, as well as which business skills are associated with survival, innovation, growth and high performance. John Baldwin and Guy Gellatly find that the strategic decisions young firms make play a critical role in determining their odds for survival and growth. New small firms survive by developing a core set of business skills - skills related inter alia to management, human resources,marketing and financing. Advanced innovation capabilities related to R&,D and technology set high-performance firms apart from other businesses. Industry-level differences in product lifecycle, production activity, competitive intensity… [detailed...]

Innovation Strategies in Interdependent States: Essays on Smaller Nations, Regions And Cities in a Globalized World (New Horizons in the Economics of Innovation)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Examining the issues facing smaller regions and countries, John de la Mothe explores how innovation, strategy and interdependence shape their performance, competition, and futures. Innovation and interdependence are central elements of advanced and advancing economies. In our globalized world, the production of knowledge is continually evolving. This is reflected in the design of institutions and in the results on the standards of living that are achieved and sustained. It also implies new forms of competition. Increasingly, smaller countries, regions and cities that do not fit into traditional theories of growth are becoming leaders in technology-intensive products and quick followers in innovative practices. Often heavily committed to large emerging economic markets (such as China and India) and political hegemons (such as Germany, Japan, and the United States), smaller nations, regions and cities are playing an almost unprecedented role in the shape of things to come.

Innovation Styles

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Innovation is about the creation and implementation of new ideas. Everyone is creative-but we are creative in different ways. Your innovation style represents your habit or preference about how you approach a problem or issue. Understanding that styles may be different makes it possible for individuals to become more versatile in how they approach creative tasks. By appreciating and valuing others` approaches to innovation, you can more effectively present your ideas. And teams and work groups are able to generate a much broader range of options when they appreciate and use each other`s styles of innovation. `Innovation Styles` is a self-assessment questionnaire that helps identify a person`s preferred approach to creative thinking. Each style contributes valuable ideas, and everyone gains by using all four styles to generate a wider range of options. After answering a series of questions, you will create a graphic that shows what kind of information input you prefer and how you… [detailed...]

Innovation Systems in the Service Economy: - Measurement and Case Study Analysis (ECONOMICS OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION Volume 18)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: A frequent complaint in literature is that services have been previously largely overlooked by innovation researchers and technology policy makers. Given the unarguable growth in the importance of the service sectors, increasing numbers of researchers and policy makers have taken a fresh look at service activities. Innovation Systems in the Service Economy: Measurement and Case Study Analysis presents contributions which increase the understanding of the role of services in the development of the division of labor in modern economics. This volume is devoted to the elaboration and understanding of the following two themes. First, service firms can be innovative in their own right, even though the process of innovation and the kinds of innovation may be different from those traditionally associated with manufacturing and other primary activities. Second, service firms and associated activities play an important role in the evolving division of creative labor which is constituted by… [detailed...]

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe World Bank has gained significant experience and has an important role to play in supporting innovation systems projects (successful programs included Korea, India, Indonesia, Turkey). The Bank?s role typically has been to facilitate and augment reform efforts through its experiences around the world and play the role of an `honest broker` between the productive and S&,T sectors and facilitating the reform process by bringing together relevant partners. This enhances the effectiveness of the design and delivery of services and the sustainability of these activities. The Bank?s involvement also encourages that difficult measures are taken, including the raising of institutional accountability. Prudent market tests are applied to the various available interventions and fiscal discipline is imposed on institutions that are in the process of restructuring. Drawing on its experience the Bank can provide the long-term support, advice, and leverage needed during… [detailed...]

Innovation and Industry Evolution

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: It once took two decades to replace one-third of the Fortune 500, now a subset of new firms are challenging and displacing this elite group at a breathtaking rate, while armies of startups come and go within just a few years. Most new jobs are, in fact, coming from small firms, reversing the trend of a century. David Audretsch takes a close look at the U.S. economy in motion, providing a detailed and systematic investigation of the dynamic process by which industries and firms enter into markets, either grow and survive, or disappear. He shapes a clear understanding of the role that small, entrepreneurial firms play in this evolutionary process and in the asymmetric size distribution of firms in the typical industry. Audretsch introduces thelarge longitudinal database maintained by the U.S. Small Business Administration that is used to identify the startup of new firms and track their performance over time. He then provides different snapshots of the process of industries… [detailed...]

Innovation and Inequality: How Does Technical Progress Affect Workers?

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Karl Marx predicted a world in which technical innovation would increasingly devalue and impoverish workers, but other economists thought the opposite, that it would lead to increased wages and living standards--and the economists were right. Yet in the last three decades, the market economy has been jeopardized by a worrying phenomenon: a rise in wage inequality that has left a substantial portion of the workforce worse off despite the continuing productivity growth enjoyed by the economy. Innovation and Inequality examines why. Studies have firmly established a link between this worrying trend and technical change, in particular the rise of new information technologies. In Innovation and Inequality, Gilles Saint-Paul provides a synthetic theoretical analysis of the most important mechanisms by which technical progress and innovation affect the distribution of income. He discusses the conditions under which skill-biased technical change may reduce the wages of the least skilled, and… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionInnovation and Institutions is an extensive elaboration on the make up of systems of innovation. It examines why some countries are more innovative than others, why national styles of innovation differ, and goes on to explore why some countries make radical innovations but fail to successfully market them, while others making incremental innovations have more commercial success. The book draws on a variety of different literatures and perspectives to illustrate the organizational and institutional dimensions of national innovation systems. Literatures discussed include the economics of innovation, organizational sociology, administrative science, institutional economics, organizational learning network analysis, business systems, economicgovernance and regulation. This truly interdisciplinary book will be invaluable to academics and researchers focusing on innovation in a wide range of fields. It will also strongly appeal to practitioners and policymakers concerned… [detailed...]

Innovation and Small Firms

1990 y.
Publisher: The MIT Press
Description: Utilizing a unique data set, Zoltan Acs and David Audretsch provide a rich empirical analysis of the increased importance of small firms in generating technological innovations and their growing contribution to the U.S. economy. They identify the contributions made by both small and large firms to the innovative process and the manner in which market structure, and the firm-size distribution in particular, responds to technological change. The authors` analysis relies on traditional theories of industrial organization and tests existing hypotheses, many of them previously untested due to data constraints. Innovation and Small Firms brings together two large data bases recently released by the U. S. Small Business Administration - one directly measuring innovative activity for large and small firms, the other providing a detailed census of economic activity for all manufacturing firms and plants across a broad spectrum of industries.

From an evolutionary point of view, the contributors argue that firms and organizations are increasingly forced to take into account the growing complexity of the environment. To do this, they must create strategies that interpret external expectations, but also deal with the internal reflexivity processes caused by innovation. The way to bridge between strategy and innovation, they suggest, is through strategic reflexivity. [detailed...]
