Abstract Only a handful of studies on innovation empirically analyze the links between firm innovation and the sources of that innovative activity of sources of innovation on types of innovation. To fill this gap in the literature, this study provides one of the first tests to identify how important sources of new information (suppliers, customers, other business people in the industry, workers, and university) are associated with types of innovations (product, process, and marketing). Data come from the 2014 National Survey of Business Competitiveness sponsored by the Economic Research Service at the United States Department of Agriculture (n = 10,952). The results show that innovation ideas emanating from customers, workers, and universities are positively associated with all types of innovations, suggesting that these sources are critical for developing different types of innovation. In particular, universities as a source of innovation activity are especially important. In contrast, other sources, such as suppliers and people in industry do not seem to be as important as a source of innovation.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents a cluster analysis of innovation of knowledge sources based on the standards in the field of Electrical Engineering. Both local (SRPS) and global (ISO) knowledge sources have been analysed with the aim of innovating a Knowledge Base (KB). The results presented indicate a means/possibility of grouping the subfields within a cluster. They also point to a trend or intensity of knowledge source innovation for the purpose of innovating the KB that accompanies innovations. The study provides the possibility of predicting necessary financial resources in the forthcoming period by means of original mathematical relations. Furthermore, the cluster analysis facilitates the comparison of the innovation intensity in this and other (sub)fields. Future work relates to the monitoring of the knowledge source innovation by means of KB engineering and improvement of the methodology of prediction using neural networks.

Full textAbstract:
The present study assessed the factors related to innovative output in the Dutch agrifood industry, a scale-intensive, supplierdominated industry. We concentrated on explanatory variables related to cooperation, information sources, innovation objectives, obstacles to innovation, and innovation resources. Firm-level data were used from the Dutch section of the 2001 Community Innovation Survey (CIS, N=328). We conducted linear and binary logistic regression to analyse the data. The results show that in order to be successful in product innovation, firms must have a strong market orientation. Furthermore, we found that in order to become (more) innovative, firms must have organisational conditions in place, as organisational obstacles are associated with lower levels of innovative output. Innovation subsidies turn out to have a positive effect on both product and process innovations. With respect to the value of a focal firm's network, the surprising conclusion can be drawn that the network is not perceived as crucial for innovation: cooperation is not a factor that explains innovative output; and network actors are - only to a limited extent - perceived as important sources of information for innovation. Competitors as an important source of information explain the share of the total turnover from new or improved products, whereas suppliers are an important information source for process innovators. In summary, innovative agrifood firms do not rely strongly on external sources, contrary to expectations for supplier-dominated firms. Instead, Dutch innovative agrifood firms more strongly reflect the characteristics of scale-intensive firms.

In a knowledge-based economy, it has become increasingly important to better understand critical aspects of the innovation process such as innovation activities beyond R&D, the interaction among different actors in the market and the relevant knowledge flows. Using a sample of 431 textiles and apparel manufacturers, this paper explores the dynamics of firms’ innovation activities by analyzing their innovation behavior, the extent and types of innovation, the resources devoted to innovation, sources of knowledge spillovers, the factors hampering technological innovation and the returns to innovation for three years, 2013–15. Our results show that 56 percent of the surveyed firms introduced technological and/or nontechnological innovations, while 38 percent introduced new products, these innovations were generally incremental as the majority of innovations were new only to the firm. Furthermore, the innovation rate increases with firm size; large firms have an innovation rate of 83 percent, followed by medium firms (68 percent) and small firms (39 percent). Technologically innovative firms spent, on average, 10 percent of their turnover on innovation expenditure in 2015. Acquisition of machinery and equipment is the main innovation activity, accounting for 56 percent of innovation expenditures. Large firms consider foreign market sources (clients and suppliers) and small firms consider local market sources their key source of information and cooperation. 63 percent of technological innovators cite improving the quality of goods as their most important objective. Lack of available funds within the enterprise is the single most important cost factor hampering innovation, followed by the high cost of innovation. Our results show that 67 percent of the turnover among product innovators in 2015 resulted from product innovations that were either new to the market or new to the firm.

Full textAbstract:
This study addresses how external knowledge sources affect product innovation by examining innovating Korean manufacturers surveyed by STEPI in 2012. The external knowledge source of the company is classified in STI mode (science-technology-innovation) on the basis of scientific knowledge and DUI mode (doing-using-interacting) on the basis of experience knowledge. First, the study reveals that neither the STI nor DUI modes affects the firm’s financial performance via product innovation. Second, the results show that the more the company learns from external knowledge through the STI or DUI modes, the more frequent its product innovation. Therefore, STI and DUI usage is found to be proportional to the frequency of product innovation, with the STI mode exerting much more influence on product innovation frequency. Finally, the study finds that neither the STI nor DUI modes affect exploratory innovation but that the DUI mode is proportional to it. Thus, the frequency of product innovation is enhanced through the STI mode via the application of externally sourced scientific knowledge to the innovation process, while current technology and products are enhanced through the DUI mode. This study finds that enhancing product innovation requires that companies determine the proper external knowledge source in accordance with their innovation performance goals.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, we demonstrate that contemporary financial reporting systems have the capacity to contribute significantly to the generation of innovation-relevant competitive intelligence. This potential arises because, as part of its regular work, the financial reporting system compiles, collects, analyzes, and synthesizes strategically relevant information about (i) complex internal technical processes related to inventions, discoveries, product development, process innovations, and the like; (ii) detailed sales, cost, and profit forecasts; (iii) consumer trends and innovative developments in the firm’s markets; (iv) actual and potential competitor actions in the market; and (v) regulatory changes, macro-economic trends, and information about the likely impact of government policies. We argue that this competitive intelligence can, if properly harnessed, lead to better informed discourses and decisions around innovation. Consequently, we highlight the potential—from both academic research and practical perspectives—of financial reporting as an enabler of innovation-relevant competitive intelligence embeddedness within firms.

Introduction. Research, development and creation of innovation as a prerequisite for a gradual transition to the fourth industrial revolution will require significant financial resources. Deficit of free public and private capital, the existence of potential risks of innovation make it difficult to attract resources for innovation and investment projects. Purpose. Identify financial support for innovation, causes inefficient investment generalize the experience of the developed of OECD countries, outline ways to improve tax legislation in Ukraine. Results. The main results of the study. In the period of 2011–2015. The main source of financing innovations were the resources of enterprises, as well as significantly reduced funding from the budget, foreign investments and other sources. Revealed that the fiscal stimulus, including the application of the tax legislation accelerated depreciation of fixed assets – not intensified investment and innovation processes. Financial resources are concentrated on providing ongoing activities, rather than on upgrading technology to the level of new technological structures. Research experience providing financial innovation in developed OECD countries and Vietnam showed that the structure of sources of financial support is of secondary importance compared to the volume of financing, the ability to attract resources for co-financing of state enterprises, financial institutions, innovation funds; the use of innovative financial instruments to attract resources. Conclusion. The process of financial support innovation offered to restore fiscal incentives to new conditions – to achieve efficiency innovation (creating an innovative product, the introduction of innovative new technologies, innovative renewal of fixed assets, etc.), targeted use of resources from the use of tax incentives and methods for accelerated depreciation.

Purpose This study aims to demonstrate the values and effects of innovation becomes a challenge when selecting clear and correlating measures. While there is extensive research in the area of innovation measurement, there is a lack of consistent quantifiable measures that organizations can use. The International Association of Innovation Professionals (IAOIP) has partnered with Spigit to crowdsource innovation measures via the Innovation Measurement Standard (IMS) challenge with IAOIP members and the global public to determine the various ways innovation is measured across industries. Design/methodology/approach This study used a mixed-methods approach and a sequential exploratory design to analyze the data collected during the IMS challenge. In the first phase, the qualitative methodology was used to analyze innovation measures submitted during the IMS challenge and participants’ interactions and comments. In the second phase, the innovation measures were analyzed quantitatively to identify the most prominent measures. Findings A total of 73 innovation measures were collected during the challenge. In total, 18 top measures were ranked based on the participants’ votes, and the top five measures were selected as the winning measures of the challenge. These five measures included intelligent failure rate, financial results of innovation, the results brought to the company, the number of innovative ideas selected for action and innovation portfolio balancing. Originality/value This study is the first to select the innovation metrics while considering their relevance to the community of innovators that included academics, CEOs, consultants, innovation managers, etc. Another original factor of this work is the crowdsourcing approach used to identify innovation measures. This approach allowed us to explore multiple perspectives on the significance of each submitted measure.

Full textAbstract:
Innovation has become a key source of competitive advantage that supports companies in achieving sustainable development. Organizational innovations usually start from employees’ innovative ideas, irrespective of the company’s size. If there were no specific rules to restrain employees from generating novel ideas, innovation could happen anywhere in an organization. The quest for innovation calls for a broad range of management strategies that are far beyond the research and development (R&D) investment. How can managers integrate intra-organizational management and external factors to incentivize people for innovations? Drawing on the interactional theory of organizational innovation, this study adopted a systematic perspective and tested the effect of the innovative climate on sales and manufacturing department innovation while examining the moderating effects of government support and market competition. Our findings from a survey of 482 companies showed that: (1) an innovative climate has a positive effect on both sales and manufacturing department innovation, (2) government support strengthens the positive effect of an innovative climate on department innovations, and (3) market competition enhances the positive moderating effect of government support on the relationship between an innovative climate and department innovation, such that the innovative climate exerts a stronger influence on department employee-driven innovation when government support and market competition are both high. Our study provides companies with an effective and low-cost approach to enhance competitiveness. We discuss the theoretical contributions and practical implementations of this study.

Abstract This paper deals with the attempt to search for the sources of creativity in the broad sense in solving problems. These creative solutions become innovations. The ability to develop innovation depends on the multi-dimensional predispositions to solve problems – those found in people, inspired by the market, organised or spontaneous, as well as facilitated or hampered by the state. Yet, the aforementioned factors should be supplemented with one more – gender. In the chapter attention is paid to the multi-dimensional differences stemming from gender, which should be perceived as a positive element, because they are the source of synergy resulting from collaboration among research or business teams in the process of innovation. The chapter introduces the concept of ‘innovative gender’ and its institutional framework. The methodological inspiration is the model known in the literature as the Innovation Genome, the conceptualization of which constitutes a major part of the study.

The Object of the Study. Innovative activity The Subject of the Study. Sources of financing innovation The Purpose of the Study is identifying of optimal sources of innovation in the digital economy. The Main Provisions of the Article. The most important elements of a system that ensures the smooth functioning of the innovation process are the sources and mechanisms of financing technological innovation. At the present stage of development, such an adequate and effective holistic system in the Russian Federation has not been created. The key conditions for creating a favorable economic environment are: the effective functioning of financing mechanisms, the quality and condition of investment sources, which determine the ability and potential of creating and implementing technological innovations. The digital economy is currently opening up conceptually new sources of funding. The dynamic development of digital solutions and technologies in the financial sector enables organizations to reduce the time spent on searching and making decisions about the source, mechanism and procedures for financing operational and strategic activities. The innovative activity carried out on an ongoing basis allows organizations to dynamically develop, meet business trends, or even create them. As you know, innovation requires serious investment and, as a rule, the more risky the innovation, the greater the profitability it has. In foreign practice of financing innovation, crowdfunding platforms have become widespread. Currently, the United States and individual EU representatives are the undisputed leaders in the development of financial technologies, payment systems, digitalization of financial services. In terms of the penetration of digital technologies in the financial sector (it reaches 85% according to experts), such countries also occupy the first positions. One of the main trends of the financial sector in developed countries is the creation of virtual banks and the Internet banking service. The article analyzes and evaluates the structure of sources of financing technological innovations, carries out a comparative analysis of financing research and development in Russia and developed countries, and considers the possibilities of using digital tools and sources to finance innovation.

This paper is intended to contribute to the knowledge about the patterns of innovations in different economic sectors. Hence, the general objective is to assess the differences in rates, directions, sources and efforts of innovations between low-tech and high-tech industries in Brazil. The analysis is based on the database of a survey on innovation (PINTEC) conducted by IBGE. The sample includes 8,578 innovative Brazilian companies surveyed from selected low-tech industries (food and textiles manufactures) and high-tech industries (vehicles and electronics industries). Descriptive and factorial correspondence analysis were used to identify the variables regarding rates, directions, sources and efforts of innovation that discriminate the low-tech industries of high-tech. The results confirm that low-tech industries differ from high tech ones in all pattern of innovations dimensions analyzed. Hence, low tech industries, compared to high-tech ones, are less innovative, innovate more in process, have fewer people dedicated to RD, present suppliers as the most significant source of information and is a larger user of Government funding for the purchase of machinery and equipment. On the other hand, the high-tech industries are more innovative, innovate more in products, have more people dedicated to RD, search for information of other groups of companies, customers and competitors, and their larger use of public financing is for investing in RD.

The appearance and diffusion of new forms of innovation called open, lead us to question the relevance of this new paradigm, access to a reformulation of the traditional vision, dedicated to internal control of the R&D process, towards a broadening of practices, including external opportunities in terms of ideas, technologies and skills required. It is clear that the efforts of companies in the field of innovation must enable them to reach a significant level of control, which will allow them to obtain a strategic positioning in terms of competitiveness. However, the major transformations of the last 30 years, in the technological, social and economic fields, have had significant effects and a very strong impact on the level of competitiveness of companies. It is undeniable that innovation is not only the sign of the vitality of a company, according to (Schumpeter), but also, a base on which will be the sustainable economic development of a society. Several experiences in the world, show the development of innovative strategies in the field of innovation, in its different forms, which consist in implementing a policy of strengthening individual and collective initiatives, by implementing new models of support to innovation, as the model of open innovation. Indeed, this form of innovation management tends to strengthen inter-company relationships and to increase the exchange of information and cooperation between the company and its partners. The objective of this work is to highlight the challenges of open innovation, by structuring networked companies around open innovation (BCG and CMI report 2008), and the opportunities offered by the latter to companies. This new vision which, according to (Chesbrouch 2003), no longer consists in being satisfied with the internal resources of the company, but rather in relying on the capacity for innovation of multiple external stakeholders.

Abstract As time went by, innovations have not only accompanied, but also shaped the evolution of humankind, while being its loyal source of progress; and they have played the same leading role at organizational (firm/company) level – although, if moving beyond the cumulative (global) outputs, a thorough (unit based) analysis would reveal that (the same) innovations have always distinguished between first movers and followers, innovators and imitators, winners and losers. Thus, the most innovative companies have had the opportunity of capitalizing on their realized innovation potential as industry innovation leaders, while the other companies have had to search for other types of strategic positioning in order to be competitive. But realities and trends are quite different nowadays – the unprecedented (time-related) pace and (space-related) diffusion rate that characterize innovations ask for companies to fundamentally change their approach on innovation: under the new circumstances, innovation can no longer be an option (but a perennial must – a marathon, not a sprint) and each company has to become (to a certain degree) an innovative company – in order to survive. Against this background, the paper aims to: (a). provide an outline of the main categories/topics the literature on organizational innovation deal with; (b). identify the profile and main characteristics of innovative companies; (c). compare and contrast two globally recognized rankings of the most innovative companies (BCG & PwC) in terms of companies’ characteristics.

AbstractWith complex technology-intense industries follows an ever-increasing need for rapid innovation processes. Yet, innovation speed and the time from idea to product realization can vary and be unpredictable.Design Thinking (DT) is suggested as a key driver to impact the speed of product innovation within product development projects. To understand and aid the road from early ideas and concepts to value- added products, this paper will provide a literature study on how Design Thinking can facilitate improved product innovation performance through innovation speed.The paper seeks to develop an overview of new insight on DT applicability for improved product innovation capability. This is done by identifying components that comprise DT´s innovative ability and appropriateness to product development contexts beyond the early creative phases of product development.As DT emphasize on visualization and re-framing problems, it contributes to enhanced clarity, meaning and confidence in ideas and decisions. DT in this way may impact strategy formulation and speed up complex innovation processes by pre-experiencing future situations.

The task of each firm’s strategic management is to identify those sustainable sources of competitive advantage that represent a way to achieve business goals and competitive advantage. Business management should be able to define determinants that fundamentally influence the innovation activity of business. Innovation leaders are influenced by the same set of determinants that allow them to maintain their position in the market. Identifying these determinants is a key source of knowledge for defining or adjusting corporate strategies, enabling sustainable benefits and for efficient building and functioning of countries’ innovation ecosystems based on cross-agents’ interactions leading to sustainable development. The goal of this paper is to identify the combination of innovation determinants in Dynamic Innovation Strategic Model (DISM) driving creation and sustaining innovation leaders’ competitive advantage in selected European countries belonging to the group of moderate innovators. Likewise, authors define a unique set or combinations of factors that will (fundamentally embedded in a company strategy) have a significant impact on the innovative production of the business, which are one of the key elements of innovative ecosystems. With the use of CIS data (from Eurostat) on the innovators and followers of nine EU countries and own regression models, the key determinants of the success of the innovation leaders and followers were found. These determinants are (also in appropriate combination) mainly: in-house R&D activities, co-operation with various partners, and marketing and design. The results clearly show that for innovative leaders, key determinants have a positive impact on produced innovations; for the followers, the same group has a negative influence.

Full textAbstract:
Service innovation is a key source of competitive differentiation across firms and markets. Despite growing attention from practitioners and academics alike, systematic scholarly inquiry into service innovation’s diverse theoretical foundations has to date been limited. This article explores different approaches to service innovation and proposes a typology of four archetypes, each informed by a distinct theoretical perspective and by different underlying assumptions. Process-based and output-based archetypes focus on value-adding phases and output value, respectively. Experiential and systemic archetypes have attracted less attention but become central for firms seeking to cocreate phenomenologically determined value within the service ecosystem. The article also contributes to service innovation research and practice by bringing together the existing archetypes, which were previously treated separately. Juxtaposing these archetypes and emphasizing value and value cocreation, the article proposes an integrative view of how novel value cocreation can be enhanced in service innovations. Finally, we develop an agenda for future research, encouraging researchers and managers to plan service innovations systematically, deploying each archetype in value cocreation, and combining them within an integrative approach.

In this paper author has explored the relationship between technology and organization from the perspective of evolutionary economy. The technology is seen as the key source of dynamism in economic development. This have involved a discussion of the factors shaping long term trends in technological development, the relationship of innovation to economic progress and the role of organizations as sources of innovation activity. The technological innovations arc viewed as mutations which if successful result in variations in the economic environment. Success is in part a function of environmental selection by consumers and users. In order to survive, organizations must adopt to radically new and emergent technological and market conditions ('techno-economic paradigms'). To do this they must learn how to assimilate and apply the new knowledge required to bring about and sustain innovation. Organizations move from current pathways of technological development onto the completely new trajectory offered by new technology. They must play an active role in developing strategies that strengthen their innovative capacity. These processes determinate new organizational form innovative organization.

In the article, based on the analysis of the source and scientific base of the problem of innovation and innovative activity, the key concepts of further research are described, the discussion issues are characterized and our view on the studied construct is outlined. We understand the pedagogical message as a pedagogical professional orientation and the content of innovative activity of future specialists in various fields of education. Definitions of concepts and phenomena “innovation”, “innovation in education”, “innovational activity”, “pedagogical provision in innovation education” are considered. The origin in the scientific circulation of the concept of “innovation” has been clarified. We understand pedagogical innovations as a creative educational process of innovations aimed at updating the content, forms, means and methods of teaching and education, application of new (both in content and form) technologies, organizational dialogue, interactive forms of teacher interaction with students who change globally the nature of the acquisition of professional skills by future specialists and certify the effectiveness of the end result. We consider the innovative activity of students as the orientation of the student’s personality to active scientific and pedagogical activity to obtain new educational, scientific or professional information, immersing themselves in a new information space. The origins of research on the problem of “innovation” and “innovative activities” date back to the second half of the ХІХ century in foreign pedagogical science with the emergence of a new pedagogical field – experimental pedagogy (A. Binet, O. Decroly, A. Lai, E. Clapered, V. Kilpatrick, E. Mayman, E. Thorndike and others), the core of which was creative development of the personality. The historical scientific digression on the studied construct testified to the priority of the functioning of the related term “innovation”, which was formulated by E. Rogers. According to M. Lapin, “innovation” is a conscious introduction also in the main features of reproduction (replication), change of the structure and (or) process of functioning of the sociotechnical system as an element or subsystem and meet both the laws of society development and internal laws of development of object that changes. Under pedagogical innovations we will understand the creative educational process of innovations aimed at updating the content, forms, means and methods of teaching and educating future professionals, the use of new (both in content and form) technologies, organizational dialogue forms of teacher-student (professor-students) interaction, which globally change both the content and forms of its acquisition and educational outcomes. We understand innovative activity in the educational process of higher education institutions as an integrated interaction of teachers-innovators of professional disciplines, activities of students-performers and students-initiators, ready not only to introduce innovations in the process of their professional training, but also to initiate innovations.

Although much has been written about public sector innovation in the last two decades, we still do not fully understand how public sector organizations become innovative. Therefore, this study inductively explored how four Norwegian municipalities developed innovation capabilities. I found that public sector organizations develop two forms of innovation capability in a path-dependent manner: low-routinized innovation capability and highly routinized innovation capability. In the former, dynamic managerial capabilities in the form of individuals’ entrepreneurial and leadership skills comprise the source of innovation capability. In contrast, in the latter, innovation capability emerges from dynamic organizational capabilities, that is, a set of innovation-stimulating routines, processes, tools, and structures. Notably, I found that regardless of the form of innovation capability, both spur the continuous development and implementation of various radical and incremental public sector innovations. Based on these findings, this study offers several contributions to the literature on public sector innovation and to the dynamic capabilities research agenda.

SME-sector enterprises seeking to be more competitive in the domestic and foreign markets should build their competitive advantage on the basis of innovativeness. Analysis and assessment of innovative potential translates into activity (or its absence) in the field of innovation. This is important for determination of business innovativeness and represents a component of business competitiveness. This paper studied the innovativeness of SME-sector enterprises in the region of Warmia and Mazury. The results showed that as many as 62.3% of the surveyed SME-sector enterprises were innovative and that they implemented product innovations the most frequently (31.7% of all innovations). Nevertheless, the majority of innovations were local in nature and the opinions expressed by customers proved to be the most important external source of innovations, while the enterprise owner was the main source of internal innovations.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the role that different external sources of knowledge play in product, process, market and organizational innovations in food SMEs. Design/methodology/approach – This study is based on a web-survey of 214 food European SMEs. Binary logistic regression models were utilized for data analysis. Findings – The findings support the recent studies that suggest that the introduction of different types of innovation is associated with different types of source of knowledge. They indicate that collaboration with customers matter for product innovations in food SMEs while collaboration with competitors is more important for organizational innovations in this type of firm. In addition, collaboration with science base actors does not appear relevant to innovation in food SMEs, supporting previous works that highlight the predominant role of market base actors in innovation in this type of firm. Research limitations/implications – In line with previous research on innovation in SMEs, the generalization of the findings to all European food SMEs may be limited due to the low response rate and the difficulties in collecting innovation data from micro-firms. Data used in the study were gathered from single informants also which may have resulted in self-report bias. Besides, cross-sectional data were employed so no causal inferences could be drawn. Originality/value – Although the food industry is a major sector for the European economy, little attention has been given to the sources of knowledge that may be used for innovation in this industry. This paper offers interesting insights into the importance of external sources for innovation. Moreover, past research dealing with collaboration for innovation usually focus on product and process innovations. The paper adds to these by incorporating market and organizational innovations.

Virtual communication forms play an increasingly important role for innovation and knowledge creation to individuals and to public and private organizations such as research centers, universities, and firms. Whereas biotech R&D cooperation was characteristically organized in a highly specialized cluster based largely on local face-to-face communications and strategic temporary linkages to other agglomerations, this archetypal configuration may undergo changes due to the emerging applicability of open innovation models such as ‘open source biotechnology’ or the advanced integration of physicians and patients into therapy development processes. An in-depth case study of an ‘Open Source Pharma’ network portrays how innovation and knowledge integration mechanisms are put into practice through ´permanence` in virtual space. In this newly created environment a number of geographical patterns are inverted: ´local buzz` turns into ´virtual global buzz`; global pipelines transform to local pipelines. However, institutionalized norms of the virtual network illustrate noteworthy similarities with ´localized capabilities` of regional agglomerations.

Abstract The article is of theoretical and empirical character. The main objective is to identify certain conditions related to the innovative ambidexterity of Polish startups. The objective implementation protocol of the study determined its structure. Its first part presents the most important theoretical concepts related to the presented issues. In particular, on the basis of the literature on the subject, analyses of the innovative ambidexterity. Moreover a start-up was equated with a company operating no longer than a year, which offers an innovative solution. Theoretical considerations provided the basis for the empirical presentation of the results of the author’s own research conducted in 2019 in Poland on startups. On the basis of the outcome it has been established the most important factors determining innovative ambidexterity in startups are: having access to external source of financing and to external infrastructure as well as the acquisition of a license/patent. Moreover it has been diagnosed that create innovation and simultaneously reduce in startups the tension between exploitation and exploration activities to a large extent rely on external sources when implementing their innovation processes. For the theory on management, the theoretical-empirical deliberations presented in the article may be a valuable source of information within the scope of the influence the particular elements of innovative ambidexterity have on startups. However, for entrepreneurs they may be an impulse in the field of effective use of the innovative ambidexterity in the process of building competitiveness of young companies in Poland.

Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to recognize significant innovation determinants on firms’ product, process, and overall innovation activity. Methodology/Approach: The source of data for the analysis is the Community Innovation Survey 2012-2014. If the company has implemented the relevant innovation activity, they acquire a value of 1, or, if the company has not performed a certain activity in the period, they reached 0. As the variables are binary, the logistic regression analysis was used. Findings: Based on the results from the analysis, we defined the proper determinants of firms’ innovation activities but unfortunately, firms are not able to achieve innovative outputs, specifically within CEE countries. This is due, among other things, to several factors such as different conditions in individual countries, different innovation policies at the national as well as company level, managerial approach (aversion) to risk, mistrust between the various actors, and many others. A typical example is the impact of internal R&D on firm innovations. While in the case of product innovations we found a significant positive impact, in the case of process innovations the impact was negative Research Limitation/Implication: We performed on outdated data and we did not make a comparison with countries from Western Europe. Originality/Value of paper: The paper analyses innovation determinants and it is importance for innovation activities within the CEE countries.

The purpose of the study is to develop tools for assessing the level of innovative development of an enterprise in order to improve the management of its innovation activities. Radical increase of the role of innovations in modern conditions predetermines the activation of innovative activity of enterprises on the basis of increasing production efficiency, implementing promising research and development projects and implementing innovative programs. The situation in the world economy demonstrates that the innovative component of enterprise development is the main source of growth and contributes to the level of competitiveness of the organization. As a result of the generalization of the experience of research in the field of innovative development, a system of economic indicators that maximally characterizes the innovation activity carried out by enterprises is formed, which is the basis for developing tools for assessing the level of innovation development of the enterprise, a toolkit for assessing the level of innovative development of an enterprise using the proposed system of economic indicators, to increase the level of innovative development of the enterprise tions and to assess their cost-effectiveness.

: In recent years, the project approach has become an increasingly popular tool for achieving operational and strategic goals and to generally advance the business activity of organizations in fields such as innovation management. We demonstrate the need of including the project approach in the processes of creating innovative solutions. We posit that these two work methods can be combined into a coherent approach known as the innovation project machine. As part of this approach, innovations are implemented and developed more effectively, while agile project management and consolidated research for project managers, amongst others, are the source of inspiration. A systems approach to this concept could constitute a coherent synthesis of solutions available for engineering management. A proposition to integrate the project approach with innovative processes will enable expedient execution of business strategies in contemporary companies.

Full textAbstract:
Measuring the value of intangibles is not easy, because they are critical but usually invisible components of the innovation process. Today, access to nonsurvey data sources, such as administrative data and repositories captured on web pages, opens opportunities to create intangibles based on new sources of information and capture intangible innovations in new ways. Intangibles include ownership of innovative property and human resources that make a company unique but are currently unmeasured. For example, intangibles represent the value of a company’s databases and software, the tacit knowledge of their workers, and the investments in research and development (R&D) and design. Through two case studies, the challenges and processes to both create and measure intangibles are presented using a data science framework that outlines processes to discover, acquire, profile, clean, link, explore the fitness-for-use, and statistically analyze the data. The first case study shows that creating organizational innovation is possible by linking administrative data across business processes in a Fortune 500 company. The motivation for this research is to develop company processes capable of synchronizing their supply chain end to end while capturing dynamics that can alter the inventory, profits, and service balance. The second example shows the feasibility of measurement of innovation related to the characteristics of open source software through data scraped from software repositories that provide this information. The ultimate goal is to develop accurate and repeatable measures to estimate the value of nonbusiness sector open source software to the economy. This early work shows the feasibility of these approaches.

The article summarizes and systematizes the features of innovative activity of food industry enterprises in Ukraine. The dynamics of the volume and structure of expenditures of food industry enterprises on innovations is analyzed. The importance of implementing marketing innovations, which are a priority for EU companies, has been clarified. In Ukraine, preference is given to technological and product innovations that give the fastest results. It is proved that the level of innovative activity of Ukrainian food industry enterprises is insufficient to ensure the development of the industry on the basis of an innovative model and effective modernization. Sources of financing of innovative activity of food industry enterprises in Ukraine are characterized. It is established that the key source of funding for innovative development is the own funds of enterprises, which account for more than 80% of all resources. The problems of innovation development in Ukraine are identified: political instability, lack of rule of law, difficulties in obtaining financial resources, low rates of introduction of information and communication technologies. The advantages of introducing innovations in the food industry are clarified: increase of labor productivity due to automation of production; improving product quality; expansion of product markets; increasing the competitiveness of products. The main results of innovation implementation are clarified: increase of assortment; improving product quality; preservation and expansion of traditional markets; growth of production capacities, reduction of expenses. The priority tasks of the state regulation of innovative development for the near future are determined: stimulation of innovative activity; improving the system of protection of intellectual property rights; development of the state strategy of innovative development of the food industry; preservation and development of human resources.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present research findings on the relation between internal/external sources of innovation and information and communication technology (ICT) as a supporter/enabler of facilities management (FM) organizations, as well as on the strategic orientation towards open innovation of FM organizations. Design/methodology/approach – This study uses a qualitative research approach. The data collection includes qualitative semi-structured interviews with key FM managers and directors and secondary material such as company brochures, reports and information provided on the participating companies’ websites. Findings – The results show that the FM organizations in the study sample are starting to develop and engage in open FM service innovations, even though they still mostly conduct closed innovation activities. The findings show that FM organizations mostly take an ambidextrous strategic orientation towards FM service innovations, while they also embrace an exploration approach. Concerning the role of ICT in FM service innovations, the study shows that in the explorative organizations, ICT was mostly an enabler, while in the ambidextrous organizations, ICT mostly supported and enabled the innovations in question. Only in two innovation instances was ICT identified as having a utility role. Practical implications – The findings of this study challenge researchers and managers to rethink how and why a strategic orientation towards innovation, the sources of innovation and the role of ICT might affect service innovation in FM organizations. One important implication for FM managers and researchers is the importance that the government might have as an external source in fostering FM service innovations, especially in light of changing environmental requirements, such as energy consumption. FM managers should also consider how they could use ICT to improve and innovate FM services and service delivery and the kind of sources (external/internal) they should use to carry out this task. Originality/value – This paper contributes to the empirical and theoretical understanding of the sources of innovation and ICT as a supporter/enabler, as well as the strategic orientation towards innovation in FM organizations.

Full textAbstract:
The strategy of economic and social development of Ukraine is aimed at introducing an innovative model of structural construction and economic growth. At the same time, the main source of such growth is innovation products, the creation and use of which is the main driving force of the country's economic development. Currently, there are certain problems in Ukraine that hinder the development of innovation activity. These include: - insufficient level of financing of scientific and technical works and associated derivative threats (loss of scientific personnel and intellectual property, inappropriate structure of scientific and technical potential, reduction of innovation activity, etc.); - insufficient level of informational support of innovation sphere; - unsuccessful tax policy of the state in the innovation sphere; - weak development of technology transfer technology. Innovative products become the subject of accounting since the documentary design of its adoption. Externally, such acceptance may have signs of copyright (certificates, etc.). Identification of objects of accounting of innovation activity involves their assessment. Evaluation of innovation projects and programs should be carried out in three directions: 1) evaluation of innovations with a view to their selection (pre-investment stage); 2) accounting (accounting, cost) assessment of innovations (at the moment of innovation attraction and by the end of their period of operation); 3) assessment of the efficiency of innovations (in parallel with the operation of innovations and after the investment stage). Having analyzed the Ukrainian legislation on the accounting evaluation of such an object of accounting as innovation, one can conclude that the regulatory and legal framework is inadequate and inconsistent. The identified shortcomings therefore require improvements in the methodology and practice of accounting for innovation assessment. The assessment should take into account the factors of influence and the specific situations in which the company is located. In our opinion, the assessment of innovations as an object of accounting and analysis should: - to show the quantitative and value value of a specific type of innovation; - to give an assessment from the moment of introduction and for a certain date up to the release of innovative products and the implementation process; - reflect market value and expert assessment for possible implementation through patenting and licensing; - reflect the recoverable cost of innovative projects to be upgraded, reconstructed and improved during operation; - take into account the liquidation value or the cost of the sale; - serve as the basis for conducting an economic evaluation of the innovation process; - to be an institutional basis for the legal services to perform certain activities related to the negotiation of the conditions for the development of innovations, the protection of property rights and the issuance of results by patents; - to provide information on the requirements of statistical accounting, tax and investment regulation, administrative management, etc. The peculiarity of accounting for innovations is their attribution to a particular type of activity. In this connection, there are some problems and inaccuracies. In our opinion, the innovative activity will be classified as operational in the case when the enterprise is experimental and its operational activities involve the introduction of new varieties of plants, animal breeds, etc. Otherwise, the innovation activity will be expressed through investment. The accounting of innovations should reflect the information on income, expenses and the process of development and implementation of innovations at the enterprise, which determines its purpose. To account for innovations, appropriate accounting records should be assigned. However, the current legislation provides for the identification of information only for the cost of research and development. All other information about the innovative state of the enterprise development is reflected in the general accounts of assets, income, expenses, etc. Using common accounts for innovation is not convenient, because information is sparse. In order to overcome this shortcoming, it is expedient to use the information of the accounting of innovation activity. In addition, the amount of innovation costs should be used. For successful construction of the models of accounting for innovations it is necessary to take into account the needs of internal and external users, in particular by changing the forms of both financial and statistical reporting. The results of the research allow us to formulate the following conclusions and suggestions. First of all, the regulatory framework for innovation assessment needs to be improved. It should take into account the peculiarities of the functioning of enterprises. In addition, the urgent issue is the development of methodological recommendations for the accounting of innovations, which will form the basis for the development of the Order on accounting policies in terms of innovation activities of the enterprise. The issue of reporting information about the entity's innovations will need to be resolved, for which it is proposed to use the Report of sources of financing of innovation-investment activity and the Indicator of the amount of innovative expenses. The use of these proposals will improve the accounting of innovations in the enterprise.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to question the conventional wisdom that China fails to produce distinctive innovation; its capabilities limited merely to copying and reverse engineering. The author postulates that the lack of innovation is a delayed activity since China is undergoing a process of building absorptive capacity (AC) as a precursor to innovation. Design/methodology/approach The author probes this question by drawing on the concept of AC, a competence separate from innovativeness and a precursor to it. By drawing on the AC literature three propositions are established. Subsequently, these propositions are examined, in part, with data drawn from 34 interviews conducted in China with CEOs, other senior corporate officers and government officials. In this way, the author explores the challenges to innovating. Findings Thomson Reuters 2015 Top Global Innovators report listed no Chinese company among its top 100 list of innovative companies. The author’s belief, however, favors China to become a source of innovation. A positive tilt derived from both interviews and recent reports published by Bain & Company, Booz and Co as well as McKinsey & Co. This evidences, the author argues, China is acquiring AC, a competence independent of innovation but a necessary antecedent to decoding and deploying the intellectual property in its portfolio. The collective effect of this is that the perception of China as a source of innovative activity will show an uptick when the AC threshold is reached. Research limitations/implications This is a viewpoint paper grounded on an exploratory study. Practical implications Guidance on AC development is valuable to government policy makers promoting innovation in China and those attempting to arbitrage these developments. Similarly, policy makers in competitive nations should also be aware that their innovation-focused industries may need nurturing and bolstering since they may be at risk of being swept away by a tsunami-like innovation wave from China. Originality/value This is an original take on the relationship of AC and innovativeness in China. The author argues that in contrast to the conventional wisdom China has the potential for innovativeness.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to examine the relationship between knowledge stickiness and a firm’s innovation capability in the context of developing countries, i.e., Indonesia. The main research question addressed by this study is: does knowledge stickiness affect a firm’s innovation capability? Using data from 100 small- and medium-sized furniture enterprises (SMEs), the study finds that product innovations are predominant over process and organizational ones. However, incremental innovations are often more preferred than radical ones. This study also finds that the firms absorb knowledge from various sources to undertake innovations. Buyers, Internet, and suppliers are the significant sources, for sensory, coded, and theoretical knowledge. Buyers are also the main source of a great extent of various knowledge domains related to product, process, and organizational innovations. In general, the furniture firms do not pay considerable attention to planning stages when introducing innovations, as indicated by the fact that not all innovations are preceded by initiatives, except for really new processes and organizational innovations whose impact on the firms’ revenue is less visible. Out of four dimensions of knowledge stickiness used in this study, three of them (i.e., knowledge interconnectedness, sensory knowledge, and coded knowledge) are proven to have significant impact on a firm’s innovation capability. We find, knowledge interconnectedness and coded knowledge have a positive impact, while sensory knowledge influences a firm’s innovation capability in a negative direction. All in all, this study provides empirical evidence that knowledge stickiness has a significant impact on a firm’s innovation capability (explains 36% of total variance).

This research looks at the main information sources supporting innovation in the public sector of Kosovo. This study is exploratory and a mixed methodology is used, while the findings are compared and contrasted with the current literature in the field of public sector innovation. Findings clearly indicate that visits to conferences, followed by ideas from management and examples of best practices by other governments were fundamental information sources supporting innovation in the public sector of Kosovo. Another important information source supporting innovation is the use of domestic sources of information and rarely information sources supporting innovation from events or organizations in European Union countries. Although, authors point out that gaining experience from public sector institutions in developed countries contributes in driving or supporting public sector innovation. In spite of that, public sector managers in Kosovo have failed to engage citizens or service users as information sources supporting innovation. The most recent literature provides evidence that citizens or service users knowledge and creativity is of paramount importance in enriching innovation. Henceforth, it is a prerequisite for public sector managers in Kosovo to be aware of the importance of co-creating and co-innovating with its service users.

Full textAbstract:
The article aims at studying the trends in the current state of the innovative activity at Ukrainian enterprises and its financing. The current state of the innovative activity at Ukrainian enterprises is analyzed; the financing of such an activity is explored. Trends in the innovation activities of Ukrainian enterprises during 2015–2019 indicate the presence of significant problems and a low level of innovation development, which, in turn, has a negative impact on product competitiveness and economic development, in general. So, according to the Global Innovation Index-2019, Ukraine ranks 47th among 129 surveyed countries. As for industrial enterprises, only 782 of them are innovatively active, making up 15.8% of their total number. It has been found out that the introduction of innovations in industrial enterprises in Ukraine is slowing down due to the lack of financial resources. The financial resources of enterprises remained the main source for funding innovation during 2015–2019. The role of the state in financing innovation is not significant, so almost the whole financial burden falls on business entities, which naturally hinders the increase in the innovative activity at enterprises. The problems of innovative development of enterprises in Ukraine have been identified and it has been established that the current state of innovation is a consequence of the lack of strategic vision and consistent state policy in transiting Ukraine to an innovative development path. The results of the research carried out shows the necessity of designing the Strategy for innovative activity development till 2030.
