Title: | Knowledge, innovation and competitiveness: Dynamics of firms, networks, regions and institutions | Authors: | TIRI, Marc PEETERS, Ludo SWINNEN, Gilbert |
Issue Date: | 2006 | Source: | DRUID Summer Conference 2006, Copenhagen, June 18 - 20, 2006 | Abstract: | This paper presents the results from a multivariate (factor and cluster) analysis of the variation in innovation processes of manufacturing and service firms. Using data from the third Community Innovation Survey for Flanders (Belgium), a set of seven clusters of firms that are to be interpreted as “innovation patterns” or innovation strategies” is identified. Two major findings emerge: (i) the “sectoral determinism” of innovation does not hold true for Flemish firms; (ii) firms in the service industry seem to form a separate,“low-profile” innovation cluster. In conclusion, we point to some important implications for the design of adequate innovation-policy measures. | Keywords: | innovation patterns; (non)technological innovation; services; manufacturing; CIS-3; firm-level data | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/18204 | Category: | C2 | Type: | Conference Material |
