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.

Motivated by differences in the intensity of innovation across national economies, this paper presents an empirical examination of the determinants of a firm's likelihood to invest in different innovation intensity levels in both France and Croatia which represent developed and developing countries, respectively. We used a theoretical framework, which considers the firm's characteristics, internal strategic behaviours and external strategic features, to guide an empirical exploration into the determinants of innovation performance across two countries. The comparison between results from France and Croatia indicates that the incentives of the innovation activities differ between two countries mainly due to a firm's characteristics (size) and external strategic features (export and firm performance). On the other hand, firm's internal strategic behaviours (quality strategy, environmental strategy, R&D and training) have the same role in innovation performance improvement in both developed and developing countries. Consequently, we conclude that managers of firms should customise strategies which aim to improve innovation performance according to the specificities of national economies.

PurposeThe study aims to examine the military-connected firms' risk preference, specifically in the innovation intensity level context. The authors argue that firms with military-experienced top management have conservative and risk-averse behavior, influencing the innovation investment policy.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use nonfinancial Indonesian-listed firms from 2010 to 2018 amounted to 2,504 firm-year observations.FindingsThe authors document a negative relationship between military connection with both innovation activities and outputs. The additional analysis documents that risk-preferences of military-connected firms will be drastically changed when the industry has a high digital level, which confirms that risk-averse military-experienced management is less dominant with adaptation skill. The authors also identify that veterans did not need a long tenure to influence firms' innovation investment policy. Lastly, the result is robust due to various endogeneity tests employed.Originality/valueThis study further examines military-connected firms' technological innovation compared to prior studies and enriches the related literature.

The paper analyzes the innovation intensity and adoption characteristics at the base of the pyramid market. The innovation intensity is configured as radical and incremental, while the innovation adoption is configured as early and tardy. As an empirical approach it was conducted a study type survey. Data analysis is based on non-parametric statistics. The results indicate that the base of the pyramid consumers is characterized by adopting incremental innovations tardily, as pointed out by the literature. Furthermore, it was also observed that women have greater decision-making power in the families of this segment.

Firms incur technological innovation costs to create and retain competitive advantages on market. It seems reasonable that innovation process performance depends on amount of costs on it. According to Structure – Conduct – Performance paradigm this dependency means that firms conduct influence on market performance. But this link is much more nuanced because there is a significant influence of features of industries in which firms operate. In Russia technological innovation costs lead to a high results in some industries and in other of them this link is weak like innovation intensity.

In this chapter, we study services and their unique characteristics. We focus on characteristics of services, such as intangibility, immateriality; invisibility; perishability; temporary existence, sensitivity on time; non storability; inseparability; lack of inventory; sensibility of quality control; high degree of risk or difficulty in experimentation; no return possibility at un-satisfaction; customisation requirements; different distribution channels; and no rivalry. We also analyse the relations between exports, investments in development and innovation activities of Slovene business services sectors in two statistically different periods (2002-2008 and 2010-2016). A two-step approach to examine the firms’ performance in the selected business non-financial services sectors was applied. First, we used Simple Probit model, and in the second step, Simultaneous Probit model was used. The preliminary results suggest that the investment in R&D activities encourages export behaviour and that the export behaviour encourages investment in R&D activities.

New Evidence

This paper mainly verifies whether the national innovation driving force (NIDF) can effectively promote the high-quality development (HQD) of the service industry. Specifically, the authors calculated the NIDF index, and tested the influence of NIDF and its internal indices on the domestic value-added ratio (DVAR) of export in the service industry. Besides, the innovation intensity of the service industry was measured to analyzed the heterogeneity of the industry. The empirical results show that: Stronger NIDF can significantly elevate the export DVAR of the service industry, promoting the HQD of that industry. Among the dimensions of NIDF, institutional innovation has relatively great positive impact on the HQD of the service industry. Moreover, the influence of NIDF on a sector of the service industry varies with the innovation intensity of the sector. The research results provide new evidence for the promoting effect of innovation on the HQD of the service industry.

The Relationship

Abstract We examine the link between firm resources and firm innovation intensity, especially the drivers of innovation and organizational slack. We extend the organizational slack and innovation literature by examining its interplay with CEO power and industry level constraints on that power. We examine the influence of human resource slack, CEO power, and industry concentration on R&D intensity. Our study examines all publicly traded US firms over a 10-year period, giving us over 13,400 firm years to look at. Our results indicate that organizations with excess human capacity do on average show higher investments in R&D. However, we also find that in concentrated industries, where CEOs are less constrained by competitive pressure, powerful CEOs do interfere in this strategic choice and weaken the slack–innovation relationship. Even though CEO's in these situations may have sufficient slack resources, they appear inclined to reallocate such resources to purposes other than innovation.
