We categorized innovating firms in an ascending order as adopters, adapters, and creators to examine factors motivating these activities. For small firms, creation and adaption were significantly correlated with export orientation, engaging in collaborative research and development (R&D), receiving technical support from outside agencies, gaining technology from parent establishments, and supplying parts to multinationals. For medium-sized firms, R&D incentives, collaborative research, and accessing technology from parent plants were significant. Adoption in small firms was associated with export exposure and operating for 11 years or more. R&D incentives, collaborative research, and technology transfer from parent plants were negatively related to adoption in medium-sized firms.

ABSTRACT In 1975, a contract was initiated between the Energy Research and Development Administration (now incorporated into the Department of Energy) and Texas A&I University at Corpus Christi (now Corpus Christi State University) to develop a training program for a broad-based cross section of citizens in oil spill control and cleanup. Development of course materials was completed and the first class held in October 1977; this one week course is presented about 20 times a year at Corpus Christi, Texas. This paper addresses the methods determined to be most efficient to train persons involved in various levels of an organization. Factors which in our experience may influence the effectiveness of this training include: location, methods of presentation, and composition of the class. The final portion of the paper relates these findings to our training program and the response of the students to this learning experience. These concepts may prove useful to management in efficiently allocating their resources so as to provide the highest level of expertise possible. In the final analysis, this should result in better pollution prevention or, when required, reduced costs of spill cleanup.
