“…This is different from what is found in IISs (e.g. Europe) where process innovation is aligned with non-technological innovation (commercial and organizational) in that they are based on user-producer interactions and learning-by-doing and by-using (Hervás-Oliver, Sempere-Ripollo, and Boronat-Moll 2021; Parrilli, Balavac, and Radicic 2020). In the UK EIS, universities and research centres are likely to connect directly with firms and SMEs to generate impact on both product and process innovation with no need for intermediate organizations to step in to promote such collaboration.…”

“…The importance of SME collaborations changes when we consider coefficients and confidence intervals. We observe that the nature of innovation matters as the drivers that mostly influence product innovation differ from those that impact on process innovation (Parrilli, Balavac, and Radicic 2020). Collaborations with universities tend to be Table 2.…”

“…In the UK LME, Lee and Miozzo (2019) made a more specific study on the service sector and focused on KIBS where they found different trends depending on what type of KIBS is involved; while R&D services are sensitive to STI drivers, legal and marketing services depend on DUI drivers. In any case, this outcome is significantly different from IISs in CMEs where services rely primarily on DUI drivers (Parrilli, Balavac, and Radicic 2020). As a consequence, we would expect the service industry to respond to soft drivers based on interaction with clients and other complementary agents (e.g.…”

“…Within this literature, there is scope for research that identifies new drivers of innovation across SMEs. Some studies have highlighted the context-specificity of business innovation modes (Jensen et al 2007;Parrilli, Fitjar-Dahl, and Rodriguez-Pose 2016;Parrilli, Balavac, and Radicic 2020), while other studies have taken a global approach to firms across large geographies . However, the critical differentiation between LMEs (e.g.…”

“…Abreu et al (2010) have shown that services tend to depend on soft drivers, such as the capacity to assist customers pre-and post-sale. Therefore, taking on a 'demarcation approach' (Cainelli, De Marchi, and Grandinetti 2020), they rely on DUI interactive drivers more than on STI factors (Parrilli, Balavac, and Radicic 2020).…”

This study focuses on the collaboration patterns that small firms hold with other agents within liberal market economies and identifies the collaborative drivers that in this context deliver a superior impact on innovation output measured by product and process innovations. To explore this research question, the study combines the literature on innovation systems with a growing literature on business innovation modes that studies whether businesses are driven by science and technology factors (STI), or experience-based factors such as learning-by-doing, by-using and by-interacting (DUI). In the UK liberal market economy, universities and research centres are expected to play a critical role for innovation well beyond the typical impact they produce in coordinated market economies. This hypothesis is largely verified through our empirical evidence. Methodologically, this research is developed through the application of propensity score matching in the context of the UK longitudinal small business survey (LSBS) for 2015.

The study explores the influence of contextual factors surrounding production planning and green strategic investment decision‐making practices (GSIDMP) in UK companies. We utilize a mixed‐method approach as a research methodology to study the current trend of production planning and GSIDMP. This study's conceptual model is rooted conspicuously in the resource‐based theory (RBT), natural‐resource‐based view, and dynamic capabilities. We empirically examine the nexus among GSIDMP, technological innovation, dynamic capability, and companies' performance. Our study was based on a sample selected from UK‐listed companies, FTSE ALL‐Share Index for the period (2012–2021). Also, the study utilizes data from the UK Innovation Survey (2018–2020) and corporate disclosure through companies' annual reports as a complementary approach for data collection. Findings of this study explore the interdependencies among company dynamic capability, advanced technological innovation and governance mechanisms, and their mediation influence on the nexus between GSIDMP and companies' performance. This study sheds lights on current business innovation strategies. Findings reveal how current practices of production planning and GSIDM in large UK companies shaped by boardrooms absorptive and adaptive capabilities, knowledge‐generating and knowledge‐collaboration capabilities, technological adoption, and corporate governance mechanisms. This study offers insight regarding boardrooms proactive engagement in exploration and exploitation activities to strengthen ambidexterity through various innovation trajectories associated with green production and GSIDMP towards sustainability. We provide managerial implications for decision‐makers, regulators, investors, scholars, and other stakeholders.

Firm innovation is a complex and multidimensional process that is affected by internal and external factors. Companies and governments have traditionally tried to promote in‐house innovation by promoting research and development investment. In an economy characterized by a large percentage of small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises and continuous change toward digital and green transition, many companies struggle to innovate because of their lack of resources, knowledge, or capabilities. In this context, the external links and networks that materialize through active engagement in innovation activities with market and institutional agents are key, and analyzing cooperation for innovation is essential to obtain an overview to promote innovation. This study contributes to the understanding of (1) the drivers in innovative companies that lead to cooperation with external agents for innovation; (2) the relative importance of these drivers for cooperation; (3) the extent to which the eco‐innovation orientation of a company affects its engagement in collaborations with other stakeholders; and (4) an understanding of the differences in the cooperation drivers according to the type of collaborator (institutional, market, or both). Using data from the Spanish Technological Innovation Panel and machine‐learning techniques, we confirm the importance of internal and external factors, namely public financing, the environmental and social orientation of innovation, and the commitment to innovation. This research also reveals the asymmetric impact of many of the cooperation drivers, and that company cooperation with both market and institutional agents leads to higher innovation performance. The findings have important implications for policymakers and practitioners.
