“…In this sense, exports enable companies to reach larger markets, providing them with increased opportunities to sell their products and services. Firms that engage in exporting tend to have a stronger focus on innovation compared to their non-exporting counterparts (Li et al 2011). The access to larger markets leads to increased demand, motivating companies to invest in R&D to improve existing products or develop new ones to meet the varied needs of international consumers (Ortigueira-Sánchez et al 2022).…”

This study investigates the fundamental role of collaboration in promoting a culture of continuous innovation in companies, driving them to become serial innovators, as evidenced by their industrial property registrations. Furthermore, it explores, in an innovative way, how various factors, such as the level of technological advancement in the sector, government support for innovation, investments in research and development, the degree of international involvement, and the level of education of employees, influence the probability of a company achieving the status of serial innovator. Based on data extracted from CIS reports spanning from 2012 to 2018, this research employs Logit models to explore the relationship between these variables. The findings clarify the positive impact of collaboration on a company’s ability to sustain innovation over time, thereby establishing itself as a serial innovator. The promotion of collaborative networks and partnerships with external entities, such as partner companies, research institutions, and government organizations, emerges as a powerful strategy for promoting innovation in organizational contexts. Furthermore, the study reveals the critical roles played by public support for innovation, the educational level of the workforce, and investments in R&D in increasing companies’ innovation capabilities. These factors contribute to increasing a company’s propensity for innovation and increasing its likelihood to become a serial innovator. A qualified and educated workforce is known to have the skills and knowledge required to actively engage in innovative activities, thus positioning companies as serial innovators.

The literature presents a review of the current application of lean and green practices and highlights the context, barriers, drivers, tools, and critical success factors and tools for the integration of lean and green practices within the Sub-Saharan African (SSA) manufacturing industry. In addition, the current state, gaps in the existing literature, and future perspectives on the current challenges of the industry have been suggested for the integration of both paradigm and sustainability of the industry. Integration of lean-green provides means to addressing issues faced by manufacturing industries for improved competitiveness. This study demonstrates that the application of lean and green practice is critical to be identified and applied within the region through the analysis of research papers published in both operational and sustainability journals. The findings of this review indicate that the synergy of lean and green practices is an effective initiative for resolving the operational and sustainability challenges of the manufacturing industry within SSA. To achieve operational excellence and mitigate environmental concerns, industries must implement the right tools and consider the critical success factors. By applying appropriate tools and models, the SSA region can address the current challenges and achieve a reduction in cost significantly.

“…Innovation lies at the heart of progress, enabling societies to tackle pressing challenges, create new opportunities, and drive economic growth. However, the realization of innovative ideas requires a supportive environment that fosters creativity, encourages risk-taking, and provides the necessary resources and infrastructure [1,2]. In recognition of these requirements, governments across the globe have increasingly recognized the value of public support for innovation, aiming to cultivate a fertile ground for groundbreaking discoveries and technological breakthroughs [3,4].…”

“…By identifying these gaps, governments can strategically allocate support to companies engaged in areas such as renewable energy, healthcare, or emerging technologies, where the long-term societal benefits exceed immediate market returns. In doing so, public support acts as a catalyst, spurring private-sector involvement and advancing innovation in domains where market forces alone falter [2,3].…”

“…However, despite these efforts, companies encounter notable challenges when seeking public support for innovation, including bureaucratic hurdles, complex application processes, and uncertainties surrounding funding availability and allocation [10][11][12]. Addressing these barriers is crucial to maximizing the impact of public-support initiatives and unleashing the full potential of innovation across sectors and regions [1][2][3].…”

Innovation has emerged as the key driver of economic growth, technological advancement, and societal well-being. Recognizing the significance of fostering innovation, governments and policymakers worldwide have increasingly emphasized the need for public support to bolster the innovation ecosystem. This article explores the crucial importance of public support for innovation and delves into the characteristics of companies that receive such support. Based on the Community Innovation Survey of 2014, 2016, and 2018, information was compiled from 1857 companies. Of these companies, common to these 6 years of information, 755 received national support for innovation and 490 received European support. Based on these data, the main objective was to identify and distinguish the characteristics of Portuguese companies that receive European support and national support for innovation. To achieve this objective, logit models were estimated using Stata software. The results suggest that national support favors companies that belong to sectors with greater technological development, which develop new products and processes. Companies that establish cooperation agreements and that belong to groups of companies are also preferred for national support. In turn, of the companies that received European support, it appears that there is less differentiation in preference for the level of technological development. Companies that invest internally in R&D and that establish cooperation agreements for innovation are more likely to obtain European support, as are companies that have a higher proportion of workers with higher education. Finally, both national and European support favor companies with a greater volume of business from foreign markets.
