“…For example, Lin et al (2011) explored the agglomeration effects on productivity of firms in textile industry and found an inverted-U type effect, which implies that net positive impact is more than offset by diseconomies after certain point. Yang, Lin, and Li (2013) reported that the agglomeration of production contributes to productivity of electronics firms while the agglomeration of R&D activities has negative impact. However, not only the scope of those studies is confined to specific industries, they are based on the above-scale survey data which does not capture the clustering of smaller firms.…”

“…It is difficult to provide further details with regard to the results obtained, given that we are not aware of any studies that have looked at the impact of R&D for the disaggregated set of industries included in this study (and specially transport equipment). Others have positive results for sectors like electronics (e.g., Yang et al 2013), or overall across all industries (e.g., Liao et al 2012). This study also finds positive spillover effects (see below) through agglomeration and diversification, and these effects are likely to be (at least in part) associated with knowledge spillovers (and therefore linked to R&D).…”

“…Political affiliation refers to the fact that firms are affiliated (have a lishu relationship) with the central, provincial, and local governments (Li 2004;Tan et al 2007;Xia et al 2009). A 1 There have been a number of studies that consider productivity in specific sectors, such as electronics (Yang et al 2013;Yang et al 2010) and iron and steel (Sheng and Song 2013). These studies typically estimate TFP using growth accounting methods, or the Olley-Pakes methodology, with TFP being first estimated and then regressed on a set of (limited) covariates.…”

Abstract Using a large firm-level dataset, this paper examines total factor productivity (TFP) and its determinants in China. Our preferred GMM estimation results indicate increasing returns to scale in most industries and a usually large positive trend representing technical change.Various firm characteristics such as age, ownership, political affiliation, export behavior, liquidity, and geographic location are included in the production function. Our results show that in the context of China's institutional background, including such factors is important when estimating TFP. The average TFP growth in Chinese industries is 9.6 % per annum during the period 1998-2007, and is mainly driven by firm entry. The subsector decomposition exercises show that the inter-firm resource reallocations are more prominent across industries than across provinces.

“…Regarding the principles of management, the main organizational parameters that allow companies to respond to the market situations, are the following: compliance with legislation of the product inherent to each of the specific markets regarding new products or services development, manufacturing and commercialization [37]; product standardization that permits conformity with international rules and internal flexibility, facilitating modularization processes [38,39]; certification [39]; the agility of performance [40], connected with lean thinking [41,42] in the search for maximum efficiency, effectiveness and productivity [43].…”

Proposal of a Holistic Framework to Support Sustainability of New Product Innovation Processes

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The survival of companies in globalized and highly competitive markets, heavily depends on their ability to innovate through the creation of new products and/or services, supported by sustainable processes to prevent business failure. There are many factors regarding the interface company/stakeholders/market at all hierarchical levels, which have a major contribution to sustain innovation in processes regarding the creation of new products and services. A holistic approach of all these factors, as a whole, has not been a subject of scientific research conducting to the necessity of creating a proposal of a framework that can be integrated and systemic. Thus, this paper aims to propose a functional holistic model, which integrates the strategic, organizational and operational levels regarding market business and company interaction, as well as the set of factors to take into account to guarantee assurance that innovative processes are sustained, when new products and/or services are created or improved. Conducted through an investigation of the state of the art, by literature review, a comprehensive and integrated conceptual model was built in a deductive-inductive way. Then, the conceptual model was validated through four case studies. Finally, it was found that the conceptual framework became functional, because its applicability has been successfully tested in a business environment. As a result, the tool developed here, can be useful to measure and evaluate projects dedicated to companies that innovate in a sustainable way.Sustainability 2020, 12, 3450 2 of 18 complexity and turbulence, according to [2,6]. So, the shortening of the available time to manage projects with both efficiently and effectively, is a very important issue to be taken in account by managers, especially when they concern relating to products and services of radical innovative nature [7]. According to [6], companies should manage their projects in a proactive, structured and sustainable way, to survive and succeed in such competitive markets, and for that, sharing knowledge through collaborative networks is crucial [8], taking in account all possible variables and parameters that have influence in the strategic, organizational and operational hierarchical levels of companies [9]. This finding is extremely important regarding new products and services that emerge of innovative projects and their sustainable implementation, which requires an increasing rational and holistic approach [10]. It is extremely challenging for companies the development of successful sustainable innovative processes to create new products or services, and for that the path that involves generation of new ideas is crucial. New idea generation occurs normally in the beginning of sustainable innovation processes to generate new products and services. So, this point is especially important, since it determines companies potential to undertake promising new product and service ideas at reasonable costs. In contexts where resources are constrained, creativity seems to be ...
