“…The food and beverage sector is of essential social and economic importance in Brazil, accounting for 10% of the national GDP and 20% of the manufacturing industry's GDP. However, the sector still presents intrinsic weaknesses in technology and innovation, defined as new products, processes or services, which are of recognized importance to maintaining competitive advantage and satisfying consumer needs (Menrad, 2004).…”

Resumo: A Indústria Brasileira de Alimentos e Bebidas (IAB) tem uma forte importância social e econômica no cenário nacional, e a tecnologia tem papel fundamental em sua competitividade. Ao estudar aspectos da dinâmica Abstract:The Brazilian food and beverage industry is of great social and economic importance to the nation, and technology represents a key factor for competitiveness in the sector. Learning about the past and recent technological dynamics of this industry enables the identification of trends and perspectives that enhance its competitiveness. Based on indicators from the Industrial Survey of Technological Innovation (Pesquisa Industrial de Inovação Tecnológica -PINTEC), the present paper discusses the technological and innovative dynamics of the Brazilian food and beverage sector between 2000 and 2011. In general, new technology within the sector has been incorporated rather than created. Enterprise investment in R&D is still low and the sector's technology strategy is mostly imitative. However, this period presented positive dynamization of technological efforts, with the primary goal of increasing productive efficiency and effectiveness, but with additional goals of reducing environmental impacts and meeting regulatory standards.

“…large vs. small firms) (e.g. Beckeman et al, 2013;Purcarea et al, 2013;Gronum et al, 2012;Köhler et al, 2012;Zeng et al, 2010;Tödtling et al, 2009;Beckeman and Skjöldebrand, 2007;Knudsen, 2007;Nieto and Santamaría, 2007;Amara and Landry, 2005;Menrad, 2004). The idea of open innovation comes from the observation that "by enlarging your 'research organization' you may be able to tap into a much larger pool of ideas and find such ideas faster than if you limit yourself to the traditional, closed innovation model" (Torkkeli et.…”

This paper investigates the innovation performance in the Hungarian food chain using the concept of open innovation. Empirical analysis is based on the data from a 2014 survey of more than 300 small-and medium sized agricultural producers, food processors and food retailers. We analyse innovation performance taking into account not only the direct impacts of external knowledge inflows and absorptive capacity, but also the indirect effect of external knowledge inflows mediated by the existence of potentially complementary internal resources (absorptive capacity). We determine the impact of open innovation and a company's absorptive capacity on innovation performance employing two stage approaches. First, we apply a semi-non parametric probit model. Second, we run cluster analysis to categorise companies based on their open innovation, absorptive capacity, firm and managerial characteristics.

This article aims to assess whether these subsidies have contributed to higher economic efficiency of enterprises. The impact of investment grants to economic indicators (sales, debt ratio, labour productivity and production consumption) is evaluated. 35 dairy enterprises that drew investment grants, were analyzed in total. According to the results, grants from national sources have a greater impact on the economy of businesses. National subsidies improve labour productivity, sales and production consumption. Impacts of subsidies drawn from the Rural Development Programme are less noticeable. These subsidies affect only the production consumption by its decreasing. The market situation in 2008 and 2009 also influenced the rated indicators.
