Product and process innovation in manufacturing firms: a 30-year bibliometric analysis

It is also indicative of one of the key factors that impact countries' international competitiveness, productivity, output, and employment performance (Asheim and Isaksen, 1997).…”

Entrepreneurship culture, total factor productivity growth and technical progress: Patterns of convergence towards the technological frontier

“…The factors. Some works, like Engelbrecht (1997), among others, suggest that there may be significant feedback during growth between human capital and stock of ideas, either in domestic innovation or in the adoption of technology spillovers, not captured with the formal R&D sector.

Global Idea Sourcing - an Empirical Investigation into the Mechanisms Behind the Usage of Foreign Business Sources for Innovation
