“…A number of earlier studies have also verified the proposition that the degree of competitive rivalry and R&D are positively connected (e.g. Geroski, 1990;Raider, 1998). Moreover, our results suggest that this relationship is not verified in the case of subsamples of medium-and low-technology industries.…”

Regional Heterogeneity and Firms’ Innovation: The Role of Regional Factors in Industrial R&D in India

This study makes an early attempt to estimate the magnitude and intensity of manufacturing firms' R&D by Indian states during the period 1991-2008 and analyses the role of regional factors on firm-level R&D activities. As there is little research on state-wise R&D performance of firms in India, this study serves an important contribution to the academic and policy realm. It has brought out the fact the total manufacturing R&D investment in India is unevenly distributed regionally with a few states accounting for disproportionate share of it. Regional heterogeneity or inter-state disparities in R&D has increased between the 1990s and the first decade of the twenty-first century. In view of this persistent regional heterogeneity in R&D, the study has developed and estimated an empirical model for a sample of 4545 Indian manufacturing firms with R&D facilities located in single state and that explicitly includes regional factors as probable factors affecting R&D. The three-step Censored Quantitle Regression results confirm that regional factors play an important role in shaping the R&D intensity of the sample of firms. This led us to some useful policy suggestions for regional governments to promote local firms' R&D activities.

“…Changes in a market's condition offer firms more opportunities to innovate and fulfil unmet demands (Nemet, 2009). Both domestic and foreign healthy market competition are important to drive market efficiency and business productivity by allowing efficient firms, producing demanded products and services, to survive and flourish (Abernathy & Clark, 1985;Raider, 1998). Further, Loury (1979, p. 397) argues that a firm competes in the marketplace to have a continuous flow of rewards that is "available only to the first firm that introduces innovation".…”

“…This may positively influence local innovation (Lorenzoni, Russo, and Ferriani 2010). Industries differ too both in their technological and innovation intensity and the extent of knowledge diffusion (Raider 1998). Finally, network characteristics, and firms' individual position within any given network, will also contribute to shaping innovation potential (Grabher 2001;Massard 2011;Oerlemans, Meeus, and Boekema 1998).…”

In this conceptual paper, we develop a framework which identifies those elements of firms' knowledge context which are important for innovation, and the mechanisms through which that knowledge impacts on firms' innovation performance. We make four main contributions to the existing literature. First, our characterisation of knowledge context provides the basis for a more specific identification of which elements of firms' knowledge environment are important for innovation, discriminating between spatial, sectoral and network influences. Second, we reflect the role of innovation ambition in shaping firms' knowledge search strategies. Third, we differentiate between firms' interactive and non-interactive knowledge search activities and recognise that these may be complemented by unanticipated and serendipitous knowledge spillovers. Finally, we employ the notion of encoding capacity to reflect firms' internal ability to assimilate and apply external knowledge, and clarify its distinctiveness from the more general concept of absorptive capacity. Our framework provides an integrating mechanism for existing empirical studies, and suggests a number of new research directions related to the determinants of innovation performance and the heterogeneity of innovation outcomes.
