“…The matching of the patent stock to the firms is achieved by comparison of company names and addresses. Certainly, this rather technical innovation indicator does not fully capture the various forms of innovation in the service industries and scholars have meanwhile developed more appropriate indicators in this regard (Schmoch and Gauch 2009;Gotsch and Hipp 2012). However, service providers use standardization mainly for technology-related innovation activities (Wakke et al 2012) so that we regard patents as an appropriate indicator for innovation within our sample.…”

The impact of participation within formal standardization on firm performance

Several studies highlight the economic benefits of standards, while the benefit of taking part in standardization remains a rather unexplored mystery to date. In theory, standard setters not only benefit from the possibility to monitor and shape the development of standards but also access a wide range of knowledge sources in the standards committee. Therefore, we investigate how the participation within formal standardization is related to the performance of 1561 German companies. A Cobb-Douglas production function is estimated in order to use the Solow-residuals as indicator for the firm performance. Participation within formal standardization is measured by the number of committee seats at the German Institute for Standardization (DIN). Our results suggest that participation within formal standardization is positively related to firm performance in the manufacturing sector. In the service sector, no clear evidence for such a relationship is found. This finding also holds true when we test if a service providers' intellectual property is well protected through patents.

“…With the exception of sectors linked to information technology and R&D, the success of innovation is not directly linked to R&D activities: indeed, KIBS generally dedicate fewer resources to R&D than manufacturers (Miles 2008). Some authors even point out the need for revising the definition of research and development in the light of the specificities of services (Djellal et al 2003;Gallaher and Petrusa 2006;Gotsch and Hipp 2012;Hipp and Grupp 2005). Second, a crucial element to KIBS innovation is technology acquisition (Tether 2005;Miles 2008).…”

“…Finally, due to its intangible nature, innovation in services is more difficult to protect. Services are therefore more likely to use alternative methods to patents, such as trademarks (Cho et al 2012;Gotsch and Hipp 2012).…”

Innovation strategies, innovator types and openness: a study of KIBS firms in Spain

This paper studies the determinants of innovation strategies in knowledge-intensive business services, by examining the relationship between these strategies and two dimensions of innovativeness: the type of innovator (internal, collaborative or external) and the degree of openness (reliance on internal or external information sources). First, we describe the characteristics of innovator types and their degree of openness. Second, we investigate the extent to which different innovation strategies-determined by examining innovation expenditures and cooperation in innovation-are associated with different innovator types and with different degrees of openness. The data used in this paper are part of the Technological Innovation Panel carried out by the Spanish National Institute of Statistics. The results obtained show that innovation strategies do not lead in any mechanical way to a higher or lower degree of openness. The recognition of the importance that external knowledge can have for innovation is not incompatible with the existence of firms that prefer to rely mainly on their internal capacities to innovate. However, it seems that when firms decide to cooperate for innovation, they are more likely to innovate collaboratively than in isolation.

“…O entendimento de que a inovação é vista como um processo, compreendendo, portanto, outros aspectos das organizações, bem como de variáveis externas e que levem em conta o ambiente onde estão inseridas, reflete-se na ocorrência de termos como "knowledge" (Blankley & Booyens, 2010;Hollenstein, 2003;Porter, 2005;Rongdi & Jun, 2011;Schmoch & Gauch, 2009), "human capital" (de Brito Cruz & Mello, 2006Gates & Langevin, 2010;Joiozo & Teles, 2011), "intellectual property" (Czarnitzki & Kraft, 2004;Gotsch & Hipp, 2012;INSEAD & Karabell, 2012) e "education" (Johnson & Chuang, 2010;Joiozo & Teles, 2011;Leydesdorff, 2004;Muresan & Gogu, 2012), que sugerem abordagens onde o fator humano e o conhecimento são levados em consideração na mensuração da inovação. Frascati é uma proposta que contem as definições básicas e categorias das atividades de P&D, tendo sido aceitas por pesquisadores do mundo todo.…”

RESUMOA gestão da inovação mostra-se um desafio para as organizações na busca pela competitividade. Ao implementar um processo de gestão, tão importante quanto explicitar o modelo estratégico da inovação, é a capacidade de mensuração do que se deseja gerenciar. O uso de indicadores e índices de inovação permite, portanto, a verificação do desempenho de organizações ou regiões em separado ou em comparação com outras. A definição de indicadores de inovação não é, portanto, uma tarefa trivial, e diversas são ferramentas utilizadas, tais como estatísticas de patentes e P&D. Este trabalho apresenta uma revisão bibliométrica com o propósito mapear a produção científica relativa ao tema indicadores de inovação, identificando autores, obras e fontes de publicação mais relevantes. Para isso, foram analisados 107 trabalhos científicos que abordam o referido tema, escritos por 209 autores pertencentes a 115 instituições de 35 países diferentes. Os resultados mostram que a primeira publicação encontrada data do ano de 1973, mas o número de publicações mostra uma tendência de crescimento com o tempo e predominam as publicações em journals e a Europa é a região com maior número de autores, seguida da China, Brasil e Estados Unidos.
