“…From a practitioner perspective, this means the adoption of new products and/or processes to increase competitiveness and overall profitability, based on customer needs and requirements (Zahra et al, 1999;Mone et al, 1998). The role of innovation and its importance as a driver of competitiveness, profitability and productivity is well documented in the literature (Porter, 1998;Senge and Carstedt, 2001;McEvily et al, 2004).…”

In search of the drivers of high growth in manufacturing SMEs

Though considerable attention in the extant literature has been devoted to growth and performance of firms, there is a dearth of research on high growth firms. Furthermore, the majority of literature in this area focuses on large firms while research on high growth small firms is underdeveloped. This paper investigates the drivers of high growth in manufacturing SMEs. Following a number of focus group interviews with six managing directors of manufacturing firms, a number of drivers of high growth were identified and investigated in a sample of 207 manufacturing SMEs. The results of this study indicate that high growth firms place a greater emphasis on external drivers such as strategic orientation, their operating environment and the use of e-commerce compared with firms having static or declining sales. The analysis shows that high growth firms compete largely on the basis of price. While high growth firms have increased their sales by over 30% during the past three years or longer, it is questionable if manufacturing firms can sustain their competitive advantage without recourse to greater research and development, and innovation in the longer term.

“…Innovation is considered both a key determinant of a nation's competitiveness (Schumpeter 1942;Penrose, 1959;Hall & Soskice, 2001) and a key determinant of firm performance (Mone, McKinley & Barker, 1998) There are many loose applications of the term 'innovation', sometimes considered as creativity, knowledge, or change. For this research we will consider that innovation is both a process and an outcome and is related to the production, adoption, assimilation or exploitation of a valueadded novelty either at macro (country) or micro (organization and firm) level.…”

Abstract:Purpose: The studies on links between sustainability, innovation, and competitiveness have been mainly focused at organizational and business level. The purpose of this research is to investigate if there is a correlation between these three variables at country level. Using international well recognized rankings of countries sustainability, innovation, and competitiveness, correlation analysis was performed allowing for the conclusion that there are indeed high correlations (and possible relationships) between the three variables at country level.Design/methodology/approach: Sustainability, innovation, and competitiveness literature were reviewed identifying a lack of studies examining these three variables at country level. Findings: The results of the correlation analysis using Pearson correlation coefficient (all correlation coefficients are greater than 0.73) give a strong support to the conclusion that there is indeed a high correlation (and a possible relationship) between social sustainability, innovation and competitiveness at country level. Research limitations/implications:Further research is advisable to better understand the factors that contribute to the presented results and to establish a global paradigm linking these three main constructs (social sustainability, innovation, and competitiveness). Some authors consider that these measurements are not fully supported (e.g. due to different countries standards), however, it is assumed these differing underlying methodological approaches, by being used in conjunction, can be considered as a set of reliable and useful performance indicators. Practical implications:The results highlight the simultaneous relationship between social sustainability, innovation and competitiveness superior performance and the need to take that these considerations into business and operating models. Social implications:This research suggests that sustainability and innovation policies, strategies and practices are relevant for countries competitiveness and should be promoted particularly in countries ranked low on sustainability and innovation global scoring indexes.Originality/value: This is one of the few studies addressing the relationships between sustainability, innovation and competitiveness at country level.

“…Muitos são os autores (TUSHMAN;O'REILLY, 1996;MONE;MCKINLEY;BARKER, 1998;DESS;PICKEN, 2000) que estabelecem uma relação positiva entre a capacidade de inovação e o desempenho das empresas. E, nesse contexto, conhecer as demandas tecnológicas é um fator importante para que as organizações possam fazer um levantamento das suas necessidades de inovação (DAGNINO; THOMAS; DAVYT, 1996;ZAWISLAK, 1996;ZAWISLAK;DAGNINO, 1997;ZAWISLAK;FRACASSO;NASCIMENTO, 1998;FREITAS FILHO, 1999;BEZERRA;BURSZTYN, 2000;RUFFONI;ZAWISLAK, 2000;CASTRO, 2002;DIAS, 2007;DAGNINO, 2007), além de colaborar para a orientação de políticas e linhas de pesquisas (BEZERRA; BURSZTYN, 2000;DIAS, 2007;DAGNINO, 2007).…”

RESUMOEste trabalho apresenta um levantamento de artigos que abordam o tema demandas tecnológicas. O estudo foi conduzido por meio de uma análise cientométrica com o objetivo de identificar os principais autores e instituições que discutem o tema, assim como as principais categorias, palavraschave, a evolução temporal dos artigos publicados, as principais referências citadas, além das redes de colaboração de instituições e coautoria. Os procedimentos realizados foram: (1) definição do termo de busca mais adequado para a extração dos dados relativos a demandas tecnológicas; (2) extração de dados na base Web of Science (WoS); (3) limpeza e organização dos dados de ano de publicação, categorias Web of Science, autoria, instituições de afiliação, palavras-chave e referências citadas; (4) seleção dos dados referentes a artigos publicados em periódicos, excluindo os demais registros; (5) análise da produção científica. Foram analisados 246 artigos do período de 1968 a 2013. Os principais resultados mostram que o tema ainda não está consolidado. O número máximo de registros por autor limita-se a dois artigos, e quase 50% dos registros contam com autores afiliados a apenas uma instituição. Por outro lado, destaca-se um crescente interesse pelo tema com base no aumento do número de publicações ao longo dos anos.Palavras-chave: Perfil de pesquisa. Cientometria.
