“…The literature on innovation focuses on the sources that allow companies access to the generation of ideas and enable them to develop the innovative potential of products and/or services. These sources also provide contact with external actors as a means of fostering innovation (Blommerde & Lynch, 2014;den Hertog, van der Aa, & de Jong, 2010;Denicolai, Ramirez, & Tidd, 2016;Etzkowitz & Leydesdorff, 1995). These studies tend to argue that the nature of innovation is the generation of ideas (Laursen & Salter, 2006).…”

This article conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) on the relationship between innovation and performance in private companies. The research corpus was based on research protocol systematization. Dissemination of knowledge was examined in two stages: the summary of general corpus characteristics, and the content analysis performed according to the categories that emerged via the study's themes. Relationships among authors, co-citations, keywords, and centrality statistics were identified through algorithms for optimizing standard graph layout. This study discusses the results of this relationship for improving the competitiveness of enterprises. The relationships among the authors of the corpus constitute relationships between isolated groups with little connectivity, low density, and a formation of distinct communities. The categories of analysis emerged in the study themes, as well as the techniques adopted to measure the relationships between innovation and private company performance. In the analyzed studies, innovation initiatives converge. Overall, they contribute to improvements in company performance. In the scientific field, initiatives for developing innovations have enhanced the performance of private companies. A key theoretical contribution of this article is in identifying the research corpus on the relationship between innovation and performance in private companies. The practical contribution of this study lies in offering evidence produced by studies that can help decision making regarding the creation of strategies and policies focused on competitiveness. The differences in the evidence found in the literature highlight the importance of the outcome of this study and indicate the need for future research in an effort to better understand the phenomenon.

“…These countries significantly focused on the capacity of researchers and organizations to promote internal innovations in parallel to the incorporation of externally produced scientific and technological knowledge 47 . As recently, scientific development (manuscripts in indexed journals, doctoral tests, or master's dissertations), coupled with the technological development of products (medicines, vaccines, and diagnostic supplies) in an isolated way, is not beneficial to the society.…”

“…There are several reasons to believe that R&D and information sourcing complement each other. First, in-house capabilities should increase the capacity of firms to source information externally, which in turn will lead to further expanded in-house knowledge capabilities (Denicolai, Ramirez, & Tidd, 2016). Second, it can help to decrease the cost and time of new idea development and enable easier access to the resources required to innovate (Cassiman & Valentini, 2016).…”

This paper analyses the effect of internal R&D and of external sources of information on the innovation performance of Knowledge intensive business services (KIBS). The analysis is based on an establishment-level survey covering the period of 2011–2014 in Canada (Quebec). In order to determine the influence of different external information sources on innovation and the extent to which internal R&D and the use of external information sources are related to innovation, a series of logistic regressions are performed on four different measures of innovation. The results show that KIBS innovation is positively connected to market-related information sources (but not to research and academic sources), that KIBS innovation is positively associated with the performance of R&D, and that there are no synergies associated with the combined performance of R&D and external information gathering: their effects are independent and additive. These results share some similarities, but also some important differences, with those that have been obtained from the study of R&D and external information sourcing in manufacturing establishments.
