“…For example, the biggest companies implementing process and organizational innovations are more prone to increase their productivity. By contrast, younger firms are more prone to implement process and organizational innovations to increase their productivity than older ones (Del Carpio Gallegos & Seclen-Luna, 2022), particularly companies with R&D (Table 5).…”

“…This may be due to the development of economies of scale and scope in the production of knowledge (Crespi & Zúñiga, 2012), although, in some cases, their R&D productivity is negative (Tsai, Hsieh, & Hultink, 2011). In any case, Chudnovsky et al (2006) pointed out that internal R&D and technology acquisition expenditures enhance the probability of product or process innovation, which in turn attain higher productivity levels than non-innovators, even in low-tech industries (Del Carpio Gallegos & Seclen-Luna, 2022). Thus, based on these arguments, we propose the following hypothesis:…”

Purpose This paper aims to study whether Peruvian manufacturing firms that implement innovation have positive performance and whether R&D activities moderate these relationships. Design/methodology/approach Using a data set of Peruvian manufacturing firms from the 2018 National Survey of Innovation, a LOGIT model analysis was applied to 774 companies. In addition, the authors fitted different models into subsamples to explore the moderating effects of R&D on manufacturing firms. Finally, the regression models were computed using R software. Findings The results indicate that product, service and marketing innovation are associated positively with an increase in market share, while process and organizational innovations are associated positively with productivity. Moreover, companies with R&D are more productivity-oriented than companies without R&D. Research limitations/implications This study contributes to the literature on innovation management by supporting the assumption that innovation results in increased productivity and expands market demand. In addition, findings highlight that R&D is essential for boosting firms’ productivity. Practical implications Managers should consider an appropriate combination of the innovation portfolio and R&D investments to make progress and increase performance in the company. In addition, policymakers should consider that investments to promote the development of R&D activities in manufacturing companies will likely lead to médium- or long-term returns. Social implications The correct use of indicators to measure these relationships could help the policymaker to design and measure policy instruments more efficiently. Originality/value These results provide a deeper understanding of how the effects of innovations implemented by manufacturing firms, especially service and process innovation, improve their performance.

“…In addition, on the study conducted by Nami, (2022) which states that through professional development courses promotes teachers' pedagogical knowledge by providing them opportunities for reflection and practice course preparation. Further, in the other study conducted, in the emerging economy in education, technological innovation can be used to incorporate different strategies in teaching practice, thus further improving teachers teaching performance and in order to become competent teachers, they must be familiar with and apply all the necessary pedagogical skills for teaching with technological knowledge, (Gallegos et al, 2022;Tondeur et al, 2019).…”

The study determined the stress, techno-pedagogical skills, and quality of life among faculty of a local university in Laguna. Descriptive correlational research design was employed. The study revealed that the faculty of a local university has a high-level stress along pandemic stress and job-related stress; very high level of techno-pedagogical skills along content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and technological knowledge; and have maintained satisfactory quality of life along physical health, psychological well-being, social relationships, and environmental factors. The study revealed that there was no significant association between level of stress and techno-pedagogical skills. However, there was a significant connection noted between level of stress and quality of life, on most of its domains. Lastly, the level of techno-pedagogical skills among faculty can be equated with better quality of life, that the higher the level of techno-pedagogical skills the more satisfied with their quality of life. Essentially, the results yield worthwhile implications to faculty of a local university. Similarly, in managing stress, maintaining their level of techno-pedagogical skills that will assist them in becoming more content and satisfied with many aspects of quality of life.

The aim of this paper is analysing the relationships between sources (internal/external) of information and innovation outcomes (product, service and process) in Peruvian companies. Furthermore, we explore differences and similarities in these relationships when comparing manufacturing firms and knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) firms. This study presents evidence based on the application of a logit model to a sample of 1141 Peruvian companies, comprising 830 manufacturing firms and 311 KIBS firms. Despite the fact that Peruvian companies do not tend to turn to external sources of information or invest in internal R&D activities, we find positive relationships between sources of information and innovation outcomes in both manufacturing firms and KIBS firms—predominantly process innovation in both cases, followed by product (goods) innovation for manufacturing firms and service innovation for KIBS. Our findings indicate that not all external sources of information have positive effects on product, service and process innovation. Thus, managers should consider proper management of the company’s external relations in order to take advantage of these relationships. Moreover, policymakers should promote interrelationships between the actors in the innovation system (e.g., companies, research centres, universities, etc.) thereby generating opportunities for innovation. This paper provides evidence that the configuration of sources of information (especially internal R&D) plays a significant role in innovation outcomes in both manufacturing firms and KIBS firms, specifically in the context of Latin American countries.
