“…Firms in the third group were the most successful ones, as they were bigger, both in terms of revenues and number of employees. They also exported more -an indicator that they were more competitive in the international market (Azar & Ciabuschi, 2016;Rodil, Vence, & Sánchez, 2014) it is also based on the complementary assumption that internationalization pushes firms to increase innovation performance (learning-by-exporting hypothesis.…”

Firms are increasingly engaging in alliance portfolios/networks -AP/Nets -to leverage their innovation performance -IP -and thus boost their competitiveness. Most studies, with a few exceptions especially from emerging countries, found a positive relationship between AP/Net and IP, depending on portfolio characteristics and firm absorptive capacity -AC. This article undertakes an empirical investigation of the AP/Net -IP relationship and AC´s potentially moderating role in this relationship in an emerging country: Brazil. Statistical testing of hypotheses regarding these relationships, and AC´s role, corroborated the exceptions. However, it confirmed how important it is that firms in an emerging country ensure a high level of AC to mitigate the negative effects of AP/Net diversity on IP. Some managerial and policy implications were also formulated.

“…Though, there are some publications devoted to the assessment of the influence of other variables on country's export. For example, Rodil et al (2016) analyze the influence of different variables concerning innovation and structural characteristics on the export behavior of Spanish firms. As in our study, obtained results show a positive link between innovation and export activities, though the influence of selected indicators on export behavior of firms was different.…”

The paper is devoted to estimation of impact of selected economic indicators (gross regional product per capita, foreign direct investment per capita, and the average monthly nominal wage of the regular employee) on export of goods per capita of regions of Ukraine. It is based on the data of State Statistics Service of Ukraine for 2010-2015. The prepared regression model confirms that all above-mentioned indicators have a positive impact on export trade activities at a regional level of the country. Though, the level of influence of the indicators on export of goods per capita is different. The results of the paper show that the impact of foreign direct investment on export activities was not statistically significant. Gross regional product positively affects this indicator. The lowest influence on the export of goods per capita is observed for the average monthly nominal wage of the regular employee. JEL classification:F10.

“…Innovation at firm level is a widely discussed topic in the literature, especially in recent years when there is growing concern of the world economy toward the knowledge economy (Chen et al, 2014;Choi et al, 2012;Rodil et al, 2015). Innovation at firm level can be defined in various ways, but the most popular definition is based on OECD (2005) which classifies two kinds of innovation: product innovation and process innovation.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate the simultaneous relationship among ownership concentration, innovation and firm performance of the small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam during the 2011-2015. By employing a Conditional Mixed Process (CMP) model, the findings show that: there is no impact of ownership concentration on innovation, but it has a positive impact on sales growth; innovation positively affects firm performance; and there exists a positively reverse causality from sales growth to innovation. Design/methodology/approach -In this study, the authors propose the adaption of CMP model (Roodman, 2011). The nature of the first stage dependent variable -Innovationis a binary one while the dependent variable Performance is continuous. Therefore, a model that can adapt the binary nature of the dependent variable and perform the estimation of a system of equations such as CMP model is preferred. The CMP framework is substantially that of seemingly unrelated regression, but with application in a larger scope. This approach is based on a "simulated maximum likelihood method" suggested by Geweke-Hajivassiliou-Keane algorithm. Findings -By applying CMP method, this study examines the simultaneous relationship among ownership concentration, innovation and firm performance of the SMEs in Vietnam from 2011 to 2015. The findings indicate that: there is no impact of ownership concentration on innovation, but it has a positive impact on sales growth; innovation positively affects firm performance; and there exists a positively reverse causality from sales growth to innovation. Research limitations/implications -In spite of the efforts to explore the simultaneous relationship among ownership concentration, innovation and firm performance of the SMEs in Vietnam, the study still has some limitations which are promising further research directions. First, the SME surveys by Central Institute for Economic Management do not have much information about other types of ownership including state-owned and foreign ownership. Therefore, possible further studies with richer data sets may explore the impacts of different types of ownership on firm innovation and performance. Second, other types of innovation such as organizational innovation, marketing innovation can also be investigated in further studies in a richer data set for the case of Vietnam SMEs. Originality/value -The findings show that: there is no impact of ownership concentration on innovation, but it has a positive impact on sales growth; innovation positively affects firm performance; and there exists a positively reverse causality from sales growth to innovation. The policy implications insist on facilitating SMEs with easier access to capital via loans with preferred interest or trust loans without collateral, training programs for the labor force and SME leaders, and reduction of unnecessary administrative procedure.
