“…Analysis of factors influencing the innovation process carried out in works [12,13,16,18], the evaluation of the relationship between innovation and socio-economic development, made in the works [1,10,14,15,24,34], have identified the following indicators selected to assess the effectiveness of the proposed approach. As a resource indicator, the GII relative value was chosen, which, as mentioned above, determines the potency of the country in terms of innovative development.…”

The purpose of this study is to make an attempt to assess the innovation activity on the achieved result , expressed in indicators that determine the socioeconomic level of country development, as it is the purpose of innovation In the applied method of calculating the evaluation of the effectiveness of innovation (Data environment Analysis) these indicators were the results, while the indicators of innovation were considered as a "resource". Rental indicators, Gini index and others , reflecting (directly or indirectly) the result of innovations was also taken into account. The results showed values that were less inconsistent with the estimates for other related indexes and indicators , while the evaluation with existing methods gave more inaccurate results. This suggests that the proposed method gives a more objective assessment of the innovation level in the country and more accurately determines the country 's place in the world ranking. The main source of the world economy development today is the innovation, an integrated assessment of which on a national scale can itself act as an indicator of the level of economic and — in a broader sense — the socio-economic level of the country development . From this point of view, an objective assessment of the innovation development level, as well as the development and proposal of methods for its evaluation are still relevant. Up-to-date assessment methods mainly assess the potential of countries to develop innovations, while their achieved level should be assessed, since, with significant differences in the development of countries , these potential opportunities can be realized to varying degrees.

“…The aim of this paper is to depict a complete picture of a cultural trait's influence on firm's innovation activities by investigating both exploratory and exploitative stages. This delineation of innovation activities may help to explain some of the inconsistencies and mixed findings found in the literature linking cultural traits to innovation (Efrat, 2014;Prim et al, 2017;Soares et al, 2007).…”

“…Furthermore, with the exception of Melnyk, Giarratana and Torres (2014), extant research takes a static approach as it relies on cross-sectional data (Nam et al, 2014;Prim et al, 2017;Shane et al, 1995), which limits our understanding of how firms, from different national cultures, may differ in how they update their innovation management decisions over time. To address this research gap, this study uses panel data to establish the relationships between a firm's uncertainty avoidance index (UAI), and its explorative (number of product innovations) and exploitative (brand trademark protection) innovation activities, as well as the performance consequences of these activities in terms of a firm's brand and financial performance.…”

Uncertainty Avoidance and the Exploration-Exploitation Trade-off AbstractPurpose -This study investigates how a firm's uncertainty avoidance -as indicated by the headquarters' national culture -impacts firm performance by affecting exploratory (product innovation) and exploitative (brand trademark protection) activities. It aims to show that firms characterized by high levels of uncertainty avoidance may be less competitive in the exploratory product development stage, but may be more competitive in the exploitative commercialization stage by producing more durable brands. Findings -Results show that uncertainty avoidance lowers the rate of product innovation, but helps firms to appropriate more value by greater protection of their brands. Uncertainty avoidance thus creates an exploration-exploitation trade-off.Practical Implications -This study provides useful insights for managers regarding where to locate a firm's front-end development (product innovation) activities and commercialization (brand trademarking protection) activities.Originality/value -This is the first study to demonstrate the influence of a cultural trait on both explorative and exploitative stages simultaneously. As a methodological contribution, it shows how objective, longitudinal brand trademark data can be used to analyze the long-term impact of marketing activities on firm performance.

“…In 2007, the INSEAD Business School, Cornell University, and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) developed the GII to evaluate the level of innovative potential in national socioeconomic systems and to support the development of policies and practices that stimulate innovation. The use of this particular index as a measure of national innovation capability has been recognized in the recent innovation literature (Al-Sudairi et al, 2014;Crespo & Crespo, 2016;Jackson et al, 2016;Sohn et al, 2016;Prim et al, 2017). The GII depends on two sub-indices, each one developed on several enablers.…”

It has been recognized that innovation drives the long-run economic growth of nations and increasingly governments are placing innovation at the center of their economic growth strategies. International variation in the investment on innovation presents an opportunity to examine key enablers of innovation-driving policy choices. Countries find themselves at different stages of economic development and innovation performance and so their relative levels of innovation inputs and outputs are likely to be different. In this study we employ a systems of innovation approach to examine what enables improvements in innovation potential among developed countries. Using data from the 2017 Global Innovation Index (GII) Report, we subjected 770 data measures to an analysis of 242 relationships involving changes in the GII’s innovation inputs/outputs scores and overall innovation potential of 35 OECD countries over a five year period (2012 to 2016). Our findings suggest that instituting policies that improve access to open and competitive markets is the most significant enabler for raising a developed country’s innovation potential.
