Do you know any research which looked at innovation in this way: Company’s innovativeness from two perspectives, internal and external factors?

04 April 2014 4 10K Report

Any developed standpoint of categorizing company’s innovation evolution process into external and internal paradigm?

Do you know any research looking at innovation from this two main perspective (internal and external) somehow try to distinguish the factors that encourage or hamper innovation? For example R&D expenditure as an internal factor encourage the innovation or maybe competitiveness may encourage innovation as an external factor.

Hi Arash:

My co-authors and I are looking at the high-tech life cycle and both internal and external effects during the various stages of the life-cycle. Because high-tech is relatively faster and more turbulent in the market life-cycle, it’s perhaps easier to look at what is happening both internally and externally. Below are some links and publications that may help you. Dr. KopIyay and I also have two papers for the ISERC Conference in Montreal this June that I can post once we get the final papers completed.

Hi, I looked at internal and external innovation factors within my PhD. First, I compared the external factors of two countries (data from Summary innovation Index, Global competitiveness Index). The small differences on external factors (i.e. "innovation conditions") then let me believe the internal factors within two countries are not significantly different - this was then tested on my own data. Perhaps, an idea for your research...

Check out this paper. It identifies about 80 factors (internal and external). the categories presented and their classification enable the prediction of innovative behaviour and compare innovativeness across (actors, firms, countries contingent on your sample size, he target population and levels of aggregation).
