This study provides new evidence on factors driving firms´ eco innovation in the European Union, based on the data of the Community Innovation Survey for the years 2008 and 2014 for eleven European countries. First, our findings reveal that the propensity to eco-innovate changes over time. Second, the propensity to eco-innovate is unequally distrib...

Las políticas públicas dirigidas a promover los ecosistemas regionales de innovación han evolucionado durante los últimos años hacia un nuevo enfoque más participativo y colaborativo, tanto en el ámbito estatal como europeo.

Las empresas necesitan abrirse en muchas ocasiones a la colaboración con diversos ac- tores para llevar a cabo sus proyectos de innovación y, a la vez, deben contar con mecanismos para prevenir posibles fugas indeseadas de conocimiento que dificultarían la apropiación de los benefi- cios en la fase de comercialización. Aunque resultados recientes m...

Despite the potential of hydrogen as a sustainable energy carrier, existing studies analysing the recent evolution of this technology are scattered, typically focusing on a specific type of hydrogen technology within a single country or region. In this paper, we adopt a broader perspective, providing an overview of the evolution of knowledge genera...

Este documento pretende contribuir al debate que existe en torno a la metodología utilizada en el Regional Innovation Scoreboard (RIS) a partir del empleo de índices sintéticos. En el trabajo se desarrollan tres nuevas perspectivas con el fin de ofrecer planteamientos alternativos de este tablero para el conjunto de las regiones europeas en materia...

This report aims to contribute to the debate on the methodology used in the Regional Innovation Scoreboard (RIS) based on the use of synthetic indices. The report develops three new perspectives in order to offer alternative approaches to this scoreboard for the European regions as a whole in terms of innovation: 1.

Intellectual Capital Management (ICM) research has focused predominantly on demonstrating the link between ICM and innovative performance from a general, context-free perspective. This paper analyses deeper implications of ICM showing the inadequacy of this one-size-fits-all approach, and introduces a more realistic view of the role of ICM on innov...

Design/methodology/approach The link between four types of management practices and labor productivity at the firm level is tested through a sample of 13,566 small firms from...

This paper provides the main policy highlights of the OECD report on “Enhancing Productivity in SMEs” The paper is structured as follows. First, it briefly presents estimates on productivity gaps by firm size to show that, while SMEs are on average less productive than large companies, productivity gaps change significantly depending on the specifi...

El desarrollo del sistema español de innovación depende, además de la capacidad de producción científica, de la transferencia de conocimiento entre ciencia y empresa. Pese a los avances recientes, el vínculo universidad-empresa es todavía poco eficiente y persisten serias barreras a la colaboración en ambos sentidos. Este documento propone diez rec...

Over the last decade we have witnessed an unprecedented growth in the number of cross-border R&D investments towards large emerging countries such as China and India. However, small middle-income countries have played a marginal role as recipients of R&D-related FDI despite increasing policy efforts. In particular, several Latin American countries...

Collaboration between foreign subsidiaries and universities is relevant for multinational companies (MNCs) that aim at absorbing knowledge from abroad, as well as for universities and policy-makers attempting to maximize the spillovers associated with foreign direct investment (FDI). In this paper, we explore how MNCs collaborate with universities...

Most analysis of intellectual capital try to identify the role of variables related to the stock or flow of intangible assets in explaining innovation output. The problem of these models is that innovation output is usually measured as innovation performance (e.g. profits from innovation), which is the result not only of choice but also of success....
