Die Bedeutung des Servicegeschäfts in Industrieunternehmen nimmt kontinuierlich zu. Gerade in wettbewerbsintensiven Märkten verschiebt sich das Gewicht der Serviceleistungen zu Lasten des Kernproduktes. Um ambitionierte Umsatz- und Ertragsziele im Service zu erreichen, ist das Portfolio an...

The purpose of this paper is to propose a service development process that is adapted to manufacturing companies and to discuss its implication for companies with a focus on product development and product sales. This paper looks at new service development (NSD) literature and argues for design...

This paper analyzes empirically the effects of innovation on employment at the firm level using a uniquely long panel dataset of German manufacturing firms. The overall effect of innovations on employment often remains unclear in theoretical contributions due to reverse effects. We distinguish...

Substantial elements of innovation have been observable during recent years in rig supply, in particular regarding contracts and organisation. This trend has been driven by the fact that rising costs over many years have put profitability under pressure. On the basis of theory and available...

This paper evaluates how different lengths of entry regulation impact market structure and market performance using a dynamic structural model. We formulate an oligopoly model in the tradition of Ericson and Pakes (1995) and allow entry costs to vary over time. Firms have the opportunity to...

This paper introduces dynamics in the R&D to innovation and innovation to productivity relationships, which have mostly been estimated on cross-sectional data. It considers four nonlinear dynamic simultaneous equations models that include individual effects and idiosyncratic errors correlated...

In this study we use a survey data on 398 Finnish manufacturing firms for the years 2002 and 2005 to empirically explore whether and which organizational factors explain why certain firms produce larger innovative research output than others, and whether the incentives to innovate that certain...

Recent research has underscored the prominent role played by a small fraction of fast-growing new firms in contributing to aggregate net employment growth. While it is typically assumed that those firms experience this superior performance thanks to their ability in undertaking technological...
