The estimation results show that the determinants of … absorptive capacity differ with respect to the type of knowledge absorbed for innovation activities. In particular we find that …

Firms without research and development (R&D) have frequently been neglected by mainstream innovation research. The … that non-R&D-performing firms show a “typical”, homogeneous innovation pattern. Oliver Som challenges this assumption … innovation patterns of non-R&D-performers. The findings impressively underline the need for future innovation research …

In this paper we carefully link knowledge flows to and from a firm's innovation process with this firm's investment … results indicate that firms with small budgets for innovation will not invest in basic research. This occurs in the short run …
