Investigating the sources of process innovation among UK manufacturing firms
Abstract
Although it retains a central position in the main theories of innovation, there are few studies that examine the factors that provide inducements for process innovation at the firm level. Using a large scale survey of UK manufacturing firms, we explore different explanations for why firms develop process innovations. Contrasting the sources of incremental and radical process innovation, our study indicates that there may be complementarities between them. We also find that firm size, the presence of formal research and development, and the use of suppliers as a source of knowledge all increase the chances that a firm will be a process innovator. This article discusses the implications of these results for future theoretical and empirical studies of the innovation process.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
