Objectives: Reimbursement decisions on new medicines require an assessment of their value. In Austria, when applying for reimbursement of new medicines, pharmaceutical companies are also obliged to submit forecasts of future sales. We systematically examined the accuracy of these pharmaceutical sales forecasts and hence the usefulness of these forecasts for reimbursement evaluations. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed reimbursement applications of 102 new drugs submitted between 2005 and 2014, which were accepted for reimbursement outside of hospitals, and for which actual reimbursed sales were available for at least 3 years. The main outcome variable was the accuracy ratio, defined as the ratio of forecasted sales submitted by pharmaceutical companies when applying for reimbursement to actual sales from reimbursement data. Results: The median accuracy ratio [95% confidence interval] was 1.33 [1.03; 1.74, range 0.15–37.5], corresponding to a median overestimation of actual sales by 33%. Forecasts of actual sales for 55.9% of all examined products either overestimated actual sales by more than 100% or underestimated them by more than 50%. The accuracy of sales forecasts did not show systematic change over the analyzed decade nor was it discernibly influenced by reimbursement status (restricted or unrestricted), the degree of therapeutic benefit, or the therapeutic area of the pharmaceutical product. Sales forecasts of drugs with a higher degree of innovation and those within a dynamic market tended to be slightly more accurate. Conclusions: The majority of sales forecasts provided by applicants for reimbursement evaluations in Austria were highly inaccurate and were on average too optimistic. This is in line with published results for other jurisdictions and highlights the need for caution when using such forecasts for reimbursement procedures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose – This study aims to measure the degree of innovation of micro and small industrial companies in the West and Southwest metropolitan regions of the city of São Paulo, through a survey with 203 firms in the metallurgy sector. Design/methodology/approach – The research had a quantitative and descriptive focus and used as methodology the validated and international approach known as Innovation Radar. Findings – The degree of innovation in these micro and small companies is low; thus, the authors could not characterize them as systemic innovators. Most of them are little innovative, although some were classified as occasional innovators. The dimensions organization, processes, presence, supply chain and added value were the least developed. Research limitations/implications – To carry out similar studies in other Brazilian regions, to compare results and draw new conclusions, or even check if the degree of innovation present in micro-firms of these regions would not be even lower; to monitor the evolution of companies through a longitudinal study, to detect improvements in the degree of innovation; and to conduct a qualitative research that can deepen questions on the results of our study, such as the reasons why this type of company does not adopt innovative practices, or even the real suitability of the Innovation Radar model for micro and small enterprises (MSEs). We observed that some dimensions proved to be too sophisticated for these companies, such as R&D investments and the adoption of technological advances. Practical implications – The study shows that the degree of innovation measured by the Innovation Radar is a useful and initial measure to check an innovative attitude in micro and small companies. It can also drive the actions that should be prioritized to stimulate the culture of innovation in SME. However, it does not allow to answer why this type of organization does not adopt innovative practices as a management attitude. Regarding its contribution, the authors expect that the paper may bring an awareness of managers and owners of micro and small companies for the need to foster innovative practices that can help increase the competitiveness and survival of this type of organization. Social implications – In Brazil, despite the fact that MSEs represent 98 per cent of the existing companies, and are mainly responsible for job creation, their leaders have a low concern for innovative practices. Originality/value – The study contributes to identify the degree of innovation of these firms, which comprise a representative and strategic segment of the city’s economy, by checking to what extent an innovative attitude is effectively present in this sector. The theoretical contribution of this study regards the appropriateness of mechanisms or methodologies created to measure the degree of innovation in large organizations. Dimensions such as technological platform, brand, innovative ambience, degree of organization or systematization of processes, which are frequently considered for companies in general, and especially for large ones, are not sufficient or, instead, too sophisticated to allow an effective measurement of the degree of innovation in MSE. Thus, this study provides information for designing more effective ways to evaluate the degree of innovation that take into account MSE’s specificities, which can be considered innovation efforts, such as simple process improvements, professional development of teams, and actions to seize ideas and opportunities, among others.

Objective: This article reviews the empirical findings directly or indirectly linking Entrepreneurial Orientation to Innovation Intensity in the period 2008-2018. It also investigates the fuzzy concept of Innovation Intensity and suggests some research avenues in the future. Research Design & Methods: The research method is based on critical and synthetic literature review. In a three-steps process, relevant papers were identified and classified. These samples were then analyzed and put into a perspective of the explaining then linking the concepts of Entrepreneurial Orientation and Innovation Intensity. Based on that, recommendations for future research are presented. Findings: Although many studies insinuate a positive relationship between Entrepreneurial Orientation and Innovation Intensity, there is no empirical research specifically targeting this link. The main reason seems to be a lack of clarity around the concept of “Intensity” itself. Contribution & Value Added: This study introduces a conceptualization of Innovation Intensity based studying the extant literature. Furthermore, it is good starting point for scholars interested in clarifying the concept of Innovation Intensity or/and determining the nature of relationship linking this latter and Entrepreneurial Orientation.

Innovation represents the search for the new that allows organisations to increase their competitiveness and face market competition. Although they have fewer resources and smaller capacities, small businesses have a number of advantages that enable the innovation process. Therefore, it is necessary to gain a greater understanding on the stage of innovation in small firms and on how the aspects of management influence their development and are useful for such organisations. In this sense, the present paper analyses the determinants of organisational management that influence the degree of innovation of small firms in the gastronomic segment. The sample of the study counted on data compilation of 67 small gastronomic firms of a northeastern state capital in Brazil collected during almost two years. The determinants of innovation were identified through the theoretical framework composed of leadership; strategies; customers; society; information and knowledge; people; processes and results. The degree of innovation was measured from the degree of sectorial innovation achieved by the innovation radar. The proposed relationships were analysed by means of multiple regression with panel data, in which the degree of innovation was the dependent variable of the model and the determinants of innovation were the independent variables. The results demonstrate that the degree of innovation is influenced mainly by the internal processes that the company develops and by the results that it achieves. On the contrary, it was verified that the regulatory aspects that the firms attend can inhibit the development of innovation. The results reinforce the importance of organisational management for the development of innovation in small business, presenting the facilities and the obstacles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although numerous studies show that cooperation relates strongly to obtaining benefits in business innovation, few researchers have considered the role of competition in this relationship. Nevertheless, it is expected that firms can boost their innovation if they cooperate with competitors and with intermediaries. The aim of this study was to observe whether coopeting firms achieve high degrees of innovation. To accomplish this aim, we used a sample of innovative firms from the region of Valencia (Spain). The chosen region has specific structural characteristics, which are discussed later. Although the sampled firms compete with one another, they also collaborate with each other and with intermediaries (i.e., technology centres and local universities). Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) tested propositions established in the conceptual framework. Results show that when competing firms collaborate (i.e., when they 'coopete'), they are able to increase their degree of innovation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Patent intermediaries have gained importance as non-practicing entities in the innovation domain, buying innovations from an external provider and then licensing them to practicing firms. In this study, we analyze the competition between two identical incumbent firms and a patent intermediary for the acquisition and licensing of a cost-reducing innovation developed by an external innovator. We show that the outcome of the IP acquisition and licensing game critically depends on the degree of the cost-reducing innovation. Patent intermediaries win IP rights in patent markets if the innovation is incremental. They also win the IP rights when the innovation is moderate or radical, providing they have significant efficiency advantages over incumbent firms and the uncertainty about the degree of innovation is low. We also show that patent intermediaries serve to make markets more efficient. When the innovation is incremental or moderate, they help ensure a lower cost of production and a lower price for customers, and when the innovation is radical, they help increase the profits of the incumbent firms.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of innovation on growth in established SMEs, by comparing growth outcome, strategic orientation (type of offering and geographical market), and to what extent growth challenges are expressed in terms of innovation between more and less innovative firms. Results indicate that the relationship between innovation activities and economic performance are not immediately linked. It is also observed that the strategic orientation does not differentiate high-innovators from low-innovators. While some high-innovation companies provide products and services successfully on a local market, in close proximity with demanding customers, it is also observed that low-innovation companies reach out internationally, exploiting old innovations, today mainly incrementally refining product and supporting processes. The paper contributes with new insights into the growth challenges of established SMEs, and with a more multi-faceted picture of innovation management for company growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The construction sector has a large share of the Brazilian GDP and labor market, and with the unfavorable economic scenario, the importance of public policies of science, technology and innovation by universities and companies increases. Most companies in the sector are micro and small with low innovative level. In this context, the present work aims to measure the degree of innovation of civil construction offices in the conurbate of Crajubar, which includes the municipalities of Crato, Juazeiro do Norte de Barbalha. The research characterized as exploratory and qualitative, sought to know and qualify the offices of the sub-region and measure their degree of innovation. The innovation survey was used, based on the model proposed by Sawhney, Wolcott and Arroniz (2006), the Innovation Radar that uses twelve dimensions, areas where the company can insert innovations and detect possible points of improvement, this tool was complemented by Bachmann and Destefani (2008) with the innovative ambience dimension. The results show an average degree of innovation of 2.99, indicating an incipient and uninnovative stage of innovation. Offices tend to apply innovations in certain dimensions, needing to be expanded in the system more broadly, remaining competitive in the market. El sector de la construcción tiene una gran parte del PIB brasileño y del mercado laboral, y con el escenario económico desfavorable, aumenta la importancia de las políticas públicas de ciencia, tecnología e innovación por parte de universidades y empresas. La mayoría de las empresas del sector son micro y pequeñas con bajo nivel innovador. En este contexto, la presente obra tiene como objetivo medir el grado de innovación de las oficinas de construcción civil en la congestión de Crajubar, que incluye a los municipios de Crato, Juazeiro do Norte de Barbalha. La investigación caracterizada como exploratoria y cualitativa, buscó conocer y calificar las oficinas de la subregión y medir su grado de innovación. La encuesta de innovación se utilizó, sobre la base del modelo propuesto por Sawhney, Wolcott y Arroniz (2006), el Radar de Innovación que utiliza doce dimensiones, áreas donde la empresa puede insertar innovaciones y detectar posibles puntos de mejora, esta herramienta fue complementada por Bachmann y Destefani (2008) con la dimensión ambiental innovadora. Los resultados muestran un grado medio de innovación de 2.99, lo que indica una etapa incipiente y poco innovadora de innovación. Las oficinas tienden a aplicar innovaciones en determinadas dimensiones, que necesitan ampliarse en el sistema de manera más amplia, siendo competitivas en el mercado. O setor da construção civil apresenta grande parcela do PIB e do mercado de trabalho brasileiro, e com o cenário econômico desfavorável, aumenta-se a importância de políticas públicas de ciência, tecnologia e inovação por parte das universidades e empresas. A maioria das empresas do setor são de micro e pequeno porte com baixo nível inovativa. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho visa mensurar o grau de inovação de escritórios do ramo da construção civil na conurbação do Crajubar, no qual englobam os municípios de Crato, Juazeiro do Norte de Barbalha. A pesquisa caracterizada como exploratória e qualitativa, buscou conhecer e qualificar os escritórios da sub-região e medir o seu grau de inovação.

- Abstract
In politics and business the special role of innovative businesses whose research and development activities expedite technological progress has received steady attention. Especially small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) have initiated promising innovation projects. However, when analysing these projects our research must take into account that SMEs cannot be viewed as a homogeneous business category. Moreover, financing their innovations, SMEs are subject to unique issues. To shed light on these problems, this study will develop an index measuring degrees of innovation. It allows the 171 sample companies to be categorised into three groups: non-innovative, moderately innovative or highly innovative. A multinomial logistic regression is used to examine the quality of this typology. In addition, group-specific differences in the financing mix are demonstrated. Finally, from a theoretical point of view, the implications of the pecking order theory are basically validated. On the other hand, the concept of the financial growth cycle does not deliver satisfactory results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Selling new products is a major success factor, particularly in today’s fast changing environment. Surprisingly, existing insights on the role of the sales force adoption as a key antecedent of customer’s innovation adoption consistently focus on the salespeople’s perspective. This study, however, examines the effect of the sales force adoption on the customer’s innovation adoption, by looking at it from a customer’s point of view. By analyzing objectively validated survey responses about an industrial innovation from salesperson-visited business customers, the authors provide insights into the effect of customers’ perceived salesperson adoption on the customer’s innovation adoption. Surprisingly, findings show that the customers’ attitudinal adoption of an innovation is negatively driven by their perception of salesperson’s effort. Results also reveal that a high number of competing products in the same market reduce the chance of a salesperson perceived as highly committed to sell a highly-innovative product

- Abstract
'Innovation' is a broad term and often mingled with other meanings. The diverse understanding of the term 'innovation' may be due to different research goals, but may also be caused by the nature of the inter disciplinary research field of innovation management. Therefore, literature proves a plethora of definitions concerning the term innovation. In order to build a broad picture of innovation and its antecedents, the term 'innovation' will be integrated into a framework. In the framework definitions are arranged according to an input-output view, where the various perspectives of innovation are highlighted. Furthermore, terms like imitation and invention are delimitated to innovation. In the end the paper suggests an integrative definition of 'innovation'. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

O estudo objetiva investigar a relação entre o grau de intangibilidade, definido com base nas informações contábeis, e o grau de inovação em empresas inovadoras no Brasil, medido pelo Índice Brasil de Inovação (IBI), procurando descobrir os efeitos do reconhecimento do ativo intangível no patrimônio dessas empresas. Trata-se de pesquisa descritiva, de natureza qualitativa, realizada por meio de análise documental. Os dados secundários das empresas – demonstrações financeiras padronizadas (DFP) e as informações necessárias para o cálculo do valor de mercado (quantidade de ações multiplicada pelo valor de cada ação) dos anos 2007, 2008 e 2009 – foram levantados no portal eletrônico da BM&F Bovespa, possibilitando a mensuração do índice de investimentos em ativos intangíveis (IIAI) e do grau de intangibilidade (GI). Os resultados revelam que (i) os intangíveis goodwill, software, marcas e patentes, em termos de frequência, e os intangíveis goodwill, concessões, software e P&D de produto, em termos de representatividade, são os mais significativos das empresas pesquisadas; (ii) as empresas de setores mais inovadores apresentam os maiores IIAIs, evidenciando que canalizaram mais investimentos para os intangíveis se comparados às empresas dos grupos setoriais menos inovadores; (iii) em 2009, o valor médio de mercado das empresas inovadoras supera o dobro do valor do seu capital próprio, sendo a diferença atribuída aos seus intangíveis; e (iv) com base na análise do ranking das dez empresas de maiores GIs e das dez de menores GIs não se pode identificar qualquer relação entre o GI e o grau de inovação nas empresas pesquisadas. This study aims at investigating the relationship between the degree of intangibility, whose definition is based on accounting information, and the degree of innovation in innovating Brazilian companies, measured by the “Índice Brasil de Inovação (IBI)” – Brazil Innovation Index – in order to discover the effects of the recognition of intangible assets in these companies’ assets. It is a descriptive research of a qualitative nature achieved through documental analysis. The secondary data – Standardized Financial Demonstrations (SFD) which provides necessary information for calculating the market value (number of shares multiplied by value of each share) in years 2007, 2008, and 2009 – were collected in the BM&F Bovespa website. This made it possible to measure the index of investments in intangible assets (IIAI) and the degree of intangibility (ID). Results have revealed that: (i) intangibles, such as goodwill, software, trademarks, and patents, in terms of frequency, and intangibles such as goodwill, concessions, software, and Product P&D, in terms of representativeness, are the most significant in the surveyed companies; (ii) companies in more innovative sectors displayed greater IIAIs, which is evidence that these companies channeled more investment on intangibles when compared to companies in less innovative sectors; (iii) in 2009, the average market value of innovative companies more than doubled its own capital value, and this difference was attributed to their intangibles; and, (iv) based on analysis of the ranking of 10 companies with the highest IDs and 10 companies with the lowest IDs, it is not possible to identify any relation between ID and the degree of innovation in surveyed companies.
