Description
Springer Innovation And Firm Performance by Peters B.
The process of firms' growth - in terms of productivity or employment - is a major concern of policy makers. In this context, innovations are considered to play a crucial role in stimulating firms' performance. This book investigates this general hypothesis by looking at three topics: 1. Does innovation lead to an increase in employment growth? 2. Does innovation boost labour productivity? 3. Does innovation in one period improve innovation performance in subsequent periods?
