| Tiivistelmä: | The study analyzes the effect that external sources of knowledge and absorptive capacity exert on a firm's output innovation. In addition examined is the moderating influence of absorptive capacity on the effect that technological opportunities have on output innovation. Empirical research was carried out on a sample of 91 Spanish firms from the ceramic tile industry. Absorptive capacity is operationalized by 'systematic or continuous R&D' and output innovation by 'percentage of sales from new products'. Technological opportunities are divided into several industry and non-industry related variables. The results show among others the positive effect that both the industry's technological opportunities and a systematic approach to R&D exert on output innovation. |
