| Tiivistelmä: | Based on data from the Fourth UK Community Innovation Survey, this study explores the diffusion of a range of innovative activities (e.g. product,..., marketing,..., management and strategic innovations) across over 16,000 British companies in 2004. Building on a simple theoretical model, it is shown that the usage of each innovation correlates with the usage of all other innovations. It is shown that the set of innovations can be summarized by two multi-innovation factors, called herein as 'organizational' and 'technological', being complements but not substitutes for each other. Identified are three clusters of firms where intensity of use of the two sets of innovations is below average (56.9 percent of the sample), intermediate but above average (23.7 percent), and highly above average (19.4 percent). It is found that distinctive characteristics are common to the companies in each cluster. To the end, innovativeness is shown to have persistence over time. |
