Do High Technology Acquirers Become More Innovative (2010, background): “Although we acknowledge that both R&D expenditure and patents are subject to numerous limitations as innovation indicators (see Kleinknecht et al., 2002), combining R&D and patent data allows the creation of composite constructs that do relatively well in capturing the innovation performance of…”
What turns knowledge into innovative products? The role of entrepreneurship and knowledge spillovers (2009, positive): “…can be measured in many ways: by the turnover of new products, increases in productivity or decreases in production cost as a result of introducing new processes, or customer satisfaction with new products or services (for overviews, see Hauser and Zettelmeyer 1997; Kleinknecht et al. 2002).”
Flexible labor and innovation performance : Evidence from longitudinal firm-level data (2010, methodology): “The output indicator used in this paper does not seem to have such a bias (Kleinknecht et al., 2002).”
Innovation success of non-R&D-performers: substituting technology by management in SMEs (2009, neutral): “Measures of innovative output such as patents or sales with new products, which are typically used in empirical studies on innovation success (see Kleinknecht et al. 2002 ), do not fully meet these requirements.”
Noncompensatory/nonlinear composite indicators for ranking countries: a defensible setting (2009, background): “Ageneral objective of most of these indicators is the ranking of countries and their benchmarking according to some aggregated dimensions (see e.g. Cherchye, 2001; Kleinknecht et al., 2002 and OECD, 2003).”
Product Innovation and Educational Diversity in Top and Middle Management Teams (2020, result): “…(however, not necessarily the market implementation of that invention), product innovation, as a direct measure of innovation outcome, explicitly considers the introduction of a new product to the market, which is in line with the Schumpeterian definition of innovation (Kleinknecht et al., 2002).”
Innovation across Europe: how important are institutional differences? (2011, background): “Yet, evidence shows that this may not be always the case since small firms tend to outperform large firms when using innovation counts as an indicator for innovation (Kleinknecht et al., 2002).”
Immigration and Innovation in European Regions (2011, background): “…to R&D spending is quite constant over time, and often increasing with the development level of the region, the GDP growth rate is a good measure of increased resources that are available to the knowledge industries, rather than R&D expenditures themselves (Hunt, 2008; Kleinknecht et al., 2002).”
The macro determinants of health expenditure in the United States and Canada: assessing the impact of income, age distribution and time (2005, background): “[61] discuss the strengths and weaknesses of common innovation”
