• How Can External Relationships Enhance Innovation in SMEs? New Evidence for Europe* (2012, background): “Several works confirm that network ties can be valuable tools for fostering innovation performance (e.g., Chen, Chen, and Vanhaverbeke 2011; Freeman 1991; Love and Roper 2001; Nieto and Santamaria 2007; Rammer, Czarnitzki, and Spielkamp 2009; Rogers 2004; Zeng, Xie, and Tam 2010).”
• Corporate Governance and Innovation: A Survey (2012, positive): “More recently, a positive relationship between unionized (large) firms and the likelihood of having innovation at the firm level is found also by Rogers (2004), who uses data on around 3400 Australian firms observed from 1993 to 1995.”
• Formal business networking and SME growth (2013, background): “Furthermore, a number of empirical papers have documented the existence of networking benefits (e.g. Ostgaard and Birley 1996; Lechner and Dowling 2003; Rogers 2004; Watson 2007; Park et al. 2010).”
• Comparing Innovation Capability of Small and Medium‐Sized Enterprises: Examining the Effects of Organizational Culture and Empowerment (2010, background): “Other research has also suggested a positive relationship between achievement motivation and innovativeness (Rogers 2004).”
• Determinants of Product Innovation in Small Firms (2006, background): “Rogers (2004) also provides evidence for the different use and importance of innovation determinants between manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors.”
• Entrepreneurship and innovation in Ghana: enterprising Africa (2009, background): “Innovation is commonly perceived as a key factor in stimulating small firm development (Mahemba and De Bruijn 2003) and business success ( Rogers 2004; Hausman 2005).”
• Exporting and innovation performance: Analysis of the annual Small Business Survey in the UK (2011, background): “Numerous authors focus on the information constraints that limit exporting behaviour; see for example Rogers (2004) or Kingsley and Malecki (2004) who focus on the importance of networking as well as the innovation process in explaining exporting behaviour.”
• Ownership concentration and product innovation in Chinese private SMEs (2012, neutral): “In recent years a growing number of studies have investigated the determinants of product innovation in both mature and emerging market SMEs (Bhattacharya & Bloch, 2004; De Jong & Vermeulen, 2006; Freel, 2000, 2003; Mu et al., 2007; Rogers, 2004; Xu et al., 2008; Zeng et al., 2010).”
• Open, Semi-Open and Closed Innovators: Towards an Explanation of Degree of Openness (2010, background): “This has led some authors to conclude that openness is more important for small firms (Freel, 2000; Rogers, 2004).”
• Firm Size and Innovation in European Manufacturing (2008, neutral): “Similar results were obtained by Rogers (2004) using Australian survey data; he finds that in manufacturing small firms are better at capturing the benefits of networking for innovation, whereas the opposite holds for non manufacturing firms.”
• Orchestrating innovation networks: The case of innovation brokers in the agri-food sector (2010, background): “An obvious reason for this attention is that there are many differences in the way that large firms and SMEs deal with cooperation and innovation (Hoffmann and Schlosser 2001; Nooteboom 1994; Rogers 2004).”
• Social capital in the growth of science-and-technology-based SMEs (2008, neutral): “…2003; Cross, Borgatti, & Parker, 2002; Elfring and Hulsink, 2003; Hanna and Walsh, 2002; Hitt and Ireland, 2002; Jarillo, 1989; Lechner and Dowling, 2003; Lipparini and Sobero, 1994; Rangone, 1999; Rogers, 2004; Yli-Renko, Autio, & Sapienza, 2001; Yli-Renko, Autio, Sapienza, & Tontti, 2002).”
• Performance and size: empirical evidence from Portuguese SMEs (2008, background): “Consequently, increased size does not necessarily contribute to increased performance (Rogers 2004).”
