Service innovation and performance in SMEs (2012, background): “Second, some researchers have suggested that services are rather uninteresting with respect to innovation which may have caused them to attract relatively little attention from scholars of innovation (Tether, 2005).”
The organisational-cooperation mode of innovation and its prominence amongst European service firms (2008, background): “It is often less formally organised, more incremental in nature and less technological” (OECD-Eurostat, 2005, p. 11; see also Tether, 2005 ).”
THE ELIXIR (OR BURDEN) OF YOUTH? EXPLORING DIFFERENCES IN INNOVATION BETWEEN START-UPS AND ESTABLISHED FIRMS. (2008, background): “…the literatures on age and innovation 4 with the emerging understanding of the nature of innovation in services, focusing on coterminality, intangibility and low capital intensity as drivers of differences in performance outcomes (Coombs and Miles 2000; Gallouj and Savona 2009; Tether 2003a, 2005).”
The determinants of regional specialisation in business services: agglomeration economies, vertical linkages and innovation (2015, background): “Innovation in BS There is increasing evidence that many service firms, and in particular BS, play important roles in innovation, not only in the use, but also in the creation and diffusion of new technologies and non-technological modes of innovation compared to their manufacturing sectors counterpa”
Hospitality innovation strategies: An analysis of success factors and challenges (2019, background): “Innovation in the service sector has gained prominence over recent years in parallel with the recognition of its singularity (Castellacci, 2008; Gallouj, 2002; Gallouj & Weinstein, 1997; Gomezelj, 2016; Miles, 2005; Miozzo & Soete, 2001; Tether, 2005).”
Variety in the Knowledge Base of Knowledge Intensive Business Services (2010, background): “In spite of manifest differences between, say, Legal Activities and Data Processing, the majority of existing studies build upon and contribute to consolidate the implicit assumption that KIBS are a homogeneous clod (den Hertog and Bilderbeek, 2000; Tether, 2005).”
The Strategic Management of Innovation: A Systematic Review and Paths for Future Research (2011, positive): “Some pioneering work exists, e.g. the formal economics-based attempt of Gallouj and Weinstein (1997) to build a theory of innovation that explains service innovation, or the pioneering article of Tether (2005) who provides mostly descriptive evidence of service innovation within the EU.”
Innovation, productivity and growth in US business services: a firm-level analysis (2008, methodology): “There is therefore a body of evidence suggesting that external linkages, especially customer linkages, have a positive impact on innovation (Tether, 2005; Leiponen, 2005), and another body of evidence indicating that innovation positively influences performance.”
The benefits of R&D and breadth in innovation strategies: a comparison of Finnish service and manufacturing firms (2012, methodology): “One aspect missing from the survey 28 dataset used here is organizational innovation, which Tether (2005) found to be relevant for service firms.”
Defining service innovation: A review and synthesis (2016, positive): “Studies using the assimilation perspective are the most numerous (Gallouj, 2002) and focus on the impact of new technology, which early studies considered the main driver of service innovation (Tether, 2005; Toivonen & Tuominen, 2009).”
Modes of innovation in knowledge-intensive business services evidence from Lombardy (2009, background): “ Tether (2005) emphasizes the need to focus on three domains in order to achieve a better conceptualization of innovation: firm output, internal organization of the firm and external organization of service provision.”
Open service innovation and the firm's search for external knowledge (2014, background): “Tether (2005), for example, reports that services firms are more likely to collaborate with their customers and suppliers, whereas manufacturing firms would rely more on universities.”
External Linkages, R&D and Innovation Performance in US Business Services (2007, background): “This relationship allows for both formal and informal interaction, possibly a hotbed for originating innovative ideas and or suggestions (Freel, 2000; Hipp, 2000; Hughes and Wood, 2000; Bougrain and Haudeville, 2002; Sobrero and Roberts, 2002; Chung and Kim, 2003; Tether, 2005).”
