Service innovation in manufacturing firms: Evidence from Spain (2012, background): “Lastly, Rammer et al. (2009) show the portance of applying HRM tools (training among them) to cilitate innovation processes.”
The internationalization of small and medium-sized enterprises: the effect of family management, human capital and foreign ownership (2010, background): “Internal R&D does not capture all aspects of innovation, as it often occurs via other channels, especially in SMEs: SMEs may therefore manage to be innovative without carrying out any formal R&D (Rammer et al. 2009).”
Determinants of R&D cooperation in small and medium-sized enterprises (2012, background): “After correcting sample selection, we find that small firms have a disadvantage in establishing external R&D cooperation because of their size limitations, which may be associated with SMEs’ lack of human resources, funding for long-term R&D, and risk spreading (Rothwell and Dodgson 1991; Rammer et ”
Effectiveness and efficiency of SME innovation policy (2013, background): “SMEs may be especially likely to abstain from intramural R&D on grounds of excessive risk and limited access to finance compared with larger firms (Rammer et al 2009).”
R&D Determinants: accounting for the differences between research and development (2014, background): “Finally, R&D is risky and many projects fail, so that large firms will be able to spread risks over different projects while smaller firms should focus on one or a few projects only (Rammer et al, 2009).”
The drivers of SME innovation in the regions of the EU (2021, background): “Instead, SME innovation in these regions generally tends not to be based on R & D investments or on the absorption of basic (cid:65)nowledge spilling over from research institutions (Rammer et al., 2009), but on processes of learning-by-doing, by-using. and by-interacting.”
Costs and Benefits of Inter-Departmental Innovation Collaboration (2011, background): “As Rammer, Czarnitzki, and Spielkamp (2009) explained, this does not necessarily mean that the product is the first of its kind worldwide because markets often are regional in nature.”
