Firm Performance, Innovation Modes and Territorial Embeddedness
This paper seeks to identify different innovation modes and their territorial embeddedness, relating them to firms' innovative and economic performance. We also analyse the relationship between the different innovation modes and the economic impact of the crisis on firms' performance. These relationships are tested by regression and latent class models for the Portuguese population of firms, using a sample of 397 firms classified according to technological intensity, size and region. Our results show three different innovation modes: a DUI (Doing, Using and Interacting) mode, an STI (Science, Technology and Innovation) mode and a TEI (Territorial Embeddedness Innovation) mode in which territory plays a key role. These innovative modes are related in different ways to firms' economic and innovative performance and also have marked distinctions in terms of resilience to the economic crisis. These findings lead to a reflection on regional innovation policy in the European context.
