the firm is the first to introduce the innovation onto its market.
the firm is the first to introduce the innovation for all markets and
industries, domestic and international.
Disruptive innovations:
Innovation activities
Innovation activities
are all scientific, technological, organisational,
financial and commercial steps which actually, or
are intended to, lead to the implementation of
innovations. Some innovation activities are
themselves innovative, others are not novel
activities but are necessary for the implementation
of innovations. Innovation activities also include
R&D that is not directly related to the development
of a specific innovation.
www.uis.unesco.org
Intramural (in-house) R&D: This comprises all R&D conducted by the enterprise,
including basic research.
Acquisition of R&D (extramural R&D): R&D purchased from public or private
research organisations or from other enterprises (including other enterprises within
the group).
Acquisition of other external knowledge: Acquisition of rights to use patents and
non-patented inventions, trademarks, know-how and other types of knowledge from
other enterprises and institutions such as universities and government research
institutions, other than R&D.
Acquisition of machinery, equipment and other capital goods: Acquisitions of
advanced machinery, equipment, computer hardware or software, and land and
buildings (including major improvements, modifications and repairs), that are required
to implement product or process innovations.
Other preparations for product and process innovations: Other activities related
to the development and implementation of product and process innovations, such as
design, planning and testing for new products (goods and services), production
processes, and delivery methods that are not already included in R&D.
Market preparations for product innovations: Activities aimed at the market
introduction of new or significantly improved goods or services.
Training: Training (including external training) linked to the development of product or
process innovations and their implementation.

Linkages
The innovative activities of a firm partly depend on the variety and structure of
its links to sources of information, knowledge, technologies, practices, and
human and financial resources. Each linkage connects the innovating firm to
other actors in the innovation system: government laboratories, universities,
policy departments, regulators, competitors, suppliers, and customers.
Innovation surveys can obtain information on the prevalence and importance of
different types of linkages, plus the factors that influence the use of specific
linkages.
