An Integration of Research Findings of Effects of Firm Size and Market Competition on Product and Process Innovations
整合了关于企业规模和市场竞争如何影响产品创新与过程创新的实证研究，发现两者受规模和竞争的影响强度并无显著差异，对创新类型研究有启示。
Product and process innovations have been studied as distinct phenomena whose introduction is influenced differently by firm and market conditions. This study reviews and quantitatively integrates the findings of the empirical studies of the associations of firm size and market competition with product and process innovations. The accumulation of research results and subgroup analyses of construct measurement do not provide evidence of substantial differences in the strength of the influence of size or competition on the two innovation types. Implications of the results for future research on innovation types as distinct or integrative phenomena are discussed.
