Abstract:
|
This paper analyzes the profile of Spanish young innovative companies (YICs) and the
determinants of innovation and imitation strategies. The results for an extensive sample
of 2,221 Spanish firms studied during the period 2004–2010 show that YICs are found in
all sectors, although they are more concentrated in high-tech sectors and, in particular,
in knowledge-intensive services (KIS). Three of every four YICs are involved in KIS. Our
results highlight that financial and knowledge barriers have much impact on the capacity
of young, small firms to innovate and to become YICs, whereas market barriers are not obstacles
to becoming a YIC. Public funding, in particular from the European Union, makes
it easier for a new firm to become a YIC. In addition, YICs are more likely to innovate
than mature firms, although they are more susceptible to sectoral and territorial factors.
YICs make more dynamic use of innovation and imitation strategies when they operate in
high-tech industries and are based in science parks located close to universities.
Keywords: innovation strategies, public innovation policies, barriers to innovation, multinomial
probit model.
