TY - JOUR ID - 30761 AU - Vokoun, Marek PY - 2015 TI - Innovation activities and growth of SMEs - the case of the Czech manufacturing industry PB - Vysoká škola technická a ekonomická v Českých Budějovicích CY - České Budějovice KW - Innovation KW - SME KW - productivity KW - manufacturing KW - dynamics N2 - This paper aims at differences between small and medium sized companies (SMEs) and large companies in the Czech manufacturing industry between 2004 and 2010 using data from 3 Community Innovation Surveys waves. The size of a firm increases the probability to engage in an innovation project, however no statistically significant relationship was found for innovation input intensity. Being part of group companies is a positive determi-nant of innovation activities in the first stage (decision, input) of innovation process. This links SMEs to financial sources which are more likely available for larger structures like consortium. SMEs entrant have higher probability to innovate and higher innovation out-put, however this effect has decreasing returns to scale. SMEs efficiency is negatively influ-enced by the amount of public sources. Even mere participation in the public support pro-grams is not associated with the higher probability of innovation activities (innovation decision) and not even to innovation input intensity (weak positive only for EU funds participation).
