# <u>Box 1. Innovation Activities in the Enterprise Survey</u>

|Innovation or knowledge inputs are activities that are associated with the development of innovation at<br>the firm level.<br>|
|---|
|They are grouped into 5 categories:<br>i. Research and development|
|The firms were surveyed on the source of R&D (internal vs external) as well as expenditure.<br>ii. Capacity building<br>|
|The firms reported on the training provided as a result of new innovations introduced as well as<br>expenditure.|
|iii. Purchase/licensing of inventions or other knowledge forms<br>The firms reported on the expenditure on the purchase of inventions or intellectual property that<br>helped them come up with innovations.<br>iv. Acquisition of business intelligence|
|The interviewed firms reported on what were the key sources of information and ideas for their<br>innovative activities.|
|v. Intellectual property|
|On this, firms reported on whether they applied for patents, utility models, trademarks, copyright<br>design or registered an industrial design.|

# <u>Box 2. Innovation Outputs from the Enterprise Survey</u>

|Similar<br>Survey<br>i.<br>ii.<br>iii.<br>iv.|to the innovation surveys based on the Oslo Manual, the innovation module of the Enterprise<br>measures the following types of outcomes:<br>Product innovations<br>Process innovations<br>Organizational innovations<br>Marketing innovations|
|---|---|
|Produc<br>context<br>a. <br>b. <br>c.|t innovations are essentially new, redesigned, or substantially improved goods or services. In the<br>of the survey, there are 3 metrics used:<br>New products to the firm,<br>Significantly improved products,<br>New products to the market.|
|Process<br>method<br>improv<br>logistic<br>replace<br>seasona<br>to be in<br>a. <br>b. <br>c. <br>Organi<br>practic<br>innovat<br>fows,<br>develop|innovation is the implementation of new or significantly improved production or delivery<br>s (including significant changes in techniques, equipment, and/or software). Minor changes or<br>ements, an increase in production or service capabilities through the addition of manufacturing or<br>al systems which are very similar to those already in use, ceasing to use a process, simple capital<br>ment or extension, changes resulting purely from changes in factor prices, customization, regular<br>l and other cyclical changes, trading of new or significantly improved products are not considered<br>novations.1 Specifically:<br>Innovation methods for manufacturing products or offering services,<br>Innovative logistics, delivery, or distribution methods for inputs, products, or services,<br>Innovative supporting activity for processes, such as maintenance systems or operations for<br>purchasing, accounting, or computing.<br>zational innovation means the implementation of a new organizational method in business<br>es, workplace organization, or external relations. The kind of innovation is grouped into structural<br>ions which is meant to impact responsibilities, accountability, command lines, and information<br>as well as the number of hierarchical levels, the divisional structure of functions (research and<br>ment, production, human resources, fnancing, etc.) or the separation between line and support|
