Abstract

This paper studies if the context of the regional industry structure moderates the link between enterprise research and development (R&D) investments and product innovation performance. Cross-level analyses from Norway show that the regional industry structure moderates the link, as the innovation performance from enterprise R&D investments is stronger in regions with a specialized structure than in regions with a diversified structure. The paper accordingly demonstrates that the regional industry structure influences the conversion of enterprise R&D resources into innovative products or services. In particular, it shows that a specialized (diversified) regional industry structure is favourable (unfavourable) for enterprise R&D investments concerning product innovation performance.
