Abstract

Innovation in the global marketplace is at the core of the twenty-first century knowledge-based economy (Schumpeter, 1980: 66). Innovation is in itself a fuzzy concept and measuring it is more difficult (Godin, 2008). Innovation may encompass the invention of products and processes coupled with their commercial exploitation. Measuring innovation performance can be vital in arriving at a formal link between innovation performance and economic growth (Freeman and Soete, 2007). Thus multiple indicators, along with patent statistics, can be used in assessing innovation performance (Lanjouw and Schankerman, 1999).
