Does Product Development and Firm Growth Go Hand in Hand?
نویسنده
چکیده
Focusing on the relationship between product development and economic performance measured by firm growth this paper presents empirical evidence of a positive correlation. Using two comparable questionnaire surveys from mid 1990’s and late 1990’s, accounting statistics and labor market data a logistic regression model is applied on both time periods explaining product development. Besides the positive correlation between firm growth and product development a number of control variable have been included to make sure the correlation is not implicit. Among others these show support for the user-producer theorem and both Schumpeter MARK I and Schumpeter MARK II hypotheses.
