Chapter 4: Developing an innovation strategy
1. Four factors have a major influence on the ability of a firm to develop and create
value through innovation. Which of the following is not one of these factors?
a) Its ability to identify and exploit external sources of innovation, especially
international networks.
*b) Its ability to invest in basic science and technology.
c) Its power and market position within the international value chain, which in part
defines the innovation-based opportunities and threats that it faces.
d) The national system of innovation in which the firm is embedded, and which in
part defines its range of choices in dealing with opportunities and threats.
2. In his popular book, The World is Flat: The globalized world in the 21st century
(Penguin, 2006), Thomas Friedman argues that developments in technology and
trade, in particular information and communications technologies (ICTs), are
spreading the benefits of globalization to the merging economies, promoting their
development and growth. Which of the following is not true?
*a) Technology and innovation are evenly distributed globally.
b) Technology and innovation are not easily transferred across regions or firms.
c) Different national contexts influence the ability of firms to absorb such technology
and innovation.
d) The position of firms in international value chains can constrain their ability to
exploit innovation.
3. Deciding where to locate and perform R&D depends on a number of factors. Which
of the following is not a significant influence?
a) R&D supporting overseas production should be located close to that of overseas
production.
b) R&D supporting existing businesses (i.e. products, processes, divisions) should be
located in established divisions.
*c) R&D supporting global products and services should be located overseas.
d) R&D supporting new businesses should initially be located in central laboratories,
then transferred to divisions for exploitation.
4. Which of the following is not one of the main factors influencing the decision where
to locate R&D globally?
a) The importance of external sources of technical and market knowledge, e.g.
sources of technology, suppliers, and customers.
*b) The quality of the science and technology base.
c) The importance and costs of internal transactions, e.g. between engineering and
production.
d) The cost and disruption of relocating key personnel to the chosen site.
, Tidd & Bessant, Managing Innovation: Integrating Technological, Market and Organizational Change,
7th edition
5. Firms have many reasons for monitoring and learning from the development of
technological, production and organizational competencies of systems of innovation
in other countries, and especially from those that are growing and strong. Which of
the following is not a significant reason?
*a) Understanding and imitating foreign systems of innovation.
b) Firms can benefit more specifically from the technology generated in foreign
systems of innovation.
c) Potential sources of improvement in the corporate management of innovation.
d) Identify and plan for firms with a potential capacity to compete through
innovation.
6. Which of the following is the least common method used by firms to learn about
competitors’ innovations?
a) Licensing.
b) Reverse engineering.
*c) Patent analysis.
d) Publications.
7. The national system of innovation in which a firm is embedded matters greatly, since
it strongly influences both the direction and the vigour of its own innovative
activities. This includes national market incentives and pressures to which firms have
to respond. Which of the following is not a significant incentive?
a) Local production input prices, where international differences can help generate
very different pressures for innovation.
b) Local (private and public) investment activities, which create innovative
opportunities for local suppliers.
*c) Local skills and knowledge.
d) Local natural resources, which create opportunities for innovation in both
upstream extraction and downstream processing.
8. Firms’ innovative behaviours are strongly influenced by the competencies of their
managers and the ways in which their performance is judged and rewarded (and
punished). Methods of judgement and reward vary considerably amongst countries,
according to their national systems of corporate governance: in other words, the
systems for exercising and changing corporate ownership and control. Which of the
following is not generally true?
a) In the Anglo-Saxon system corporate ownership (shareholders) is separated from
corporate control (managers).
*b) In the Anglo-Saxon system investors are slow to deal with poor investment
choices.
c)In the Nippon–Rhineland system a higher priority is given to investment than to
returns to shareholders.
