Abstract

This paper explores the relevance of technological innovations for the internationalisation of manufacturing firms. It differentiates between two technological innovations: eco-innovations and generic-technological innovations (i.e., intelligent manufacturing). By pooling the Flash Eurobarometer-415 and -433 surveys, we use a broad firm-level sample of 4954 European and non-European (the US and Switzerland) manufacturing firms. Appling the Heckman selection model, the findings indicate that eco-innovations positively affect the decision of the firms to internationalise whilst showing no significant impact on the level of international operations. On the other hand, generic-technological innovations positively affect both the decision and the level of global operations.

Özet

Bu makale, teknolojik inovasyonların imalat firmalarının uluslararası operasyonlarına etkisini incelemektedir ve iki tür teknolojik yeniliğe odaklanmaktadır: eko-inovasyonlar ve jenerik-teknolojik yenilikler (akıllı üretim). Flash Eurobarometer-415 ve Flash Eurobarometer-433 anketlerini bir araya getirerek, 4954 adet Avrupa ve Avrupa dışı (ABD ve İsviçre) imalat firmasından oluşan firma düzeyinde geniş bir örneklem kullanılmaktadır. Ekonometrik analizlerde Heckman seçim modeli uygulanmaktadır. Bulgulara göre eko-inovasyon, firmaların uluslararasılaşma kararlarını olumlu etkilemektedir, ancak uluslararası operasyonların düzeyi üzerinde önemli bir etki göstermemektedir. Jenerik-teknolojik yenilikler ise uluslararası operasyonların hem kararını hem de seviyesini olumlu yönde etkilemektedir.
