Statistical concepts and definitions | An innovation is a new or improved product (good or service) or business process that differs significantly from the enterprise’s previous products or business processes and that has been implemented on the market or brought into use by the enterprise. An innovation-active enterprise is an enterprise, which during the observation period is engaged in one or more activities to develop or implement new or improved products or business processes. A product innovation is a new or improved good or service that differs significantly from the enterprise’s previous goods or services and that has been implemented on the market. It includes significant changes to the design of the goods. Simple re-sale of new goods and changes of a solely aesthetic nature are excluded. A business process innovation is a new or improved business process for one or more business functions that differs significantly from the enterprises’s previous business processes and that has been implemented within the firm. Business process innovations include new or improved methods for: · producing goods or providing services; · logistics, delivery or distribution; · information processing or communication; · accounting or other administrative operations; · business practices for organising procedures or external relations; · organising work responsibility, decision making or human resource management; · marketing methods for promotion, packaging, pricing, product placement or after sales services. Innovation co-operation is active participation with other enterprises or institutions in innovation projects. Pure contracting out of work with no active co-operation in innovation projects is not considered as a co-operation. Innovation activity includes all developmental, financial and commercial activities undertaken by the enterprise that are intended to result in innovations. |
