1 Specificity of knowledge intensive entrepreneurship in central and eastern Europe Prof. Slavo Radosevic Triple Helix Webinar 1 July 18:00 CET
2 Some of the CEE success stories 2
3 that still do not translate into technology based growth Growth is still driven by medium tech and blue collars skills and FDI Central European automotive cluster CE as skilled workshop and part of the core manufacturing cluster in the EU 3
4 as demonstrated by export structure What Estonia exports? 4
5 Or what Czech R exports. 5
6 In CEE... non-r&d innovators dominate Source: Arundel, A., C. Bordoy and M. Kanerva (2008), Neglected innovators: how do innovative firms that do not perform R&D innovate? Results of an analysis of the Innobarometer 2007 survey No. 215, INNO-Metrics Thematic Paper 6
7 but.. Fast growing investments in R&D due to EU Structural Funds RDI push Changes in shares of GERD/GDP in percentage points of GDP Changes in shares of GERD/GDP in percentage points of GDP Estonia Slovenia Czech Republic EU_CEE Poland Hungary Slovakia Latvia Lithuania Bulgaria Romania Croatia
8 Despite successes stories..the dominance of replicative / imitative entrepreneurship Entrepreneurs in CEECs have fairly low employment growth ambitions: They expect to employ approximately one employee in a 5-year time horizon of start-up operation, compared to the sample average of 2.5 employees (GEM) > (0.64 jobs/rom 1.9 jobs/lv) low growth ambitions Access to markets govern entrepreneurial aspirations of firms in the CEE. A limited access to foreign markets represents much bigger obstacle for technology upgrading of entrepreneurial science-based technology firms. Science-based technology firms and niche technology firms are largely oriented towards the domestic market but are able to respond very quickly on buyers requests in terms of performance and quality. In order to access export market these firms would need more supportive institutional policy framework 8
9 Turnover from innovation as percentage of total turnover EU 10 New EU15 Old Similar innovation dynamics but... within different mode of innovation
10 Relationship between embodied investments and labour productivity in European countries... Innovation at behind the frontier is about acquisition of machinery 1.35 Luxembourg GDP in PPS per person employed relative to US = 100, Netherlands Denmark y = x R² = Belgium Ireland Czech R Greece Malta Slovenia Portugal Lithuania Hungary Turkey Lithuania Cyprus Croatia Poland Estonia Romania Bulgaria Share of expenditures for acqusition of machinery, equipment and software in total innovation expenditures, 2006
11 Three types of firms in CEE based on success factors: networkers, NTBFs, and organisation capabilities oriented Networker New technology based firms Customer oriented organisational capabilities Links with scientific organisations EU Framework programs and other EU support Government support Alliances/partnerships with other firms Links with previous employer Uniqueness of product/ technology/knowledge Patents and licences People and training Knowledge of customers needs Management Capability to offer expected services/products with low cost Extraction Quality Method: Principal Component Analysis Rotation Method: Varimax with Kaiser Normalization. 11
12 Factors discriminating between more and less successful innovators in CEE Understanding of user needs and user involvement Understanding of market Less important Successful R&D collaborations Successful innovation collaborations Source: Slavo Radosevic and Esin Yoruk (2012) SAPPHO Revisited: Factors of Innovation Success in Knowledge-Intensive Enterprises in Central and Eastern Europe 12
13 The importance of coupling as well as relative independence of markets, technology and networks in the formation of new firms. (Based on sample of 60 KIES in four CEECs in software and machine tools) Factor analysis for Importance of factors for the formation of company. Market and financial Technical Network opportunities knowledge experience Knowledge of the market Availability of finance Opportunities from a public procurement initiative Technical/engineering knowledge in the field Design knowledge Software knowledge Work experience in the field Networks built during the previous career Note: KMO measure of sampling adequacy=0.61; Bartlett's test of sphericity significant at level; Cumulative % of variance explained is 61.38%. 13
14 Internal know how and clients are the most important source of innovation Importance of sources of knowledge for developing new products/processes (% of firms expressing the sources of knowledge as important and very important ) SW MT All firms 1. Innovativeness via value chain and networks Clients Suppliers Competitors Trade, fairs, conferences and exhibitions Innovativeness via external R&D Government or public research institutes Universities or other higher education institutes External commercial labs/r&d firms Scientific journals/trade/technical publications including patent disclosures 1. Innovativeness via in-house R&D In-house know-how (R&D unit in your firm)
15 Autonomous or corporate driven entrepreneurship exploiting existing knowledge based on previous experience and recognising market opportunities and oriented towards developing new/distinctive products; 90% of SW firms are independent start-ups, 60% of MT firms are corporate-spin-outs Work experience in the activity field is highly important for almost 90% of the firms. 47% of the firms value networks built in the previous career as very important. 50% of the firms have introduced more than 10 new products/processes/services onto the market during the last three years. No differences between the two sectors. 50% of the firms have more than 50% share of 'innovative sales' during the last three years 15
16 Other key features of CEE knowledge intensive entrepreneurship.. Risk taking is constrained by weak demand and markets, technology risks, and skills shortages as well as by regulatory impediments. Corruption is present but unevenly. Financial constraints are not the major obstacles. 16
17 ..A combination of individual start-ups as well as corporate spinouts whose establishment and growth are closely interdependent with a variety of networks or network related factors CEE firms are spinoffs who have inherited specific knowledge from parent firms (similar to Klepper and Sleeper (2005) and Klepper (2009)). They are either organizational spinoffs (MT) or new start-ups (SW) but whose founders brought accumulated work experience and network capital built during their previous career. This autonomous or corporate driven entrepreneurship is geared towards exploiting existing knowledge based on previous experience and recognising new market opportunities. New KIEs are repositioning themselves in terms of markets or products, but not in terms of technology. In that respect, CEE entrepreneurship is of a cumulative and evolutionary rather than disruptive nature 17
18 Institutional barriers in setting up and operating a company are present but far less than would be expected. The range of regulatory barriers for setting up and operating a company are assessed as not important by more than 60% of the companies while corruption and discriminatory treatment of companies as barriers are quite divided between companies. Institutional barriers still exist but they are weaker than expected and seem to be more firm - rather than sector or country - specific. The major barriers are related to demand and market constraints, technology risks and skills shortages, i.e. barriers are more developmental than institutional. Finance is much less a problem in firm formation but is more present in firm growth. The finance factor is one of the major barriers for growth of 20-40% of firms 18
19 Innovation is commercially quite relevant for CEE KIEs Around 50% of the firms have more than 50% share of 'innovative sales' during the last three years which is significantly above the EU average of 9.9% of turnover from new or significantly improved products new to the market in 2008 (calculated based on Eurostat). SW and MT firms are specialized suppliers firms, which largely innovate based on their in-house knowledge (own R&D) and value chains. For only 10% of firms, external R&D is a very important source of innovation for product development. For 90% of firms, clients are a very or moderately important source for product development. All this points to innovativeness which is embodied in a firm s knowhow and shared with value chain partners, 19
20 A majority of the CEE KIEs are not new technology based firms that grow based on commercialisation of proprietary technology Instead, these firms are competing on all competitive factors (novelty, quality, customization and costs) by serving both domestic and export markets. Their innovativeness is much more embodied in their overall entrepreneurship orientation and cannot be reduced to new gadget, i.e. artefacts or disembodied knowledge (patents). The basis of their entrepreneurship is in accumulation of firm-specific know-how and in understanding of clients needs. In order to sustain these wide competitive advantages, KIEs (especially SW firms) rely on in-house knowledge and alliances. 20
21 Networks are very important in entrepreneurial strategies of firms but they are not yet improving risk taking ambition Formal collaboration agreements are important in terms of both production and technological capabilities for 40% of firms. However, much important are informal networks especially with clients, competitors, in developing new products and in recruiting skilled labour. Networks are quite positively important in establishing company (networks inherited from previous employment), in new product development or innovativeness (VC partners and market networks), in exploring new ideas or proactiveness (VC partners and market networks), and partly in sustaining competitive advantages (alliances in SW). But these networks are not improving risk taking ambition and do not generate potential economies of scale and scope through labour pool or joint specialized services. This may be partly due to the small size of the CEE markets and the lack of inter-country support networks. 21
22 KIE in CEECs compared with the global model: a stylised picture based on case studies New technology based firm CEE knowledge based firm Mode of growth Generic expansion Productivity based expansion Strategic objective Commercializing results of IPR Diversifying to exploit organisational capabilities Model role Gazelle Knowledge broker/specialized supplier Structural feature Trendsetter Trend spotter Market Global market Domestic market orientation Key competitive advantage New world frontier technology or product Customer oriented organisational capabilities Threshold barrier IPO From domestic brand builder and networker to established exporter Source: Radosevic S. and R. Wooodward (2008) A comparative overview of case studies of knowledge based firms from Central and East European countries, mimeo 22
23 A strong mismatch between the assumption of policy about KIEs and their true nature. In reality these firms are actually well established corporate spinoffs, not start-ups. They do not undertake large amounts of in-house R&D, do not have IPR derive their competitive advantage from the knowledge of users or customers, many are not growth oriented See for evidence Brown and Masson, 2014; see Radosevic et al (2010; 2011) in the context of eastern Europe. 23
24 How to understand the role of KIEs? KIEs vs. innovation eco-system It is not KIEs or large firms per se that are driving innovation but an innovation ecosystem > large firms interacting with small technology based firms The majority of KIEs are not a direct and independent source of growth, but rather an indirect source of new knowledge, employment and value added. High growth firms are not necessarily high tech firms and the capacity of policy or a state modernization project to target such firms is expected to be quite low. KIEs require a sophisticated market (users) for the new technologies KIEs may not be high growth firms themselves but act as knowledge suppliers to other firms i.e. as specialised suppliers. 24
25 Conclusion: KIEs in CEE are not powerful driver of growth but they are increasingly important actor in newly emerging innovation eco-system Their future growth will depend on: How demand will improve and on links with customers Links with large firms Technology demand through public innovation procurement Links with other actors in innovation eco-system (universities, PROs) 25
