title = {Why some Russian industrial companies innovate regularly: Determinants of firms’ decisions to innovate and associated routines},
year = {2013},
note = {Through a survey of CEOs of Russian industrial companies administered
in the second half of 2011 we have tried to understand the forces that
lead some firms to decide to engage in more innovative activities than
others and examined the types of routines associated with this
decision. We found that the most important factors that predispose
Russian CEOs towards regular innovations are awareness of rapid
changes in technologies and products, positive assessment of the
market trends and ability to orchestrate intra-industry cooperation.
The most visible routine associated with more innovative behavior is
the wide use of subcontractors for most of the activity related to
innovations.},
