• The Influence of Industry and Home Country Characteristics On Firms' Pursuit of Innovation

This study examines the influence of industry and home country characteristics on domestic firm innovation investment and considers whether these relationships are more pronounced if the firm is competing in global versus multidomestic industries. Hypotheses are developed and tested using data from 625 firms in eight industries, across 31 countries. The findings generally support the hypotheses that industry structure and national context have significant direct influence on firm innovation investment. Furthermore, industry structure was found to have a more pronounced influence on firm innovation investment for global industries than for multidomestic industries.
