Abstract

Some obstacles for measuring innovation in developing economies are: differing evolutionary paths; demand on special indicators to measure innovativeness; the complexity of enterprise processes; and the role of the non-technological dimension. In the Philippines context, it is challenging to assess innovative capabilities and innovation characteristics of firms relative to other scales of measurement, such as Research and Development infrastructure surveys or national or community innovation surveys, as largely, these are fragmented, late-coming, or do not as yet exist. The report focuses on results of the 2009 Survey of Innovation Activities (SIA), which is derived from innovation performances from four key cities.
