Abstract
This integrative paper presents the highlights of the Survey on Innovation Activities (SIA) in the Philippines, and puts forward the policy issues attendant to promoting, strengthening, and institutionalizing the system of innovation within Filipino firms. Target establishments were stratified into food and non-food industry clusters. Results show the larger the establishment, the more likely it innovates. Even average expenditures in innovation rise with the size of establishments. The paper analyzes factors in barriers to innovation; effects of innovation; sources for information and cooperation; and policy issues.
