Abstract

The report on innovation activities in the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) in Cavite and Laguna illustrates government’s central role in fostering and encouraging firms to innovate. It shows that a conducive business environment and strong institutional qualities such as good governance, translate into improved and increased innovation activities by firms. Moreover, the report also points out challenges and constraints to innovation such as the lack of collaboration among government, business, industry, and academe. It then provides some policy recommendations drawn from analysis of the survey.

Description

Based on the final area report of the SIA results in PEZA-operated zones in Cavite and Laguna written by Dr. Rafaelita Aldaba and Mr. Donald Yasay, Senior Research Fellow and Research Specialist, respectively, at the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS).
