Abstract
The innovation survey covered key cities in the Philippines and focused on firms engaged in Electronics, Food Manufacturing, and ICT-related industries. Key findings revealed that cost factors are the major barriers to innovation, and that knowledge management (KM) is a good determinant of innovation. It was found that firms active in KM practices have shown high innovation activity across size, industry type, and location of establishment. The study results also suggest that government authorities need to work in tandem with academic and business sectors, strengthen partnerships to advocate for innovation, and provide more leadership for bringing people and institutions together.
