摘要
The study examines the relationship between innovation capability and firmprofitability. The study has been executed by conducting aweb-based survey in Finnish small-sized andmedium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Previous research has studied the effect of innovativeness on performance. This study went thus a one step further by providing a comprehensive description of the effects of the determinants of innovation capability on profitability of SMEs. According to the results, there is only a minor effect of the determinants of innovation capability on firm profitability. Copyright (C) 2014 JohnWiley & Sons, Ltd.
