Productivity Commission analysis indicates greatest productivity gains come when a business is internationally connected, and product innovation is linked to organisational and operational innovation: • ‘..to successfully innovate and make the most of new technology, firms need to reinvent many aspects of their operation
– including process and service design, software development, organisation structure and marketing. This requires not only R&D capability but also considerable management expertise and an ‘all of firm’ innovation mindset.’
• “New Zealand firms that improve operational processes and organisational structures at the same time as innovating their products achieve much better productivity gains than firms that innovate in only one of these areas’
• New Zealand firms that export or invest in offshore markets generally do experience productivity improvements following some types of innovation .. NZ firms focussed solely on domestic markets are less likely to innovate
