Innovative capabilities, firm performance and foreign ownership: Empirical analysis of large and medium-sized companies form all industries

Summary/Abstract: In this article innovative capability, i.e. the ability of new products and markets development, is analyzed and empirically tested. The results have proven that the companies with more developed innovative capabilities achieve higher performance levels, but that there is no difference in innovative capabilities between large and medium-sized companies. On the other hand, medium-sized companies have slightly higher levels of sales growth and increase in market share.
