| Description |
The aim of this paper is to give an answer to the question “how to detect the regional dimension of innovation?”. So, in this paper, a method to be used as an operational tool that is able to grasp regional specificities in the innovation process, based on the optimization of measurement activity, is proposed. Evidence in the scientific literature shows that data and indicators are able to quantify the contribution of different regions, identify the different technological profiles of the regions and measure the technological performances of regional systems, the innovative performances of firms and the density and quality of systemic interactions between the main institutional actors, but these items are often not developed through an analytical model of measure control cost based on the optimization of certain influencing factors. The proposed approach is based on two main points:1) Define the opportune methodology to detect the innovation level of a single firm. For this aim it has been considered the AICTT-RTA protocol. Each SME, is considered as innovative or as non-innovative according to the outcome of a Technology Audit (TA) conducted in compliance with the AICTT-RTA protocol.2) Determine, starting only from some of the SMEs in a certain monitored area, if the entire area is innovative or not, through TA on a optimal sample size of SMEs analyzed. For this second point the approach uses a bayesian analysis of the Deming cost model. This approach considers a wide area, industrial or urban, in which SMEs are present and treats it as a lot of N items.Through the proposed approach, to characterize the regional innovation it’s sufficient to characterize just only some SMEs, however detecting the whole regional innovation profile.In this paper this aspect is valorized and set in the form of a useful operational tool for regional institutions, innovation managers, entrepreneurs and researchers.Simulation results complement the proposed theoretical model.
