对4，378项重大创新的调查表明，雇员少于1，000人的公司商业化的份额远远大于其研发支出的份额。员工人数超过1万人的企业，员工人均创新能力一直高于平均水平，而员工人数少于1000人的企业也是如此。创新企业规模分布的部门间差异可以解释为基于研发的技术机会的函数，以及主要活动在该部门之外的用户企业的“技术进入容易程度”的函数。版权所有1987年由布莱克韦尔出版有限公司。
A survey of 4,378 significant innovations shows that firms with fewer than 1,000 employees commercialized a much larger share than is indicated by their share of R and D expenditures. Innovations per employee have been consistently above average in firms with more than 10,000 employees, and have become so in firms with fewer than 1,000. Intersectoral variation in the size distribution of innovating firms can be explained as a function of R and D-based technological opportunities, and of "technological ease of entry" by user firms with principal activities outside the sector.
