Riassunto (Inglese)

Riassunto (Italiano)

In order to investigate the effect of innovative efforts on firm’s growth and financial dynamics, we examine two samples of Italian SMEs in manufacturing industry; the selection process started searching for the firms that applied for patents in 2005, and selecting 249 ”top innovators” among small and medium enterprises ; then a set of comparable non-innovating firms has been chosen. Our finding shows that innovative activity is not a significant determinant of firm growth and debt level; instead innovating firms turn out to be more profitable than non-innovating.
