2. Why Innovate ?
Companies that face Competitive
pressure are more likely to Innovate
Companies that Innovate are more likely
to be Productive
(Competition, Innovation and Productivity in Australian Businesses,
Productivity Commission, Sep.2011)
Compared to businesses that do not innovate, innovative Australian
businesses are:
• 41 per cent more likely to report increased profitability;
• Twice as likely to report increased productivity;
• Twice as likely to export; and
• Up to four times more likely to increase employment and social contributions
(Australian Innovation System Report 2011)
