Sources of ideas for new products, product complexity and innovation results

Sources of innovation are temporarily unexplored, since the majority of research was conducted prior to the year 2010, mostly in developed countries. Developed countries in these research show significant innovation sources in own R&D, customers and suppliers. On the other hand, developing countries largely depend on OEM for production process improvement and incremental innovation. This work contributes to the literature by analysing two transition countries Slovenia and Croatia. We argue that globalisation of manufacturing has actually changed the sources of innovation since last studies. We contribute to this literature gap by exploring recent data from European Manufacturing Survey 2012.
