Abstract: This note uses an unique dataset to investigate respectively : - the effects of managerial efficiency on the firm’s innovative activity ; - the effects of controlling explicitly for managerial efficiency on the SCHUMPETERIAN relationship that firm size and market concentration are both conductive to innovation. The key findings are : - managerial efficiency is an important factor which shapes the firm’s innovation performance ; - only when one controls for managerial variables considered as success factors for innovation, the Schumpeterian effect of the impact of the firm’s market share emerges for a wide range of measures of performance, which confirms ROTHWELL’s (1986) suggestion that small firms have a managerial advantage in innovation.
