  1. Surveying organisational innovation • in the German Manufacturing Survey of the Fraunhofer ISIand in the European Manufacturing Survey • Dr. Heidi Armbruster(Fraunhofer Insitute of Systems and Innovation Research)

  2. German Manufacturing Survey 2003 • Written survey with a questionnaire of eight pages sent out by Fraunhofer ISI • Germany-wide in companies of investment goods producing industries, of the chemical industry and of rubber/plastics industries with 20 or more employees • Mailed in autumn/winter 2003(fifth time after 2001, 1999, 1997 and 1995) • Responses 1,450 and a response rate of 11 % (2001: 1,630 / 1999: 1,442 / 1997: 1,329 / 1995: 1,326) • Answered by general management, plant or manufacturing managers • Next round in March 2006

Germany: Fifth Survey 2003(N = 1302) Austria: First Survey 2003(N = 161) European ManufacturingSurvey (EMS) Pilot Survey2003/2004 Next round 2006 Slovenia: First Survey 2003(N = 67) Great Britain: Pilot Survey 2004 (N = 97) Croatia: First Survey 2003(N = 42) Switzerland: Second survey 2003 (N = 233) Turkey: Pilot Survey 2004(N = 46) Greece: Survey 2006 France: Pilot survey 2004 (N = 74) Spain: Survey 2006 Italy: Pilot survey 2004

  4. Holistic approach of innovation: Topics of the survey Process innovation Organisational innovation Process Holistic approach of innovation Product innovation Product-related service innovation Product technical non-technical

  5. Topics of the survey • Manufacturing technologies: Use and planning of innovative manufacturing technologies • Relocation: Relocation and repatriation, reasons, countries/regions • Cooperation: Type of cooperation, cooperation partners • Product-related services : Offer of product-related services (build-operate-own-models) • Performance indicators: productivity, manufacturing lead times, delivery lead time, turnover with product innovations, time to market etc. • Company data: size, sector, product complexity, batch size, etc. • Organisational innovations: Use and planning of innovative organisational concepts

  8. Methodological requirements for measuring organisational innovations • Aggregation level:It is not sufficient to ask only for "organisational innovation". It is necessary to differentiate between several elements of organisational innovation. • Use or change:It is not sufficient to ask only if organisational concepts have been changed in the last xy years. It is important to collect data which organisational concepts are implemented at all. • Use or extent of use:It is not sufficient to ask only for "use" or "non-use" of organisational innovations.It is necessary to gather information about the extent of "use". • Labels or features:It is not sufficient to ask only for labels of organisational innovations like "teamwork" or "task integration"It is crucial to know the individual meaning of these labels in the different cases of adoption.
