Abstract

The UK Innovation Survey is a biennial survey of the level, types and trends in innovation activity in the UK, and is a valuable resource for managers, policy makers and researchers. The most recent survey (UKIS 2009) was sent to 28,000 UK enterprises with 10 or more employees, and aggregate data has just been released.

Survey questions are concerned with product and process innovation, as well as containing a set of metrics exploring wider innovation. Amongst other things, the survey also gathers data on firm investments in innovation, what drives firms to innovate, the barriers to innovation that firms encounter and the nature and contribution of knowledge collaborations. With the release of UKIS 2009, data from four broadly similar surveys (2001, 2005 and 2007) is now available providing opportunity for longitudinal and panel data analysis.
