Preliminary evidence from Portuguese CIS 2012

Paris, 5-6 December 2013

Introduction

The Community Innovation Survey (CIS) is the main data source for measuring innovation in Europe.

The CIS 2012 is carried out according to the EU-wide definitions of the 3rd

edition of Oslo Manual.

CIS 2012 was carried out in Portugal by DGEEC, whose competences are delegated by Statistics Portugal (INE).

The survey was launched on the 3rd of June 2013 on an on-line platform specially designed for this statistical operation.

OECD WORKSHOP ON MEASURING THE LINK BETWEEN PUBLIC PROCUREMENT, R&D AND INNOVATION 2

Methodology Portuguese CIS 20102 covers the following information of the enterprise:

Product, process and ongoing or abandoned innovations

Activities and expenditures for product and process innovations

Public financial support for innovation activities

Source of information for innovation activities

Innovation co-operation

Competitiveness of product and process innovations

User orientation in innovation activities and in production of innovative products (National

questions)

Organizational and Marketing innovation

Public sector procurement and innovation

Strategies and obstacles for reaching enterprise’s goals


Methodology

The Portuguese implementation of CIS 2012 covers the core target population.

Some core target population with more detailed breakdowns (NACE divisions 15-18, 22-25, 28, 32-33, 38, 46, 49, 58 and 63) and some additional NACE mentioned in European recommendations (NACE divisions 42, 43, 47.1, 69, 74-75) and NACE 86 on full voluntary basis.

All three stratification variables (the economic activities in accordance with NACE, the size-classes and Regional aspects at NUTS 2 level) were used.

A stratified sample of 8,045 enterprises, representing a total population of 21,061, resulted in a response rate until now of 81.4%.



Difficulties experienced in the implementation of public procurement questions in Portuguese CIS 2012

During the period of CIS 2012 data collection, most of the enterprises didn’t have any difficulties answering questions about public sector procurement.

When calling the support line, the enterprises expressed more difficulties in innovation concepts and issues about expenditures and innovation activities.

In Portuguese CIS 2012 data, we didn’t have non responses in questions related with public sector procurement, because the online platform was designed so that all Eurostat’s harmonized questions were mandatory.
