4. THE INNOVATION STATISTICS PROJECT

The Innovation Survey Group has conducted two rounds of innovation surveys. The first was in respect of 1993-94 and the second in respect of 1996-97. Both surveys were mainly concerned with details of the innovation process in the Manufacturing industries, however, the 1993-94 survey also included some information in respect of other industries.

The types of information available from the 1996-97 manufacturing survey include:

the level and types of innovation in Australian manufacturing;
some characteristics of innovating businesses;
the innovation capabilities of manufacturers;
the impact of innovation on the business;
qualitative aspects of innovative manufacturers; and
case studies of implemented innovations.

Results from the surveys are available in the following publications:

8116.0 Innovation in Manufacturing
8121.0 Innovation in Mining
8118.0 Innovation in Selected Industries.

The ABS is currently moving away from the idea of directly measuring innovation. Instead, we are investigating whether we can produce a range of statistical indicators on the knowledge based economy and society. We are at a very early stage of thinking on what this entails ... so please contact us if you would like to contribute ideas.
