Abstract

It should be clear that this paper deals with what financial analysts think about the role of innovativeness with respect to the success of a firm, i.e. their cognitive representation or mental map with respect to this issue. These cognitions may differ from objective reality.
Two central research questions were formulated:
1. How important is innovativeness for the profitability of firms in a particular industry and how does the importance of innovativeness vary over industries?
2. What is the mechanism, at the level of the individual firm, that relates innovativeness to performance and which other factors play a role in this context?
