Innovation in UK companies: Examining Drivers and Benefits

Introduction

This survey aims to help you by providing us with detailed information on the current state of innovation practices in UK companies. We will send all participants a copy of the findings of the survey, and also provide copies to Innovate UK and other agencies so they can consider the findings as they develop their future innovation support programmes. The survey is supported by UK Research Councils in collaboration with Innovate UK (formerly the Technology Strategy Board); it should take less than half an hour to complete. We will donate £5 to SmileTrain.org.uk for each completed survey.

Confidentiality of Information: Please answer as many questions as you can. Estimates are acceptable when precise answers are not readily available. Data will be held securely and confidentially in accordance with the UK Data Protection Act; no individual companies will be identified, and only aggregated findings will be made public.
