Abstract
This paper intends to provide an overview of the technological innovation in the Spanish wood-based industry. This characterization will be carried out through the analysis of a set of indicators based on both secondary and primary data, the later obtained from a survey taken in 2007. Results indicate a weakness and backwardness in the innovation activities performed in the forest industry, with respect to the overall Spanish manufacturing industry. This gap is wider in the case of R&D activities. However, it is necessary to indicate that the important limitations observed in the way firms carry out their innovation activities, are shared with the overall traditional manufacturing sectors.Downloads
