Description:
The latest dataset relating to UKIS 2023 covers the survey period 2020 to 2022 and has 14,570 records with over 180 variables. The bulk of the variables are as set out in a questionnaire developed originally by Eurostat/ OECD.
UKIS is undertaken as a cross-sectional study covering a three-year period each time (e.g. 2020 to 2022 for the latest UKIS 2023). Similar datasets are available going all the way back to 1997.
For each round, analyses can be undertaken on the micro dataset which has results based on the core questionnaire which focusses on business adoption of innovation through new and improved products and services, investments in different types of innovation, and changes in business structures, management, design, and marketing innovations. The survey also asks businesses about the drivers which motivate and barriers to innovation.
Assessment of changes in innovation behaviour by businesses over time can be undertaken by constructing a longitudinal panel dataset covering for example the last three UKIS surveys (2019, 2021 and 2023 say) – this is based on a subsample of businesses that responded to the questionnaire in each of these surveys.
