Data of 510 manufacturers used in this paper was extracted from the survey campaign by the MOST. Via statistical analysis, findings indicated that only a humble share of Vietnamese companies is currently performing innovative activities. These firms invest the most on new technology. When it comes to the relationship between innovative performance and firm performance, significant regressive relationships have been found yet, the results are dissimilar across industries. Besides, innovative performance displayed mixed effects on performance, which seems to confirm previous literatures' diverse receptions about this topic. date: 2018 date_type: published publisher: Springer official_url: http://www.economicsbulletin.com/ full_text_status: none publication: Economics Bulletin volume: 38 number: 3 pagerange: 1457-1466 refereed: TRUE issn: 1545-2921 citation: Hoa Trong, Hoang and Pham The, Dung and Nguyen Dinh, Duc (2018) Innovation practices at Vietnamese manufactures: the impacts of innovation on profitability and growth.
