| description | Innovation cycles have a direct influence on the level of economic activity and the phase of economic
cycle. Furthermore, they influence the development of new branches of economy, industries, technologies,
business models and products. The concept of innovation cycles can be seen as non-monetary concept of
economic cycles and consequently as an alternative model to interpret the intensity and the direction of
eqity issues on capital markets. The theory of long waves, the theory of secular market cycles and other
contributions to the problem of economic cycles are partly explained within the theory of innovation cycles.
The contemporary business environment was hard to predict only ten years ago, so that the innovation
phenomenon deserves a special place in theoretical considerations. Based on the research conducted by
Business Week-Boston Consulting Group 2007 of twenty-five largest, most innovative companies in the
world today (measured by market capitalization), this paper tests the relative performance of their shares, i.e.
the evolution of market capitalization of listed companies with respect to the reference market index in the
longer time span. The objective is to prove or disprove the hypothesis that innovative companies generate
stronger growth than the economy as a whole, although their size is such that their aggregate growth could
be conventionally observed as the growth of the economy, i.e. the sector they are in. Thus the results of the
research gain their pragmatic implementation aspect and prove that the innovation component present in
the decision-making processes in business decisions, investment analysis and business strategy, and in investment
decisions generally merits careful consideration. |
