Abstract
This report provides a sense of the profile of the innovation patterns in the South African manufacturing sector, using data drawn from the South African Business Innovation Survey, 2010 - 2012. It is based on 328 manufacturing enterprises that responded to the survey questionnaire. Available data was used to compute standard indicators covering technological innovation; new or significantly improved goods or services; the implementation of new or significantly improved processes; or ongoing/abandoned innovation for products and processes.-
