Abstract

The study investigates the influence of CEO attributes on innovation outcomes on all firms listed on the SBF120 index between 2001 and 2013. We provide the following results. First, CEOs who graduate in business are less prone to introduce new products, while science-educated CEOs are more likely to increase the number of patents in high-technology firms. Second, the longer is the CEO tenure, the lower are the innovation outcomes, specifically in high-tech industry. Third, CEO owners are likely to invest in long-term profitable activities such as innovative projects. This drives more innovation outcomes. CEO founders, however, are more concerned about the implementation of new processes. Finally, robustness tests show that the number of patents decreases, on the long term, in the presence of female CEOs.

Some R&D experts may join R&D project in the course of the year. Taking into account the number of R&D experts, end of the fiscal year is a biased proxy for R&D incomes. Accordingly, we consider the total number of hours they spend on R&D projects.
 
11
We did not consider the variable women CEO in PROD and PROC regressions as firms introducing those innovations most often, did not appoint woman to the CEO position. Hence models cannot predict any association between women CEOs and the likelihood of introducing innovations.
