This research administers a questionnaire- based survey developed from the UK Innovation Survey (CIS). The survey covers quantitative and qualitative information addressing the innovation activities in the small and medium sized firms in Egypt during the period 2010-2012. The sample covers manufacturing firms in different regions in Egypt such as north, middle and Upper Egypt as well. The paper uses a logit model to study the relationship between the innovation activity and firm size and an ordered logit model to study the relationship between the sources of innovation and performance. This paper demonstrates there is a positive relationship between size firm and innovation. The main policy implications of these results are that innovation policies should explicitly identify their major objective and target group of firms. 2015-12-30T09:11:24Z 2015-12-30T09:11:24Z 2015-10 Article International Journal of Business and Technopreneurship, vol.5(3), 2015, pages 397-406 2231-7090 http://ijbt.unimap.edu.my http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/40684 en School of Business Innovation and Technopreneurship, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)
