The findings may inform the decision-making process for firms keen on innovation-related expenditures. The paper examines 164 Kenyan firms using the World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES) data for 2018. These factors are classified into three broad categories. These are firm characteristics (age, size, and ownership), business competitiveness (export orientation, innovation strategies, and informal competition), and technology upgrade challenges (skills availability, financial constraint, and technology incompatibility). The findings reveal that approximately 11% of firms incurring R&D costs export their products (services). Exportation, skilled labor availability, and degree of informal competition correlate positively and significantly to R&D expenditure. The largest ownership (%) has a marginal effect on the outcome variable. Moreover, firm size substantially influences R&D costs, with small to medium firms incurring lower costs than their larger counterparts. However, firm age, innovation strategy, financial constraint, and technology incompatibility weakly influence the outcome variable. The product innovation strategy’s interaction effect with skills, firm age and informal competition substantially impacts R&D costs. Notably, firms’ R&D spending must be in tandem with the domestic informal competition intensity, skills availability, and foreign market targeted. The study employs the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression in examining the relationship between the predictors and the dependent variable.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1810-5467}, pages = {264-277}, orcid-numbers = {Wasike, Christopher/0000-0002-4613-9003; Bilan, Yuriy/0000-0003-0268-009X} } @article{MTMT:32721234, title = {Financial Institution Type and Firm-Related Attributes as Determinants of Loan Amounts}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32721234}, author = {Bwire Mallinguh, Edmund and Zéman, Zoltán}, doi = {10.3390/jrfm15030119}, journal-iso = {J RISK FINANC MANAG}, journal = {JOURNAL OF RISK AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT}, volume = {15}, unique-id = {32721234}, issn = {1911-8066}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1911-8074} } @article{MTMT:31783711, title = {The Business Sector, Firm Age, and Performance: The Mediating Role of Foreign Ownership and Financial Leverage}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31783711}, author = {Bwire Mallinguh, Edmund and Christopher, Wasike and Zéman, Zoltán}, doi = {10.3390/ijfs8040079}, journal-iso = {INT J FINANC STUD}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FINANCIAL STUDIES}, volume = {8}, unique-id = {31783711}, year = {2020}, eissn = {2227-7072} } @article{MTMT:31647012, title = {Technology Acquisition and Smes Performance, the Role of Innovation, Export and the Perception of Owner-Managers}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31647012}, author = {Bwire Mallinguh, Edmund and Christopher, Wasike and Zéman, Zoltán}, doi = {10.3390/jrfm13110258}, journal-iso = {J RISK FINANC MANAG}, journal = {JOURNAL OF RISK AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT}, volume = {13}, unique-id = {31647012}, issn = {1911-8066}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1911-8074} } @article{MTMT:31407281, title = {Financial Distress, Prediction, and Strategies by Firms: A Systematic Review of Literature}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31407281}, author = {Bwire Mallinguh, Edmund and Zéman, Zoltán}, doi = {10.3311/PPso.13204}, journal-iso = {PERIOD POLYTECH SOC MANAG SCI}, journal = {PERIODICA POLYTECHNICA SOCIAL AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCES}, volume = {28}, unique-id = {31407281}, issn = {1416-3837}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1587-3803}, pages = {162-176} } @article{MTMT:31338682, title = {Map of the existing research on business innovation, funding, and policy framework}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31338682}, author = {Bwire Mallinguh, Edmund and Zéman, Zoltán}, doi = {10.7341/20201626}, journal-iso = {J ENTREP MANAG INNOV}, journal = {JOURNAL OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATION}, volume = {16}, unique-id = {31338682}, issn = {2299-7075}, year = {2020}, eissn = {2299-7326}, pages = {161-202} } @article{MTMT:31314529, title = {An evaluation of the Fintech companies and the financial sector in Hungary}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31314529}, author = {Zéman, Zoltán and Bwire Mallinguh, Edmund}, journal-iso = {ECON WORK CAPITAL}, journal = {ECONOMICS & WORKING CAPITAL}, volume = {2020}, unique-id = {31314529}, issn = {2398-9491}, year = {2020}, pages = {2-9} } @article{MTMT:31309469, title = {Trademark as a Measure of Innovation Performance in Kenya}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31309469}, author = {Bwire Mallinguh, Edmund and Zéman, Zoltán}, journal-iso = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES AND BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES AND BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY}, volume = {5}, unique-id = {31309469}, year = {2020}, eissn = {2442-9368}, pages = {76-94} } @article{MTMT:30739120, title = {A Comparative Analysis of Start-UPS Within Eastern Africa Economic Block}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30739120}, author = {Bwire Mallinguh, Edmund and Zéman, Zoltán}, doi = {10.17512/pjms.2019.19.2.23}, journal-iso = {POL J OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES}, journal = {POLISH JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES}, volume = {19}, unique-id = {30739120}, issn = {2081-7452}, year = {2019}, pages = {273-284} } @{MTMT:30692472, title = {A comparative study of Hungarian and Kenyan stock markets}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30692472}, author = {Bwire Mallinguh, Edmund}, booktitle = {Business and Management Sciences: New Challenges in Theory and Practice : Conference on the 25th Anniversary of the Doctoral School of Management and Business Administration: Book of Abstracts = Gazdálkodás- és szervezéstudomány: Új kihívások az elméletben és gyakorlatban : Tudományos konferencia a Gazdálkodás és Szervezéstudományok Doktori Iskola alapításának 25. évfordulója alkalmából: Előadások összefoglalói}, unique-id = {30692472}, year = {2018}, pages = {78-78} }
