However, in spite of the growing attention to the role of R&D activity, we are still lacking satisfactory methods to assess its economic value. Indeed, the valuation of technological assets is complicated by several difficulties related to both the very nature of the knowledge generated through the R&D investments and the uncertainty connected to the subsequent technology commercialization. This shortcoming affects several important funding decisions inside and outside the firm. However, a stream of empirical literature drawing from the fields of industrial organization and financial economics has extensively coped with the questions concerning the valuation of firms? innovation activities by the financial markets. In this respect, several different estimation methodologies, data sources and variables have been adopted. The objective of this article is to review the methods and the results of these studies in a systematic way and suggest the potential contributions they can provide to the literature on the management of innovation. In the conclusions, this article also highlights the main insights that the empirical literature reviewed could gain from the firm-level studies on the determinants of innovation performance.

However, the methodological basis and the assumptions that characterize contributions concerning value appropriation, on the one hand, and value creation, on the other, are notably different and in many respects opposite to one another. These profound methodological differences hinder the possibility of a combined consideration of value appropriation and value creation issues within a unitary interpretative framework (Schultze, 1994). By reinterpreting more conventional strategy studies in the light of the neoAustrian process view, this article builds a framework which is able to consider and render mutually compatible both value appropriation and value creation within the unitary process of firm development. In addition, the use of the neoAustrian approach as an interpretative lense enables an evolution of the resource-based theory that consents it, not only to grasp the mechanisms behind value appropriation, but also to suggest new ways of viewing post-industrial firm behavior that help to interpret its dynamic and proactive role in the value creation process.

But global crises show their consequences also at a local level. In Tuscany, after some years of optimism in which ICT was thought to be one of the possible drivers of future growth, a careful analysis needs now to be undertaken in order to assess the real solidity of ICT-related activities, in particular with regard to innovative capability. The empirical evidence presented in this paper is based on the results of a survey realised in 2001. Thanks to a cluster analysis performed on a sample of 263 firms, the main typologies of ICT firms in Tuscany are identified. These are classified on the basis of a wide set of variables size, R&D intensity, main markets, sources of innovation, human capital-, in order to assess their potential for technological innovation. Through this analysis four main typologies are identified, among which innovative firms (i. e. those delivering products or services which are close to the (technological frontier) represent a small minority. Instead ICT firms in Tuscany are specialized in less advanced activities, like customer-relationship services on behalf of large national firms, standard hardware assembling, software development or customisation for local SMEs. It seems thus unlikely that these firms will be one of the main driver for future regional growth, unless effective policies are developed at a regional and local level.
