Measuring process innovation outputs and understanding their implications for firms and workers: Evidence from Pakistan
June 23, 2024
Abstract
New processes significantly affect firms and workers; however, due to a lack of quantitative indicators, our understanding of the measures, determinants, and impacts of new processes remains limited. Drawing on unique data from Pakistan, we analyzed five different measures of process innovation output: cost reductions, defect rate reductions, reductions in production cycle time, increases in production capacity, and improvement in product quality. We find that the breadth and depth of innovative capabilities, level of competition, and availability of market sources of knowledge are important inducers of process innovation and that smaller firms are more likely to introduce new processes and are better able to transform them into higher output. All five process innovation outputs are associated with higher labor productivity and higher sales. We do not find that adopting new processes led to labor displacement; however, there is suggestive evidence that new processes led to the increased employment of skilled workers.

Digital Marketing Workshops
Mr. Asim Malik conducted a 3-Session Workshop on Performance and Digital Marketing from 29-31 May 2024 at the Lahore School of Economics - University of Colombo Summer Camp 2024. During the 3 sessions he elaborated on Performance Marketing, whether Digital Advertising was ATL or BTL, advantages of digital marketing, the Digital landscape of Pakistan, Brand Safety, abuse of social media, digital marketing strategies, definitions and operationalizations of key digital marketing metrics and KPIs, a ‘view’, MAU and DAU, recommended exposures, cohort overlaps, publishers and tracking displays of content, assets and the use of Keywords, types of audiences, and finally Attribution models and customer journeys. (All the abbreviations are explained below).
Asim noted at the beginning that Performance Marketing was based on conversion campaigns designed to drive sales and revenue. This was located within the Digital landscape which has changed in part and largely due to the ubiquitous presence and usage of the smart phone, as illustrated by the term ‘Nomophobia’ (anxiety and fear of being detached from mobile phone connectivity). In fact, our world is now moving forward to ‘Digital First Approach’.
