Title: Product, process and organizational innovation: drivers, complementarity and 
	 productivity effects 
Abstract: We propose a model where both R&D and ICT investment feed into a system 
	 of three innovation output equations (product, process and 
	 organizational innovation), which ultimately feeds into a productivity 
	 equation. We find that ICT investment and usage are important drivers of 
	 innovation in both manufacturing and services. Doing more R&D has a 
	 positive effect on product innovation in manufacturing. The strongest 
	 productivity effects are derived from organizational innovation. We find 
	 positive effects of product and process innovation when combined with an 
	 organizational innovation. There is evidence that organizational 
	 innovation is complementary to process innovation.
