Innovation barriers: factors hamper this business’s ability to innovate, develop or introduce of any new or significantly improved activity for the business.

Māori authority: having a Māori business flag on the Business Register. This flag denotes:
• business with a collectively managed asset, which uses current Inland Revenue eligibility criteria to be a Māori authority (irrespective of whether the enterprise elects to be a Māori authority for tax purposes)

• the business owner(s) define it as a Māori business
• it is not owned by another enterprise

This data is derived from the Business Operations Survey, which is used to collect performance measures from New Zealand businesses to better understand the practices and behaviours they undertake which may have an impact on their performance. These statistics feed into policy and microdata research that helps identify the current situation of the New Zealand business environment, as well as potential areas of improvement. The survey covers all businesses in New Zealand that have 6 or more employees, and have been active for one year or more.

This data was sourced from module B of the Business Operations Survey, which alternates between Innovation (odd years) and ICT (even years).
The objective of the innovation module is to provide information on the characteristics of innovation in New Zealand's private-sector businesses. This information will enable the development of policy that will facilitate innovation, and understand the dynamics of innovative businesses.
Businesses were asked to mark the degree (high, medium or low) to which their business innovation was hampered according to each category:
• costs to develop or introduce
• lack of information
• lack of marketing expertise
• lack of co-operation with other businesses
• access to intellectual property rights (eg licensing of patents or copyrights)
• lack of appropriate personnel
• lack of management resources (eg time)
• government regulation.
