Abstract

The choice between the subject- and the object-oriented approaches and their possible combination is one of the challenges that designers of innovation surveys face. Although the Oslo manual (OECD/Eurostat, 2018), recommends the use of these two approaches together, their combination is rarely implemented in innovation surveys. The paper presents a large-scale innovation survey in the education sector using these approaches simultaneously in a matched employer/employee data collection with a special focus on small innovations initiated at grassroots level. This study is an extended Hungarian version of a previous publication in English (Halász & Fazekas, 2021).
