Innovation is the main factor for continuous growth and obtaining advantage of competition todays. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how innovation occurs and which factors effective on the mechanism of the emergence of innovation. The impact of factors in developed and developing countries differ in the process of innovation is the hypothesis of this study. Therefore, the developed and developing countries are inquired separately. The country samples used in this study are selected from the World Bank's classification of countries depending on their per capita gross domestic incomes (GDP). The innovation model is examined with dynamic ordinary least squares method (DOLS) using the data of 26 developed and 18 developing countries for the period 1998-2007. By using the existing theorical and empirical studies, the independent variables are defined as per capita GDP, R&D expenditures, human capital, foreign direct investments, trade openness and intellectual property rights. The number of domestic patents, which represents innovation, is used as the dependent variable.
