It is widely recognized in the theoretical literature that firms need to use both internal andexternal sources of innovation to gain a competitive advantage. However, although it isassumed that internal and external sources of innovation have distinct relationships withfirm capabilities, it is not clear how various innovation sources affect such capabilities, orhow or to what extent such relationships affect product competitiveness. This paperexamines the effect of diverse sources of innovation on a firm’s technological innovationcapabilities and the extent to which such capabilities mediate the improvement of productcompetitiveness. Based on a survey of 200 manufacturing firms in Hong Kong and the PearlRiver Delta region, we identify internal departments as a major source of innovation forimproving a range of firm capabilities. Acquiring disembodied technology improveslearning, resource allocation and organizing capabilities, whereas acquiring embodiedtechnology enhances learning and manufacturing capabilities. We use a hierarchicalregression analysis to demonstrate that some sources of innovation, such as internaldepartments, can lead directly to superior product competitiveness, whereas innovationsacquired through conferences and competitors contribute to competitiveness through themediation effects of resource allocation, marketing and organizing capabilities.

<P><B>Objective</B></P><P>We investigated the incidence and seasonal patterns of child maltreatment hospitalisations in Hong Kong.</P><P><B>Design</B></P><P>A retrospective study of subjects aged under 19 years with a primary diagnosis of child maltreatment admitted to hospitals in Hong Kong from 2001 to 2010. Data were retrieved from the centralised database of all 42 public hospitals in the Hospital Authority.</P><P><B>Main outcome measures</B></P><P>Child maltreatment incidence rate.</P><P><B>Results</B></P><P>A consistent seasonal pattern was found for non-sexual maltreatment in children aged 6–18 years (p<0.001). Hospitalisations peaked in May and October but dipped in August and January. No significant seasonal patterns were found for sexual maltreatment or among children under 6 years. The seasonal pattern of child maltreatment coincided with the two school examination periods. The annual child maltreatment hospitalisation rate in Hong Kong in 2010 was 73.4 per 100 000 children under 19 years, more than double that in 2001.</P><P><B>Conclusions</B></P><P>A peculiar seasonal pattern and an alarming increasing trend in child maltreatment hospitalisation were observed in Hong Kong, which we speculated to be related to school examination stress and increasing socioeconomic disparity. Our findings highlighted differences in the trends of child maltreatment between Hong Kong and the West. Professionals and policymakers should be made aware of these trends and develop effective strategies to tackle child maltreatment.</P>
