Dimensões da inovatividade organizacional e seu impacto no desempenho inovador: Proposição e avaliação de um modelo

Abstract

The study proposes a theoretical model that represents the enabling organizational conditions for innovation (defined in the study as innovativeness) and evaluates the impact on innovation performance. Canonical correlation is employed as a way to evaluate the capacity of the model to explain the variation in innovation performance in 120 medium and large organizations located mostly in southern Brazil. The results indicate that the conditions identified are consistent in expressing innovative improvements in the surveyed companies. Moreover, the results suggest that innovative organizations that develop aspects of organizational culture, leadership and learning processes present superior performance in the development and implementation of innovations.
