“…Startups benefit from open innovation [12] so long as the company has signed stable agreements with institutional partners, allowing the organization to be competitive in global environments. Signing these agreements creates legal certainty in the startup, which in turn encourages entrepreneurship and innovation in the products and services offered to the market.…”

Riyadh’s entrepreneurial ecosystem is one of the most important drivers of entrepreneurship and innovation in the MENA region, as Saudi Arabia aims to achieve economic diversification within its industry, and thus reduce its dependence on oil. This paper analyzes how Riyadh’s entrepreneurial ecosystem is achieving these goals and explores the differences between entrepreneurs and owner-managers operating in the Riyadh ecosystem to identify their strengths and weaknesses in guiding Saudi policymakers’ decision-making. Using GEM data for Saudi Arabia and analyzing the ten pillars (connectivity, leadership, knowledge, talent, finance, culture, formal institutions, services and intermediaries, physical infrastructure, and demand) of the Stem model, the authors applied ANOVA tests for the quantitative variables and Chi-squared tests for the qualitative variables and rescaled the results to 0–10-point scales for ease of interpretation. We found that among the ten pillars studied, there were four that have improved the most in the Riyadh entrepreneurial ecosystem: two systemic (networks, talent) and two environmental (physical infrastructure and formal institutions), while it was in the systemic pillars (leadership, financing, and knowledge) where the least progress has been made in the period 2019–2022.

ObjectivesThe subject of the study is the issue of innovation, or more precisely, an attempt to present potential barriers preventing or limiting its implementation. The main objective of the research is to identify key anti-innovation factors (composition of key barriers) and to rank them (enterprise self-evaluation).Material and methodsThe above objectives resulted in detailed tasks including an in-depth literature search, verification of available expert knowledge and research of a representative group of entities. The research was carried out by defining a set of the most important barriers to innovation. This enabled further exploration of the issue as part of the work on the method, expert discussions and in-depth sectoral analysis (agricultural machinery - technical means of agricultural transport).ResultsThe results confirmed that the adopted research method concept is a helpful evaluation instrument. Conclusions developed as part of the surveyed entities' assessment, related to anti-innovation determinants, proved to be important for the final decisions. Theoretical and empirical considerations were based on the formulated research hypothesis and the assumptions constituting the starting point. Although the research field has been narrowed down to the agricultural machinery sector, attention has been paid to the cognitive value of work in relation to other sectors of the economy.ConclusionsIn the context of the conducted research, a catalog of barriers that significantly affect the implementation of innovations was indicated. An important point on the development map of the surveyed enterprises will be meeting the challenges related to the barriers' elimination. It is on the part of enterprises to take appropriate actions aimed at increasing efficiency and creating new management models.
