“…Schumpeter (como se citó en Demirci, 2013) es el primer economista que trató los conceptos de "emprendimiento" e "innovación" juntos. Él definió al emprendedor como una persona que combina los factores existentes en una única y novedosa manera de ofrecer valor.…”

Usualmente, los elementos relacionados con el emprendimiento se analizan por separado, situación que puede conducir a los interesados a perder la visión holística que lo caracteriza. El objetivo de este artículo es proponer elementos de juicio para ampliar la discusión y posterior realización de estudios empíricos que conduzcan a fortalecer el estado del arte del tema. Para ello, se utilizó la técnica de revisión documental enfocada en seis elementos conceptuales atados al emprendimiento, que van desde lo personal (características del emprendedor, liderazgo, personalidad, capital relacional) hasta lo estructural (emprendimiento corporativo, ecosistema emprendedor). Los resultados se concentran en resaltar las relaciones que se dan entre cada uno de los elementos y el emprendimiento, para evidenciar una fuerte influencia de cada uno de ellos en el quehacer del emprendedor. Se proponen algunas líneas de investigación alrededor de la relación entre el ejercicio del liderazgo y el éxito de los emprendimientos en regiones específicas; así como el efecto del capital relacional en los nuevos emprendimientos individuales y en las empresas.

“…Formalization and centralization are among the primary factors associated with hierarchical culture. The degree of hierarchy of authority is a conventional measure of centralization within the organization ( Van de Ven, 1976) and centralization tends to be more evident in the organizations where highly formal practices exist (Demirci, 2013).…”

Innovation is still one of the most debated topics among the academics and business professionals. The question of how organizations innovate captures attention from many disciplines and leads to extensive amount of research. Although there are many variables that affect an organization's innovative performance, organizational culture can be considered as a key issue as it is strongly associated with the values, attitudes, behaviors and organizational practices. As organizations have different cultural profiles and, in many cases, competing cultural values exist within the organization simultaneously, it is difficult to build one-dimensional linkages about the relations between organizational culture and innovativeness.This study aims to analyze the relations between innovativeness and four different organizational cultures including team, entrepreneurial, hierarchical and rational cultures. A sample of 371 surveys was collected from five leading companies operating in the chemicals industry in Eskisehir, Turkey.

“…On similar lines, various researchers linked organizational structure to innovation. Demrici (2013) and Gürkan and Tükeltürk (2017) suggested autonomous structures that can act independently in order to capture new opportunities and manage risks. Further, Cummings, and Worley (2015) argued that organizational structure can provide adequate provisions for knowledge transfer, which can facilitate innovation.…”

The study proposes an organizational design framework that impacts innovation in corporate firms. In an emerging economy like Oman, innovation helps to reduce the dependence on oil revenues and enhance its international competitiveness. However, the corporate organizations in emerging economies are unable to innovate effectively because they are not designed for innovation. Further, scarcity of resources undermines their readiness for innovation. This study empirically validates measures of an entrepreneurial organizational design framework in Omani corporate sector. In order to explain how a corporate organizational design promotes innovation and clarify the missing links between corporate entrepreneurial activity and innovation, the mediating role of readiness for innovation (RFI) is tested. Using a quantitative research approach, data is collected from 401 corporate firms in Oman and analysed using structural equation modelling. The findings support the proposition that entrepreneurial organizational design promotes both radical and incremental innovation degree and frequency, while RFI partially mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial inputs and innovation outputs. The study contributes to the understanding of innovation in emerging economies as it explains that RFI helps firms to enhance its innovation potential by optimizing its resources, capabilities and processes for innovation. These measures are essential for organizations, particularly in emerging economies focused on low cost innovation. The findings of the study will inform managerial decision-making in terms of designing organizations for innovation and implementation of measures related to readiness for innovation.
