“…The positive relationship between organisational and management innovation and a firm's performance and success is also demonstrated by Kraus et al (2012), Gallego et al (2012), and others (Evangelista and Vezzani 2010). On the other hand, literature studies show that some surveys on the relationship between innovation and performance revealed no such connections (Hilami et al 2010).…”

Management innovation, pro-innovation organisational culture and enterprise performance: testing the mediation effect

The interest in management innovation (MI) is growing and the conviction about its significant role in boosting an enterprise's competitive advantage and performance has recently gained ground. The studies on MI and its relationships with enterprise performance, which are relatively scarce in literature, indicate the complexity of these relationships. This inspired us to propose the management innovation construct and its operationalisation, which allowed for the empirical verification of the relationships between management innovation and enterprise performance. Simultaneously, we adopted the hypothesis on the mediating role of pro-innovation organisational culture. The aim of this article, therefore, is to study the relationships between MI and enterprise performance as well as to determine what role is played by pro-innovation organisational culture in these relationships. In order to do that, we conducted a survey of 301 companies based in Poland. Our research results confirmed the existence of relationships between management innovation and enterprise performance in the survey sample, although they were not very strong. Additionally, the hypothesis about the mediating role of organisational culture was also partially supported. The results of our study enrich the knowledge about the role of MI in stimulating enterprise performance and the role of proinnovation organisational culture. We also discuss the implications for further research and management practice.

“…The nomological validity of the developed scale was analyzed by hypothesizing that the sustained innovation capability of a firm is one of the determinants of competitive performance, as noted in the literature [46][47][48]. The hypothesis was examined by measuring the competitive performance of a firm through the product and process competitive performances.…”

Abstract:The business environment is currently characterized by intensified competition at both the national and firm levels. Many studies have shown that innovation positively affect firms in enhancing their competitiveness. Innovation is a dynamic process that requires a continuous, evolving, and mastered management. Evaluating the sustainability of overall innovation capability of a business is a major means of determining how well this firm effectively and efficiently manages its innovation process. A psychometrically valid scale of evaluating the sustainability of overall innovation capability of a firm is still insufficient in the current innovation literature. Thus, this study developed a reliable and valid scale of measuring the sustainability of overall innovation capability construct. The unidimensionality, reliability, and several validity components of the developed scale were tested using the data collected from 175 small and medium-sized enterprises in Iran. A series of systematic statistical analyses were performed. Results of the reliability measures, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and several components of validity tests strongly supported an eight-dimensional (8D) scale of measuring the sustainability of overall innovation capability construct. The dimensions of the scale were strategic management, supportive culture and OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 538 structure, resource allocation, communication and networking, knowledge and technology management, idea management, project development, and commercialization capabilities.

“…However, the influence of these innovations on firm's innovation performance (firms actually innovating and profiting from innovation) was not found (Mothe & Thi, 2010). Evangelista and Vezzani (2010) have a different conclusion. Firms with an overall focus on product, process and organizational (technological and non-technological) innovations have a competitive advantage over non-innovative firms or those with partial innovation focus.…”
