Modelling and Testing Some Managerial and Organizational Factors Explaining the Innovativeness degree of Kuwaiti Small Firms
Innovation is a necessity for all firms that compete in a pervasive changing environment and highly unpredictable including-of course-small and medium size firms.Strategic choice and ecologists differ among themselves about which is most powerful or important set of factors (environment,organization,or managerial) in explaining the degree to which a firm might pursue innovative ways of doing its business.And yet,researchers generally agree that each of those sets may be employed to account for a firm innovative behavior.Very few attentions were paid to the process of building and examining a quite comprehensive model of a firm innovation using managerial and organizational factors in addition to some features of the firm managers.Such a model would be beneficial in understanding when and why a firm might end up as innovative,and uncover those barriers that prevent the firm from being innovative.The overall purpose of this research is aiming at building and testing a comprehensive model to a large degree that explains those managerial and organizational factors in addition to some managers and firms characteristics which enhance the probability of the innovative behavior in Kuwaiti small firms.
