Determinantes internos de la innovación en las empresas familiares

Zusammenfassung

This work deals with the issue of family business innovation management, specifically studying the internal key factors that determine the capacity innovation. In the first place, a review of the literature is made, both of the concept of business innovation and of the internal organizational factors that determine innovation. In a second stage, the results of the review are compared with in-depth interviews with experts in order to give a greater robustness to the research before conducting a survey that was applied to small and medium-sized business families. In addition, a theoretical framework on innovation in family enterprises is proposed, which clarifies some key concepts. A survey model is presented to evaluate the internal factors of the innovation capacity of family firms. Finally, the results of the survey applied to 127 business families and a quantitative analysis of them, as well as conclusions and final recommendations for future research, are shared.
