Determinants of Innovative Behaviour: A Firm's internal Practices and Its External Environment

摘要

Companies need innovations to remain in business. This enjoins upon them, on one hand, to keep their innovation causeways clear, and on the other, to drive the efforts to the preferred innovation destinations with more clarity. Innovative behaviors are the purposeful blends of both these simultaneous actions. Although innovation is regarded as a natural trait of human beings, companies are required to put energy toward their preferred directions. This determines the collective innovative behavior, which shows up and propels the companies when they compete with one another. Some are doing this well and some not so well, which helps explain how some still exist and some become extinct.
