Factors driving open innovation in SMEs in the fruit and vegetable sector
Main Article Content
Keywords
Exploitation, fruit and vegetable, open innovation, SMEs, entrepreneurial orientation
Abstract
Objective: this empirical study evaluates how depth, exploitation, entrepreneurial orientation, and absorption capacity contribute to the formation of the open innovation construct in the context of small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the fruit and vegetable sector. Method: the study is based on a sample of 102 SMEs from the fruit and vegetable sector in the northern region of Valle del Cauca (Colombia) and employs multivariate analysis through structural equation modeling. Results: the findings confirm a positive relation between entrepreneurial orientation and exploitation with open innovation, with the former having a stronger relation. Depth has a nonsignificant negative effect on open innovation. A relation between absorptive capacity and open innovation cannot be verified. Conclusions: these findings suggest that exploitation and entrepreneurial orientation are antecedents of open innovation in SMEs. Therefore, the strategies of the National Agricultural Innovation System should be aimed at strengthening these capacities to improve the conditions of the fruit and vegetable sector in Colombia. In addition, the literature indicates a scarcity of studies in this area of research.
