Description
Summary:Despite the abundance of research which highlights the important role that innovation plays in improving business competitiveness in general, projects which specifically focus on social economy enterprises are not so common. This article defines the innovative behaviour of these businesses, in order to identify those elements which could prove advantageous to innovation. First we review the main factors affecting the phenomenon of business innovation and study their specific impact on social economy enterprises, with reference to the case of the autonomous Spanish region of Castilla y León. Then, using data from a survey of enterprises in a multivariate binary logistic regression model, we identify the factors which determine the innovative behaviour of social economy enterprises.
