Recent studies in Brazil consider innovation from a restricted perspective, focusing on specific cases (Ceolin et al, 2023), or an exclusive segment (Cabral da Silva & Correia, 2021). Therefore, there is a need to broaden research to include the validation of a scale, considering multiple aspects.…”

Inovação organizacional: Validação de uma escala multidimensional para micro e pequenas empresas

“…Porém, esses direcionamentos ainda carecem de novas comprovações empíricas (Sawhney et al, 2006;Chen & Sawhney, 2010;McGuirk et al, 2015;Oliva et al, 2019). Estudos recentes no Brasil remetem a inovação sob um viés restrito, trazendo casos específicos (Ceolin et al, 2023), ou direcionada a um segmento exclusivo (Cabral da Silva & Correia, 2021). Portanto, cabe a necessidade de um estudo mais amplo que contemple a validação de uma escala, considerando múltiplos aspectos.…”
