“…Kushnirovich and Heilbrunn [50], who use a survey from Israel, find that culture, rather than gender, has a significant impact on innovation. However, it is contrary to results of Østergaard et al [25], Horbach and Jacob [45], Nielsen, Bloch, and Schiebinger [46], and Dai, Byun, and Ding [47]. These studies find that gender diversity improves innovation.…”

“…Nielsen, Bloch, and Schiebinger [46] find that gender diversity of employees can positively influence scientific discovery and innovation by three approaches to gender diversity: (1) diversity in research teams, (2) diversity in research methods, and (3) diversity in research questions. Furthermore, in the context of new ventures, there is a positive relationship between the gender diversity of new venture firms and their innovation performance [47].…”

This study examines the impact of gender at three different positions in a firm’s hierarchy on innovative activities, looking at over 6474 firms in 30 emerging countries. We create a dummy variable for each of the six survey questions on product innovation, process innovation, organizational innovation, marketing innovation, and R&D (Research & Development) spending. Each dummy acts as a dependent variable in a separate logit regression, and the sum of the dummies acts as the dependent variable in another ordered logit regression. We use the female ownership percentage, female top management, and female majority in the workforce as test variables. We use the Heckman two-stage model to address endogeneity concerns with gender. We find that the female ownership percentage is generally positively related to individual innovation measures as well as the composite measure, while female top management is positively associated with marketing innovation only, and a female majority in the workforce is not significantly related to any measure. The results suggest that promoting innovation in emerging countries would involve governments encouraging further market participation by women and supporting female CEOs (Chief Executive Officers) to innovate, and firms fostering innovation among female workers.

“…This result differs from other studies that show that gender diversity at the firm level may be beneficial for innovation (Diaz-Garcia et al, 2014;Garcia Martinez et al, 2016;Horbach and Jacob, 2018;Østergaard et al, 2011;Ruiz-Jiménez et al, 2016). Very recently, Dai et al (2019) also found a positive relationship between the gender diversity of new venture teams and their innovation performance. Beyond innovation outcomes, gender diversity also fosters strategic change (Triana et al, 2019) and, ultimately, organizational performance (Salloum et al, 2019;Gonzalez and Denisi, 2009).…”

Both corporate social responsibility and diversity influence firms' innovation, yet their relationship and links to innovation remain uncertain, especially among small to medium-sized enterprises. Relying on strategic and institutional CSR perspectives and a value-in-diversity approach, this study examines the mediating roles of gender and nationality diversity on the CSR-innovation link at the organizational level. With a sample of 1,348 SMEs from Luxembourg, the results show that strategic CSR can promote both types of diversity, but only nationality diversity triggers technological innovation. Nationality diversity emerges as a partial mediator of the relationship between CSR and SMEs' technological innovation. Thus, strategic CSR, through the genuine pursuit of such diversity, can help SMEs attain positive returns on their product or process innovation. These results have important theoretical and managerial implications.
