“…Therefore, the present paper recognizes the key research gap in the existing literature on how the relationship with external partners can bring the information needed to adopt an extensive range of internal organizational innovation practices, which might enhance firm performance at the workplace. As observed in the literature, scholars emphasis on the impact of external knowledge sources from customers in general (without delineating customers from the public and private sector), competitors, suppliers, public research institute and its impact is limited to product innovation (Tsai, 2009;Fitjar and Rodríguez-Pose, 2013;Köhler et al, 2012) and on internal and external R&D activities (Pejić Bach et al, 2015). Research conducted on various external sources of knowledge and their effect on organizational innovation is scarce.…”

Background: Firms increasingly depend on external actors for the process of generating innovation. Interaction with these actors might occur through an official collaboration agreement or via external actors as the source of information. Objectives: Although open innovation has received more attention, still less is known about its effect on organizational innovation. To fill this gap, this study investigates the impact of various external knowledge sources on the willingness of small and mediumsized enterprises to introduce organizational innovation. Methods/Approach: To achieve the proposed objective, the German Community Innovation Survey conducted in 2017 is used for the econometric analysis. Results: Different external sources of knowledge are relevant for the introduction of organizational innovation in small firms (customers in the private sector, competitors, conferences, and crowdsourcing) compared to medium-sized firms (customers in the private sector and industry associations). Conclusions: External knowledge sources are more important for small firms compared to medium firms, and those small firms are more likely to use various sets of external knowledge.

“…Companies receive market information primarily from customers and consumers. Customers provide information about their needs (Pejić Bach et al 2015) and their experiences with the products (Gu et al 2016). Cooperation with external market actors such as customers, suppliers, competitors, and consultants allows for an increasing flow of external knowledge to the company (Chang and Taylor 2016;Estrada et al 2016;Kumar et al 2017).…”

“…When innovation is carried out using market information, the company obtains knowledge about customer needs (Pejić Bach et al 2015) and their experience with products (Gu et al 2016). With market information, the company can develop the most appropriate innovation for their customer's needs.…”

“…For the variable size of the company, the number of workers was considered as a measure. This criterion has been used in the literature (Díaz-Díaz and De Saá-Pérez 2014; Gu et al 2016;Pejić Bach et al 2015;Robinson and Stubberud 2011). For the variable seniority of the company, the time the company has been in the business was considered a measure (Gu et al 2016;Lefebvre et al 2015).…”

Barriers to Innovations and Innovative Performance of Companies: A Study from Ecuador

This research aimed to examine the relationship between the barriers to the development of innovation and innovative performance. This is a quantitative, not experimental, cross-sectional research, and the National Survey of Innovation Activities of Ecuador is used. Bivariate Probit regression was used to process the data. The results show empirical evidence that Ecuadorian companies have a great number of barriers to innovation. The main barriers to product innovation and process innovation are as follows: lack of company funds, high costs of innovation, and lack of qualified personnel in the company and the country. In addition product innovation is affected by the lack of market information, and process innovation is affected by the lack of financing from external sources, lack of information on technology, and a market dominated by established companies. The research has theoretical implications because it contributes empirical evidence on the relationship between innovation barriers and innovative performance in developing countries where evidence is scarce. The research has practical implications because it serves as a basis for forming public policies. Business managers and administrators can improve innovative performance by minimizing the impact of the main barriers to innovation.
