Abstract

This study analyzes some of the determinants of product innovation in the case of entrepreneurs from the transformation industries, using a model estimated via the Partial Least Square method, to establish whether these determinants change according to whether they are found in developed or developing countries. Such factors include human capital, technology, the degree of market competition, expectations or economic performance. The research also analyzes the effects these factors have on product innovation and some of the determining factors for innovation in the internationalization of entrepreneurial businesses from the transformation industries.

The GEM observatory distinguishes between four main sectors of activity: extractive, transformation, services to firms and consumer-based services. Thus, the transformation industries essentially include manufacturing and construction. The data were analyzed with basic descriptive statistical methods using SPSS software, merely with a view to separately obtaining data from entrepreneurs in the transformation industries.

USA, Russia, Holland, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, UK, Norway and Finland.

Romania, Peru, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Lithuania, Serbia, Slovenia, Venezuela and Uruguay.

These questions are: Do public policies help new firms? Are universities and public research centres efficient in transferring technology to entrepreneurial initiatives?.

In this case, the responses are an average score from the responses of the experts, where the minimum value is 1 and the maximum is 5.
