Abstract(s)
Num contexto global de rápidas mudanças tecnológicas e elevada competitividade, a inovação é fundamental para o desenvolvimento económico e sustentabilidade das organizações. No entanto, as empresas da União Europeia enfrentam diversas barreiras que podem limitar a sua capacidade inovadora. O objetivo desta dissertação é identificar e analisar a relação entre as barreiras à inovação e a capacidade inovadora das empresas nos países da UE, abrangendo seis dimensões da inovação empresarial: inovação no produto ou serviço, inovação no processo, inovação organizacional, inovação no marketing e inovação na sustentabilidade ambiental e social. Para atingir este objetivo, implementou-se uma abordagem quantitativa, utilizando dados secundários do inquérito Flash Eurobarometer No. 486, aplicado a uma amostra de 12.571 empresas dos 27 países membros da UE. A análise dos dados foi realizada através de modelos de regressão logística, considerando as barreiras à inovação como variáveis independentes e a capacidade inovadora como variável dependente. Os resultados indicam que as barreiras à inovação influenciam significativamente a capacidade inovadora das empresas. Em particular, a falta de competências, incluindo competências de gestão, as dificuldades em prever a resposta do mercado, falta de parceiros para colaborar em projetos de inovação, o ambiente legal ou administrativo e as dificuldades em proteger a propriedade intelectual foram identificadas como barreiras que limitam a inovação nas diversas dimensões analisadas. Esta investigação contribui para o aprofundamento do conhecimento sobre o impacto específico das barreiras à inovação na capacidade inovadora empresarial nos países da UE, preenchendo uma lacuna na literatura existente. A originalidade deste trabalho reside na abordagem abrangente das diferentes dimensões da inovação e na análise empírica das barreiras que as influenciam, utilizando uma amostra representativa a nível europeu. As implicações práticas deste estudo consistem em fornecer bases para a formulação de políticas públicas e estratégias empresariais que visem mitigar as barreiras identificadas e potenciar a capacidade inovadora das empresas, contribuindo para a competitividade e o crescimento económico na União Europeia.
In a global context of rapid technological changes and high competitiveness, innovation is fundamental for the economic development and sustainability of organizations. However, companies in the European Union face various barriers that can limit their innovative capacity. The objective of this dissertation is to identify and analyze the relationship between barriers to innovation and the innovative capacity of companies in EU countries, encompassing six dimensions of business innovation: product or service innovation, process innovation, organizational innovation, marketing innovation, and innovation in environmental and social sustainability. To achieve this objective, a quantitative approach was adopted, utilizing secondary data from Flash Eurobarometer Survey No. 486, applied to a sample of 12,571 companies from the 27 EU member countries. Data analysis was conducted using logistic regression models, considering barriers to innovation as independent variables and innovative capacity as the dependent variable. The results indicate that barriers to innovation significantly affect the innovative capacity of companies. In particular, the lack of skills, including management skills, difficulties in predicting market response, a shortage of partners for collaboration on innovation projects, the legal or administrative environment, and challenges in protecting intellectual property were identified as barriers that limit innovation across the various dimensions analyzed. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the specific impact of barriers to innovation on the innovative capacity of companies in EU countries, filling a gap in the existing literature. The originality of this work lies in its comprehensive approach to different dimensions of innovation and the empirical analysis of the barriers that influence them, using a representative sample at the European level. The practical implications of this study involve providing a basis for the formulation of public policies and business strategies aimed at mitigating the identified barriers and enhancing the innovative capacity of companies, thereby contributing to competitiveness and economic growth in the European Union.
