Abstract

Purpose The aim of this study is to investigate potential relationships between the corporate governance system and the innovation development process, with a specific focus on the agri-food sector in the Tunisian context. Design/methodology/approach Most studies on innovation management have shown the collective nature of the innovation process, resulting from the multiple interactions that can be established between various actors, internal and external to the enterprise perimeter, which is increasingly digitally open, especially in the COVID-19 era. More specifically, the implementation of an innovation strategy is a risky issue for businesses, most of all when considering its financial requirements and impacts, and thus, appropriate management plays a relevant role in this respect. Findings Statistical tests, operated on a sample of 80 Tunisian companies, show that the style of management and the concentration of ownership exert significant influence on the dynamism of technological innovation in the agri-food sector. Originality/value The involvement and the commitment of institutional investors can contribute to stimulate the innovation process in the agri-food sector, providing related implications with significant impact, at the scientific and managerial level.

股权结构与技术创新:对突尼斯农业食品公司的调查
本研究的目的是调查公司治理制度和创新发展过程之间的潜在关系,特别关注突尼斯背景下的农业食品部门。大多数关于创新管理的研究都表明,创新过程具有集体性,这是企业内部和外部各种参与者之间可以建立的多重互动的结果,尤其是在新冠肺炎时代,企业的数字化开放程度越来越高。更具体地说,创新战略的实施对企业来说是一个有风险的问题,尤其是在考虑其财务要求和影响时,因此,适当的管理在这方面起着相关的作用。对80家突尼斯公司样本进行的统计测试表明,管理方式和所有权集中对农业食品部门技术创新的活力产生重大影响。机构投资者的参与和承诺有助于刺激农业食品部门的创新过程,在科学和管理一级提供具有重大影响的相关影响。

期刊介绍: The subject of innovation is receiving increased interest both from companies because of their increased awareness of the impact of innovation in determining market success and also from the research community. Academics are increasingly beginning to place innovation as a priority area in their research agenda. This impetus has been partly fuelled by the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) who have designated innovation as one of nine research areas in their research initiative schemes.
