La habilidad de los directivos y su papel mediador entre formación e innovación

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to determine how managers training and managerial ability influence innovation in the company. Using a sample of 316 large Spanish companies, the results demonstrate that managers training has a positive effect on the development of the ability of this group of workers and that this, in turn, improves innovation in the company. The analyses also establish a mediating role for managerial ability between manger training and innovation.
