Small businesses play a vital role in small economies. According to Eurostat, 99.8% of businesses in Latvia are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), creating 79% of jobs and 70% of gross added value [1]. Thus, their ability to create value and to sustain competitive advantage through innovation is essential for economic development and growth. Yet many small businesses might face challenges of limited capacity, personnel and insufficient resources for long-term investments in research and development. And, besides the lack of resources, such businesses might not see the benefits of innovation. Implementation of organizational innovation could provide them a way to improve competitiveness and also become a stepping stone to foster other types of innovation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of organizational culture (OC) on organizational innovation in SMEs via an empirical study of businesses from various industries. The study assesses four dimensions of the OC adopted from Denison and Spreitzer (1991) Team, Development, Result-orientation and Consistency [2]. And it evaluates the impact of the OC on product, process, marketing and organizational innovation performance in selected companies. The study confirms that OC and innovation indicators are closely related. Stronger and more developed OC in any of the four aforementioned dimensions leads to better innovation performance. This relation is particularly strong for organizational innovation, thus the impact is further analyzed using a regression model. This study finds Development-orientation and Consistency as the most significant factors, explaining 44.6% of the total variation in the organizational innovation performance. This study contributes to research on small and medium-sized business innovation.
小企业在小型经济体中发挥着至关重要的作用。根据欧盟统计局的数据,拉脱维亚99.8%的企业是中小型企业,创造了79%的就业机会和70%的总增加值。因此,他们通过创新创造价值和保持竞争优势的能力对经济发展和增长至关重要。然而,许多小企业可能面临能力有限、人员和资源不足的挑战,无法对研究和开发进行长期投资。而且,除了缺乏资源,这些企业可能看不到创新的好处。实施组织创新可以为他们提供提高竞争力的途径,也可以成为促进其他类型创新的垫脚石。本研究的目的是通过对不同行业企业的实证研究,分析组织文化对中小企业组织创新的影响。本研究评估了Denison and Spreitzer(1991)的团队、发展、结果导向和一致性的四个维度。并对所选企业的产品、流程、营销和组织创新绩效进行评价。研究证实了OC与创新指标密切相关。在上述四个维度中,任何一个维度的组织结构越强、越发达,创新绩效就越好。这种关系对组织创新尤其强烈,因此使用回归模型进一步分析其影响。研究发现,发展导向和一致性是最显著的影响因素,解释了44.6%的组织创新绩效总变异。本研究有助于对中小企业创新的研究。

Modern science and practice draw attention to the many issues related to the financial and resource support transition to innovative development of economic systems at all levels. The venture is one of the ways of financing of innovation. Market venture investments in Russia are currently at the stage of rapid growth and development. There are many different ways of exit, for example by initial public offering(IPO) or transactions of merge and acquisition (M&A).

This study adopted a simulation analysis based on back-testing historical data to evaluate the performance of a compound investment strategy which was proposed by a securities investment trust company for suggesting its customers in mutual fund investment. The compound strategy requires investors to choose a source-fund and a sub-fund or a set of sub-funds which have negative correlations or low correlations with the source-fund in their portfolio. Then we examined the performance of the strategy under three scenarios of past stock market in Taiwan, including A) TAIEX index initially decreasing then increasing, B) TAIEX index initially increasing then decreasing, and C) TAIEX index in long-term bullish trend. We compared the performance of the strategy with the following four benchmarks: 1) TAIEX index performance, 2) the performance of lump-sum (LS) investing approach in source-fund, 3) the performance of LS investing approach in sub-fund, and 4) the performance of dollar-cost averaging approach for sub-fund. The result shows that the compound strategy outperforms the benchmarks in two market scenarios with the feature of turning point.
