摘要

目的 创新被视为在 COVID-19 危机等极不确定时期取得成功和生存的重要工具。本文旨在通过实证研究,了解中小型企业在不确定情况下进行产品、流程和组织创新的倾向,以及这种倾向因管理者的性别而异。 设计/方法/途径 作者利用 GLOBE-2020 调查范围内亚美尼亚中小企业经理的 213 份回复结果,研究了经理性别在不确定性条件下鼓励创新态度的作用。为了衡量不确定性与创新(产品、流程和组织)之间的关系,作者计算了管理者对不确定性的看法与他们对外部环境参与者的看法之间的皮尔逊相关系数。此外,还在三种创新类型与不确定性之间进行了线性回归。 研究结果 我们的分析结果证实了不确定性与创新之间的正相关关系。此外,我们的结果表明,在外部动荡环境下,男性管理者更倾向于进行创新。 原创性/价值 本研究填补了文献空白,研究了不确定性与创新之间的关系,重点关注逆境时期的中小企业,因为与大公司相比,中小企业的资源有限,因此创新能力也有限。在亚美尼亚这个研究不足的国家,女性企业家在从事创新活动时面临着独特的挑战,本文研究了在不确定情况下影响创新的内部因素--性别因素。

Innovation under uncertainty: who holds the upper hand? An empirical study of Armenian SMEs
Purpose Innovation is considered as an important tool to succeed and survive in periods of great uncertainty such as COVID-19 crisis. This paper aims to empirically examine the propensity to engage in product, process and organizational innovation under uncertainty among small and medium enterprises and how that propensity varies depending on the gender of the manager. Design/methodology/approach Using the results of 213 responses by managers of Armenian small and medium enterprises in the scope of GLOBE-2020 survey, the authors investigate the role of manager’s gender in encouraging innovative attitude under uncertainty. To measure the relationship between uncertainty and innovation (product, process and organizational), Pearson’s correlation coefficients were calculated between managers’ perception about the uncertainty and their perceptions of innovation within their companies compared to the players in the external environment. In addition, a linear regression was run between the three innovation types and uncertainty. Findings The results of our analysis confirmed the positive relationship between uncertainty and innovation. Moreover, our results indicate that male managers have a higher tendency to undertake innovation under external turbulence. Originality/value This study fills the gap in the literature by studying the relationship between uncertainty and innovation, focusing on SMEs during adversarial times, which in contrast to bigger companies are limited in terms of their resources and, hence, capacity to innovate. The paper examines the gender dimension as an internal factor affecting innovation under uncertainty in an under-researched country context of Armenia, where female entrepreneurs deal with unique challenges to engage in innovative activities.
