摘要

目的以乌干达为研究对象,评估影响农业食品中小微企业创新的因素。坎帕拉、瓦基索、穆科诺和金贾地区是这项研究的地点。设计/方法/方法采用结构化问卷收集了乌干达521家农业食品中小微企业样本的主要横截面数据。在SPSS中采用描述性统计、探索性因子分析和层次回归分析对数据进行检验。研究结果表明,中小微企业的创新水平通常很高,约为80%。鼓励创新和奖励有创造力的人的规则的存在将促进以客户为中心的创新。另一方面,鼓励创新和进行内部产品和过程改进研究的政策和原则将促进以系统为重点的创新。鼓励农业食品中小微企业制定支持创新的政策将提高整体创新水平,而建设农业食品中小微企业进行产品和工艺改进研究的能力将提高以系统为重点的研究水平。原创性/价值本研究评估了一个发展中国家农业食品中小微企业的创新驱动因素。本研究的独特之处在于评估创新支持服务对以客户为中心和以系统为中心的创新的影响。

Drivers of innovation in the agro-food micro, small and medium enterprises of Uganda
PurposeWith focus on Uganda, this study assessed the factors influencing agro-food micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) innovations. Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono and Jinja districts were the locations of the research.Design/methodology/approachPrimary cross-sectional data was collected using structured questionnaire for a sample of 521 agro-food MSMEs in Uganda. Descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used to examine the data in SPSS.FindingsThe findings indicate that MSME innovation levels were usually high, at roughly 80%. The presence of rules that encourage innovation and reward creative people would enhance innovation that is customer-focused. On the other hand, policies and principles that encourage innovation and the conduct of internal product and process improvement research would promote system-focused innovation.Research limitations/implicationsEncouraging agro-food MSMEs to develop policies that support innovation would improve the overall level of innovation, while building the capacity of agro-food MSMEs to conduct product and process improvement research would increase the level of systems-focused research.Originality/valueThis study assessed the drivers of innovation in agri-food MSMEs in a developing country. The uniqueness of this study is in assessing the effects of innovation support services on customer-focused and systems-focused innovations.
