Abstract(s)
Purpose – This paper aims to analyses barriers as a determinant of ongoing or abandoned innovation
activities. The literature exploits barriers as the nature of innovation and its influence on firm’s. The main
focus is the Portuguese SMEs and the impacts that act as barriers in the development of innovation activities.
Design/methodology/approach – The database was obtained through the Community Innovation
Survey 2010 (CIS 2010) that was coordinated by EUROSTAT. In this sense, a logistic regression model is
proposed, which makes it possible to analyse the relations between three or more variables, depending on
whether the relationship is one of dependence or interdependence, thus allowing the application of distinct
statistical techniques, using 6,160 firms
Findings – There are several sources of information that are associated with the development of innovation
projects.
Practical implications – The importance of barriers to the development of innovation activities, as well
as it being a decisive factor in the impediment to and abandon of the same, was noted.
Originality/value – This study also demonstrated that each case is different and that a barrier in one firm
can at the same time be a window of opportunity for another firm.
