Entrepreneurship and open innovation in an emerging economy

Ian Chaston, Gregory J. Scott · 2012 · Management Decision

Summary. This study surveyed Peruvian company managers to examine how entrepreneurial orientation and open innovation affect firm performance.

The findings suggest emerging economy firms can sustain growth through open innovation practices rather than relying primarily on entrepreneurial behavior.
