The entrepreneur in the regional innovation system. A comparative study for high- and low-income regions

José Fernández‐Serrano, Juan A. Martínez-Román, Isidoro Romero · 2018 · Entrepreneurship and Regional Development

Summary. This study examines how entrepreneur characteristics influence firm innovation across Spanish regions with different income levels. Entrepreneurs' trust and growth ambition affect innovation differently depending on regional development. Low-income regions face human capital and infrastructure barriers, while high-income regions struggle with legal and financial systems. The findings show policymakers must tailor innovation strategies to regional contexts rather than applying uniform approaches.
