Abstract
This research used logistic regression analyses to examine firm innovation in emerging market micro-organisations. Both the relationship between firm innovation and firm performance as well as three possible drivers of firm innovation were studied. The drivers were prior industry knowledge, indebtedness and women in top management. The research made use of data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey. This lead to a sample of 762 micro-organisations divided over 8 different countries. First firm innovation was not found to have a significant impact on firm performance. A manager’s prior industry knowledge and gender were both confirmed to have a positive effect on firm innovation. While indebtedness unexpectedly also proved to have a positive effect on firm innovation.
