Abstract(s)
Innovation is a tool to ensure competitiveness. Firm survival is inexorably linked to its ability to reinvent
itself, obviously apart from other circumstances. Organizational innovation and its adoption are key
concepts that are rarely studied. Little is known about factors related to decisions to adopt innovations
and how the likelihood of adoption of innovations can be increased. This chapter aims to answer the
question: what are the determinants of the adoption of organizational innovation? In this sense, this
chapter aims to identify some of the organizational factors which have the capacity to influence organizational innovation in a specific case study, an innovative Portuguese company. This chapter addresses
the personal dimension of the leader as a driver of organizational innovation processes. This chapter
finds that, in the case study, the culture of the company which itself is driven by the CEO is fundamental
for innovation and the adoption of organizational innovations.
