Abstract

The main objective of this research is to disentangle the factors that promote or are positively related to radical innovation and its success. To this end, four studies have been proposed, which suggest various facilitators of radical innovation: altruistic and stewardship leader behavior, organic organisational structure, end-user computing satisfaction, organisational learning capability (OLC), and generative learning. Through structural equation models, the effect of these factors on radical innovation was empirically analysed, using a sample of Spanish companies characterised by their excellent management of human resources. The results obtained in each empirical study confirm all the hypotheses proposed.
