Publication Open Access The influence of CSR orientation on innovative performance: is the effect conditioned to the implementation of organizational practices?(Springer, 2023) Anzola Román, Paula; García Marco, María Teresa; Zouaghi, Ferdaous; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaPrevious research has examined the relationship between CSR and innovation and has suggested that the former might positively affect the latter; however, the impact of CSR on innovation success needs further attention. This study aims to develop a deeper understanding of how environmental and social CSR are related to innovation performance and whether the implementation of organizational practices might moderate this relationship. The results are based on an unbalanced panel of 14,313 observations of 3713 firms covering 2011–2015. Using random-effects probit models and the estimation of average marginal effects (AMEs), this paper contributes to the literature on CSR by explaining how CSR dimensions affect innovation success differently and by addressing how this effect is influenced by organizational innovation. The results show that while environmental CSR orientation proves beneficial for the generation of process innovation, social CSR orientation contributes to the generation of both kinds of technological innovations only when internal organizational practices are implemented. This study provides valuable insights for managers aiming to implement a CSR perspective in their strategies to support the pursuit of innovation.Publication Open Access University spin-offs: a case study on their characterization, challenges and entrepreneurship ecosystem(Academic Publishing, 2021) Anzola Román, Paula; Bayona Sáez, Cristina; Gestión de Empresas; Enpresen KudeaketaUniversity has moved away from the ‘ivory tower’ conceptualization that characterized it as an isolated and inexpugnable knowledge fortress. On the contrary, universities fully participate today of a system, acting the main agent for the dissemination of knowledge and technological change, but permeating its borders to be in full contact with its context. Academic literature, noting these transformations, has coined the term ‘entrepreneurial university’, to refer to this institution that interacts with private companies and other economic agents, exploiting entrepreneurship opportunities, and thus contributing to economic and social development. Within the context of the ‘entrepreneurial university’, this work focuses on business initiatives arising from academic R&D activities. For this purpose, the research provides a comparative study and a multiple case study based on in-depth interviews with the founding leaders of six firms constituted as spin-offs from the Public University of Navarra (henceforward, UPNA) and other agents related. The objective is to determine a characterization for these types of firms, with the aim of contributing to the literature regarding the phenomenon of university spin-offs and its idiosyncrasy. In turn, this work intends also to identify the main challenges faced by these firms, and to carry out an exploratory study on how the entrepreneurship ecosystem –promoted by the University- helps in overcoming these challenges. In this sense, the results of the analysis highlight the difficulties regarding the need to combine practices to explore disruptive technologies with the need to guarantee a sustainable model for the exploitation of the products developed by these spin-offs. Therefore, this study concludes that the main challenge for university spin-offs is ambidexterity. In addition, it elaborates on the relevance of the support instruments provided by the ecosystem, which intend to complement the initial deficiencies of university spin-offs in matters of management and commercial strategy. This insight is undoubtedly useful for practitioners, researches and policy makers alike.
