capacidades de inovação, inovação empresarial, liderança empreendedora, mentalidade do fundador, transformação organizacionalResumo
O estudo analisa a mentalidade do fundador e a evolução das capacidades de inovação em 100 empresas do Caribe colombiano participantes de um programa público de fortalecimento. Utilizou-se desenho quantitativo, longitudinal e não experimental, integrando caracterização empresarial, mentalidade do fundador e assessment aplicado em dois momentos. A mentalidade apresentou elevada avaliação e as capacidades passaram de 3,9 para 4,5. Tecnologia, Processos e Recursos registraram as maiores variações. As associações diretas entre mentalidade e capacidades foram fracas. Conclui-se que a orientação fundadora se torna sustentável quando institucionalizada por processos, recursos, tecnologias, rotinas e responsabilidades organizacionais.
