Innovative capabilities of creative enterprises

We investigate the effects of innovative capabilities of cultural enterprises in the context of their cultural and business orientations. Innovative capabilities refer to internal and external collaborative capabilities, idea generation routines, knowledge development routines, decision procedures, and implementation. The question is to which extent the cultural and business orientations of creative enterprises are related to their general innovative capabilities, and how each of these (cultural orientation, business orientation, innovative capabilities) separately and in combination contribute to cultural and business performance.
