Non-technological innovations in Chilean agricultural firms: what motivates the decision to innovate and the propensity of innovation?

Innovations are divided into four types: product, process, marketing and organizational (OECD, 2007). An extensive body of literature on the introduction of technological innovations in Chilean agricultural firms focuses on PP (product and process), but it is very limited with respect to groups of f...
