Business Environment and HEIs: Grasping the Factors of Innovations as an Interplay Between Developmental Performances and Human Semantic Meanings
Authors: ,
Abstract: Throughout the history, innovations have been addressed from different perspectives contributing to the extensive knowledgebase. But what are the crucial constituent of the harmonized external and internal factors, which have a direct impact on the business, known as value orientations? Our study aims to reveal an underlying dynamics framing the possibilities of knowledge creation and fostering innovation since postmodern orientations and values have an impact on the innovative, creative and reflexive capacities. We took into account the individual characteristics, both sociographic and demographic, as well as postmodern orientations and values, indicators measuring changed cognitive frames, values and orientations we choose perceptions of being autonomous individuals, having an active imagination, supporting technological development and also what are the important child qualities. The results showed that being prone to innovations is influenced by specific social embeddedness of personalities at the individual level and also at the national level as well as that tertiary education does not encourage individuals thinking with their own head, neither being creative or innovative, which at first glance may see counterintuitive.
