Abstract

This article presents the concepts of innovativeness and the proposed conceptual model of the antecedents and consequences of innovativeness. The study focuses particularly on the Resource Based View and Learning Organization, and is based on literature review, documentary analysis, and analytical description. The proposed structural model consists of three antecedents: Entrepreneurial orientation, market orientation, and learning orientation, while the consequence is the competitive advantage. The study also recommends future research to regard business types and the organizational environments as influential to the measurement validity.
