Abstract: The subject of the study reported in this paper is the exploration of companies' attributes, which discuss the impact of core companies' characteristics towards innovation in diverse innovation typologies, for both incremental and radical innovations. The study of companies in a high technology cluster confirms that innovation drives business performance, and it also outlines, which organisational attributes drive radical innovations. These include attributes associated with product centricity, internationalisation, bottom-up strategies and the degree of centrality in interorganisational networks. The impact of organisational characteristics in different industry sectors is also analysed.
