Abstract
Agribusiness shows a growing degree of competitiveness and innovation. However,
the organisational mechanisms that compete for innovation and organisational
performance are under-studied. This study aims to analyse the influence of market
orientation and organisational structure on innovation generated in these firms. To
test the conceptual model, we follow a two-step approach combining a PLS-SEM
procedure with an importance-performance map analysis. The results reveal that,
when compared to exploitative innovation, explorative innovation shows a stronger
influence on market and financial performance of Extremaduran agribusiness firms.
Furthermore, the firms’ market orientation and the existence of a formal
organisational structure represent important elements to develop innovation
exploration orientation.
