Abstract


The present paper was aimed at analyzing the influence of governance on firm's propensity for technological innovation, considering knowledge hiding as mediator. Gathering data from a sample of companies in the wine industry, a structural equation modeling was performed to test the hypotheses formulated. The results showed that the governance influences firm’s propensity to implement technological innovation, and the mediating effect of knowledge hiding was demonstrated as well.


Keywords
