  • The Features of Organizational Innovation Culture in Micro Enterprises: Case Studies from Lithuanian Creative Industries (2012) · Social Sciences · cited 1× · doi

    The mechanisms by which ethical organizational culture translates sustainability commitments into sustained innovation capability within resource-constrained micro and small enterprises remain underspecified. Prior work identifies ethics and sustainability as drivers but does not explain the organizational processes through which MSMEs operationalize these values into continuous creative output.

  • The Features of Organizational Innovation Culture in Micro Enterprises: Case Studies from Lithuanian Creative Industries (2012) · Social Sciences · cited 1× · doi

    No comparative study documents how organizational design constraints in micro enterprises (limited resources, informal structures) interact with sustainability practices and ethical leadership to enable or inhibit organizational creativity. Existing case studies examine single firms or sectors without cross-regional or cross-size comparative analysis.

  • Gamification as an innovation: a tool to improve organizational marketing performance and sustainability of international firms (2023) · International Marketing Review · cited 24× · doi

    The sustainability-driven innovation capability of MSMEs has not been measured or benchmarked across EU member states and emerging markets to identify which ethical practices, organizational structures, and leadership approaches yield the highest sustained innovation performance. Existing research lacks comparative quantitative assessment across these geographies.
