| Abstract: | A meta-analytic review of the relationship between organizational size and innovation is offered. Using 36 correlations derived from 20 published studies, the review finds a positive relationship between size and innovation. In addition, size is more positively related to innovation in manufacturing and profit-making organizations than in service and non-profit-making organizations. Some other moderators - types of innovation, centralization, a variety of conceptual and methodological factors - are also described and analyzed. The implications of the findings for theory development and future research are discussed. |
