Sažetak
Innovation and innovative activities in today’s business environment have become conditio sine qua non of contemporary organizations’ survival and development. Although there is a multitude of innovation researches in the literature, those oriented on small-sized firms, especially researches that are focused on relationship between small-sized firms’ innovativeness and their business performances, are scarce. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine mentioned and in relevant literature presumed relationship between small-sized firms’ innovativeness and their business performances, and to provide new empirical insights. In order to achieve this objective empirical research was conducted on the sample of 151 small-sized firms in Bosnia and Herzegovina, findings of which suggest on interesting inferences such as that different types of innovation introduced (product or process) in small-sized firms have the same influence on their business performances.
