Authors : Zaiter Fateh . Guerini Fares .

Abstract

The objective of this work is to assess the importance of innovation in the entrepreneurial process. Which leads us to question, on the one hand, the place of innovation as a motive and motivation for the act of entrepreneurship and, on the other hand, in management practices within the company. To achieve the aim of this work, we conducted a field survey with a representative sample of 23 SMEs in the agri-food sector, which operate in the territory of the wilaya of Bejaia, which comes in fourth position in terms of the presence of SMEs. The results obtained show that, even if the decision to undertake is the result of several factors, the dimension given to innovation is by far the main reason in the act of creating a business. However, once established, the majority of these entrepreneurs declare that their activities must be part of something new, that they adopt growth and development strategies.
