La finalidad de esta investigación es presentar, a partir de datos primarios y secundarios, un modelo cognitivo sobre el comportamiento innovador de las empresas de Economía Social andaluzas, que sea útil a los siguientes agentes sociales: investigadores, empresarios y gestores públicos. Para alcanzar la finalidad previa, se sigue el siguiente itinerario de investigación. En primer lugar, se plantea un modelo teórico en el que la decisión de innovar (comportamiento innovador) depende de condicionantes internos (cultura organizativa, tamaño, diversificación de la actividad, capacidad para asumir riesgos, valoración del entorno…), externos (sector de actividad, localización, Universidad…) y de las interacciones entre ellos (relaciones empresa-Universidad-Estado). A continuación, se diseña un modelo econométrico probit dicótomo, que se aplica a una muestra de 515 empresas de Economía Social de Andalucía y que se estima mediante máxima verosimilitud. Los resultados revelan que la existencia de relacio- nes con la Universidad tiene un efecto positivo sobre la probabilidad de innovar. No obstante, cuantitativamente, el mayor efecto procede de las variables representativas de la localización. The aim of this research is to offer a cognitive model of innovating behaviour of Andalusian Social Economy enterprises, using both primary and secondary data, that can be considered useful by researchers, entrepreneurs and public managers. In order to reach the previous purpose, the following itinerary of investigation is followed. In the first place, a theoretical model is presented in which the decision to innovate (innovating behaviour) depends on internal conditions (organizational culture, size, diversification of activity, capacity to assume risks, valuation of environment…), external factors (sector of activity, location, University,…) and interactive relationships (University-Industry-Government relations). Next, an econometric probit model is designed and applied to a sample of 515 companies of Social Economy of Andalusia and estimated by maximum likelihood. Our findings reveal that having relationships with Universities increases the probability of innovating. Nevertheless, location appears to hae the mayor impact on that decision.
