Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze the role of university training courses specializing in entrepreneurship in the relationship between managerial innovation and value creation in SMEs. This research is intended to be hypothetico-deductive. In order to test the relationships, we collected data from 76 business leaders who were beneficiaries of the Programme de Formation Sud Entrepreneuriat Intrapreneuriat Burkina Faso - Bénin. Three statistical tools were used to analyze the data collected: flat sorting, exploratory factor analysis (PCA) and linear regressions. The results of our research show that, for 10% of SME value creation, managerial innovation contributes 41% and university training in entrepreneurship 48.9%. These results are significant only at the 1% level. It follows that university training programs specialized in entrepreneurship positively and significantly moderate the relationship between managerial innovation and value creation in small and medium-sized enterprises
