Abstract
The research program here summarized, after assuming that innovation adoption is a relevant, if not crucial, perspective for investigating SMEs orientation to sustainability,aims todetect the mostly relevant and cross-situationally consistent antecedentsof innovation adoption decisions from SMEs.This document shortly reportsa research project on the factors affecting the innovation adoption decisions from SMEs, giving particular attention to their search for sustainability. The research program was 2-years long (from October 2016 to September 2018) and was executed without grants or other external funds.The research, which is now completely done, combined a huge effort into theoretical investigation and analysis with empirical research, since a longitudinal meta-analysis was adopted and applied. As a consequence, theoretical knowledge and conceptual frameworks inquiry were followed by significant computational work, as requested by the meta-analysis procedure recalled below. It is one of the very few studies investigating a wide range of antecedents of innovation adoption decisions, even ifsome moderators, with a focus on SMEs.
