To date and worldwide, most business activities in the agribusiness sectors have focused on increasing productive efficiency to the detriment of the environmental impact of these activities, despite close connection that exist between agribusinesses and natural resources. This paper argues that knowledge and innovation management (KIM) can play a key role in fostering and managing creativity in the agribusiness sector. To test this assumption, an empirical model linking KIM with employee creativity, responsible green innovation, and performance in the agribusiness sector of the Dominican Republic is proposed and tested with data from 110 agribusiness companies. We found that strengthening the relationships between the above constructs is needed, with a view to readjusting the meaning of firm performance in the light of emerging (post-pandemic) circumstances for agribusinesses. The statistical analyses yield important implications and recommendations for practice, management, and policy making in these areas in this country and elsewhere.

农业综合企业的知识和创新管理：多米尼加共和国的一项研究

迄今为止，在全球范围内，尽管农业综合企业与自然资源之间存在密切联系，但农业综合企业部门的大多数商业活动都侧重于提高生产效率，而损害了这些活动对环境的影响。本文认为，知识和创新管理 (KIM) 可以在培养和管理农业企业部门的创造力方面发挥关键作用。为了检验这一假设，提出了一个将 KIM 与员工创造力、负责任的绿色创新和多米尼加共和国农业企业部门的绩效联系起来的实证模型，并使用来自 110 家农业企业的数据进行了测试。我们发现需要加强上述结构之间的关系，以根据农业综合企业的新出现（大流行后）情况重新调整公司绩效的含义。统计分析对美国和其他地方这些领域的实践、管理和决策产生了重要影响和建议。
