This research explores the impact of the firm’s characteristics of size and age on organizational innovation. The study is based on data gathered from a sample of industrial companies from central region of Russia, and reveals that there is a relation between the size and age of a firm and its organizational innovation activity. To make the research more specific, the organizational innovation is broken down into a few organizational innovation subtypes that are analysed independently. Each organizational innovation subtype of a firm demonstrates a different level of dependence on its characteristics. The conclusion was made that each subtype of organizational innovation must be analysed based on the specified context being considered.
