AB - This paper aims to determine whether the traditional consideration
by the scientific literature of the negative influence of the age of the
micro-entrepreneur on the innovation performances of the business, can
become positive when using information and communication technology (ICT)
and developing strategies of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and
diversification. The study was conducted using a sample of 148 micro Spanish
companies. The results have been contrasted by two models, one without
interactions to test the main effects of each of the variables under study; and a
second model that includes interactions of the variable age with these
moderator variables. The results show that the use of ICTs and the development
of CSR activities by micro-entrepreneurs moderate the negative effect of the
variable age over the innovation performance of the micro-enterprise. In
contrast, the diversification decision enhances this negative effect.
