Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the behavior of small golden grass- producing businesses concerning innovation and internationalization. The research follows a quantitative approach and is considered an exploratory and descriptive investigation with field research, using a structured questionnaire with closed-ended questions. The unit of analysis for this study was a group of 16 artisans. The instrument was digitally applied and formulated through Google Forms, and the pre-test involved 7 artisans. This study concludes that due to the low degree of innovation among artisans, exportation has been negatively impacted. Additionally, in the light of the reviewed literature, it is inferred that, given the low level of innovative behavior, exportation among artisans is fragility.
