Análisis cualitativo de los determinantes de la innovación en una economía emergente
(Universidad Politécnica Salesiana de Ecuador, 2019-03-28) Del Carpio-Gallegos, Javier Fernando; Miralles, Francesc
Manufacturing companies strive to be innovative and thus competitive. These companies are very important in an emerging economy due to its contribution to a country’s gross domestic product and the generation of jobs. Therefore, the objective is to identify what are the internal and external factors that improve the innovation capacity of Peruvian manufacturing companies and, in turn, favor their competitiveness. A qualitative approach was applied based on the Glaser six-C model, which is part of the grounded theory, and the managers of the Peruvian manufacturing companies were interviewed. From the analysis and processing of this data with Atlas ti qualitative analysis software, it was found that suppliers and customers provide valuable information to innovate, and that the application of the design and the acquisition of machinery favor the innovations of these companies. To that extent, this qualitative study contributes to identify those factors that help Peruvian manufacturing companies improve their innovation capacity. Thus, manufacturing companies’ managers must identify those factors that favor the implementation of innovations and, in this way, will make their companies more competitive.

Analizando la innovación comercial en las empresas peruanas de manufactura de menor intensidad tecnológica
(Fundación Getulio Vargas, Escuela de Administración de Empresas de São Paulo, 2020-07-03) Del Carpio Gallegos, Javier Fernando; Miralles, Francesc
Non-technological innovation, including organizational and marketing innovation, has attracted substantial interest from researchers. The present study focuses on how external sources of knowledge relate to product, organizational, and marketing innovation, as well as analyzing how product and organizational innovation mediate the relationship between external sources of knowledge and marketing innovation. Current studies on marketing innovation do not present its real impact and importance for manufacturing companies. Using data from 557 Peruvian manufacturing companies that possess lower technological intensity, a model of partial structural equations was applied. The results show that external sources of market knowledge are related to product and organizational innovation. Managers should promote product innovations that favor the development of marketing innovations in the company.

Analyzing technological innovation in low and medium-low tech peruvian manufacturing companies
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 2019-06-13) Del Carpio Gallegos, Javier Fernando; Miralles, Francesc
Greater attention should be given to low- and medium-low- tech companies in emerging countries because they contribute a significant share of GDP and employment in their economies. However, innovation practices of these companies have not taken yet the attention of innovation scholars. This article proposes a model to study how absorptive capacity, perceived impact of information sources and expenditure in acquisition of technology are associated with technological innovation practices in Peruvian low- and medium-low-tech manufacturing companies. A sample of 856 manufacturing companies of low- and medium-low- tech was obtained from the first National Survey of Innovation in the Manufacturing Industry carried out in 2012. A SEM model is proposed and has been analyzed using a partial least squares approach. Our study reveals that absorptive capacity is associated to improve technological innovation, that perceived impact of information sources are important for absorptive capacity and that greater importance should be given to the acquisition of technology: machinery, hardware and software.

Impacto de las fuentes externas de conocimiento en la innovación de productos de empresas de baja y media baja intensidad tecnológica
(Universidad ICESI, 2018-12-19) Del Carpio-Gallegos, Javier Fernando; Miralles, Francesc
Despite their limitations, small and medium-sized companies with low and medium low technology intensiveness set themselves the challenge of improving their innovation capacity. Therefore, a probit model is proposed to study whether there is a positive effect of their external sources of market and technological knowledge on their ability to innovate in products. A sample of 826 companies listed in the National Poll on Innovation of Peru were examined. The results confirm a positive effect of external sources of knowledge, which favors the innovation of their products. These findings can help agencies promoting innovation to better focus policies to address the needs of small and medium enterprises in emerging economies.

El impacto de redes de colaboración en la innovación tecnológica en empresas
(Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, 2021-09-23) Del Carpio Gallegos, Javier Fernando; Miralles, Francesc
Latin American manufacturing firms must develop innovations to be competitive. For this reason, this research has two objectives: first, to analyze how connections with customers, suppliers, competitors, and research institutes are related to absorptive capacity, and, second, to demonstrate the existing relationship between absorptive capacity and technological innovation. A theoretical model was developed to show the relationship among the variables. The structural equation modelling was applied through AMOS software to a sample of 1,098 Peruvian manufacturing firms that participated in the second national innovation survey carried out in 2015. This study contributes to the literature on how firms relate with collaboration networks to improve their innovation capacity. In this way, firms obtain knowledge by applying the inbound open innovation approach. This knowledge is processed through each firm’s absorptive capacity and will improve its innovation capacity. Low or medium-low tech manufacturing firms that make investments in machinery, hardware, and software are more able to carry out product and process innovations. Product innovations allow firms to maintain or increase their position in the market and have more satisfied customers, while process innovations reduce their operating costs and make them more efficient.

Relationship between market and institutional networks and technological innovation: an analysis of peruvian manufacturing firms
(Universidad EAFIT, 2021-06-30) Del Carpio Gallegos, Javier Fernando; Miralles, Francesc; Loli Pineda, Alejandro Erasmo
Firms strive to develop technological innovations. This study focuses on two main objectives: to identify the relationship between market and institutional networks and technological innovation; and to analyze the relationship between the obstacles that firms assess when developing innovations. The literature shows that there has been little interest in researching innovation in emerging economies, in which there is a greater presence of low-technology intensity firms that also develop technological innovations. Using data from 705 Peruvian manufacturing firms, a partial structural equation model was applied. The results showed that when firms are linked to networks, their capacity for technological innovation improves.
