A conceptual model is proposed consisting of five separate dimensions: the firm; the entrepreneur; the external business environment; the firm's innovative capacity; and the firm´s performance. The study was based on questionnaire-based data from a sample of firms drawn from the manufacturing industry in the Beira Interior Region of Portugal. The results provided evidence regarding the factors influencing the innovative capacity of firms and permitted conclusions to be drawn regarding effects of superior innovative capacity on the construction of firms' competitive advantage, which in turn contributes to improved performance. 2009 artículo científico 0718-2724 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=84712862005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=847 Journal of Technology Management & Innovation application/pdf Universidad Alberto Hurtado Journal of Technology Management & Innovation (Chile) Num.4 Vol.4 |
