Item type:Publication, Exploring Enabling Factors for Innovation Outcomes. A Firm-Level Analysis(EAFIT University, 2020-07-28)Major innovation research has been primarily focused on developed countries, creating a gap in the literature related to innovation processes in emerging markets, such as Latin America. Even as some studies are aimed toward this region, their approach is usually only from the standpoint of an R&D funding perspective. This paper aims to discuss the relationship between resources for innovation and sources of innovation with innovation outcomes, using a sample of Peruvian companies, which received public funds oriented to the developing of innovative activities. Results found evidence that the presence of resources for innovation and sources of innovation have a positive influence on innovation outcomes. Moreover, resources for innovation are related to non-technological innovation, with internal R&D being the most carried out by companies even when it is not related to product nor process innovation. While sources of innovation are related to product innovation, firms demonstrated an incipient use of inter-firm collaboration strategies as its sources it. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Scientific mapping on the convergence of innovation and sustainability (innovability): 1990–2018(Emerald, 2020-09-17)Purpose Innovation and sustainability are key in today’s competitive world. It is no longer possible to conceive an organization that has not incorporated these two elements for it to become successful. The longitudinal bibliometric study seeks to examine the topography of innovation and sustainability to determine whether there is already a terminological integration that could be defined as innovation capability in a sustainable way. The objective of this work is to identify the growth trajectories of the literature, the countries considered as knowledge nodes, the most influential authors, the classification of journals, clusters and collaborative networks measured by co-citation, the analysis by keywords, countries and knowledge areas. Design/methodology/approach The study is developed under the bibliometric approach, and the period 1990–2018 was considered. The steps taken were as follows: 16 keywords of each term were identified and selected in 3 methodological layers by a panel of experts; an algorithm was designed and applied to identify these selected keywords in the titles, abstracts and keywords using terms in the Web of Science (WoS) of Clarivate Analytics to contrast them; and a review in specialized journals was carried out in the first quartile (Q1) of the WoS until 2018. Findings The most relevant finding of the study lies in the sustained growth of the convergence of the terms innovation and sustainability. In addition, the longitudinal review of the two concepts also shows that innovation is directly linked to sustainability, suggesting that the convergence of concepts and practices becomes part of the strategy of companies seeking to be competitive and sustainable. Practical implications At the management level, this research seeks to present a definition of innovability based on the convergence of the concepts of innovation and sustainability. This new concept can be applied as a management strategy for companies seeking to be competitive and sustainable. Theoretical and practical evidences that reinforce this construct are presented. At the academic level, the manuscript shows a longitudinal review on innovation and sustainability, a relevant scientific mapping and, finally, a new theoretical and practical concept is proposed that seeks to create strategies for competitiveness in a sustainable way. At the level of society, the study contributes to the sustainable development goals. Originality/value The results show that a field of studies on innovation is emerging that has a high potential to position itself as a new space for research. The concept of “innovability” is proposed. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Qualitative comparative analysis of the personal traits of managers, scientists, and innovators in corporate science(Elsevier BV, 2025-01-01)This study examined the personal traits that contribute to the success of corporate science projects in Peru by focusing on the roles of CEOs, scientists, and innovators. Although Peru has seen economic progress in recent decades, integrating scientific research into business strategies requires improvement, reflecting a common trend in emerging economies. Through a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) and a sample of 56 participants, the configurations of personal characteristics that contribute to the success of such projects were identified. The results indicate that success depends not on a single attribute but on a combination of various capabilities. This study emphasizes the importance of adaptability and collaboration among key actors and suggests a management approach that blends technical skills with interpersonal competencies. The practical implications of this study emphasize the need to align corporate leadership with scientific and market dynamics, foster empathy and teamwork, and leverage external networks to enhance innovation. Strategies must be adapted to the specificities of emerging economies where science, technology, and innovation systems are still developing.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Exploring the Intersection of Big Data and Open Innovation: Synergies and Challenges in Emerging Contexts(University of Porto, 2025-04-01)This study explores the symbiotic relationship between Big Data and Open Innovation. They work together to accelerate innovation and generate value for organizations. Different sectors and organizations go through decision-making processes that range from operational and routine aspects to managerial and strategic decisions, such as the implementation of a new product or the purchase of a new production unit. All these decisions require data and information that can mitigate risks and support choices. This study draws insights from real-world case studies, emphasizing the transformative potential of Big Data for open innovation. It analyzes evidence of the use of Big Data in Open Innovation practices in a group of Peruvian software companies. The results show the gap in the use of Big Data to support collaborative practices in the sample. In fact, often, those companies do not see a direct relationship between Big Data experience and the adoption of Open Innovation practices. The findings underscore the need for integrated approaches and suggest that bridging the gap between Big Data and Open Innovation offers a promising avenue for thriving in an information-rich environment.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Combinations of knowledge sources for product innovation based on the degree of novelty: Evidence from Peru(Costa Rica Institute of Technology, 2026-01-15)This research aims to unveil the combinations of knowledge sources that influence the degree of innovation novelty or radicalness (products new-to-firm and new-to-market). Exploratory and confirmatory factor models and bivariate probit regression are applied on a sample of Peruvian manufacturing companies made available by the Peruvian National Innovation Survey. The results show twocombinations. Firstly, the combination of internal sources (within the firm or business group) with the knowledge of customers, suppliers, and competitors, which are related to the new-to-firm and new-to-market product innovations. Secondly, the combinationof knowledge from universities, public research institutes, and consultants/private R&D institutes, which are related to new-to-market product innovations. This study contributes to the literature by revealing the combinations that influence the degree ofnovelty or radicalness of innovation in Peru, which represents the search strategies and knowledge combinations to achieve innovation at firm level. The study also provides evidence of how knowledge generated by other companies in the business group orconsultants/private R&D institutes contributes to the firm innovative. The practical implications of this research rely on understanding how strategy makers can promote the management of different knowledge sources in companies and their combinations to achieve product innovations based on the degree of novelty.
