La importancia de la innovación como factor de supervivencia y competitividad es incuestionable en el mundo empresarial. Sin embargo, la gran mayoría de las empresas españolas presentan un tamaño reducido, sin departamento específico de I+D y compiten en sectores de intensidad tecnológica media o baja, por lo que no incluyen la gestión de la innovación y la tecnología entre sus actividades cotidianas. Este libro combina el rigor conceptual y los análisis empíricos con una exposición ágil, clara y ejemplificada de lo que debería ser la innovación en una Pyme. Con este objetivo, el texto se organiza en tres capítulos en los que se trata, primero, la importancia de la innovación para la empresa y la sociedad; segundo, el proceso de innovación particularizando esta actividad en las pequeñas y medianas empresas y, finalmente, muestra los pasos básicos necesarios para gestionar la innovación, proporcionando un conjunto de herramientas que facilitan la implantación de las distintas etapas de gestión. Las técnicas y modelos de gestión expuestos son aplicables a empresas de distintos tamaños y sectores, con un nivel de formalización y desarrollo que puede variar de unas empresas a otras, pero en cualquier caso resultan imprescindibles para conseguir una mayor flexibilidad y adaptación a los cambios, gestionándolos de forma organizada y sistemática. De esta forma, los autores fundamentan la importancia de la innovación y la implantación de su gestión contribuyendo a crear las condiciones favorables para mejorar la competitividad de nuestro tejido empresarial.

What is the role of culture in the innovation dynamic of small firms within the context of their territorial environments? How do shared values, beliefs and practices underpin the knowledge production process that leads to innovation? In what way do symbolic aspects of social life shape European SMEs’ innovation processes? This volume gives an extensive insight into the complex links between culture and innovation in one of the key agents of economic life: SMEs and micro firms. The chapters employ different analytical and methodological strategies in regions of Europe to identify dimensions of culture, especially values, norms, skills and institutions, and to scrutinize which specific components of culture are relevant to firm innovation and to the more general dynamics of regional innovation. The original research presented shows how small firms learn, interact, compete and collaborate with other key agents of the innovation system. Taken as a whole, the volume points the way towards a more comprehensive framework for understanding the nature of innovation in SMEs and micro firms. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of European Planning Studies.

This volume explores the ways in which knowledge and innovation impact business and economic sustainability, offering a wide-ranging and richly illustrated study of knowledge, innovation and sustainability of organizations from a dynamic capabilities perspective. In organizational theory, dynamic capability is defined as an organization’s ability to react and adapt adequately and rapidly to external change. In today’s global economy, pursuing sustainable strategies and practices is critical to organizational success. Complying with externally and internally imposed sustainability targets might initially appear as a restriction for organizations; however, they can be transformed into a new set of opportunities. This means that the classic ways in which management absorbs the experiences associated with evolving conditions, organizational frameworks and markets must be reconsidered in light of the preservation of the technological, environmental and social ecosystems. Featuring research and case studies from sectors such as NGOs, SMEs, education and agriculture, this book offers students, academics, practitioners and policymakers a multi-faceted understanding of how and why knowledge, innovation and sustainability are intricately linked—and offers insight into best practices that balance organizational and societal needs.

Countries have been competing against each other in order to attract financial investment and human capital for decades. However, emerging economies have a long way to go before they achieve the same levels of competitiveness as a developed economy. Lack of firm institutions, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of trust in the legal system are urgent and unavoidable factors that emerging economies must address. The Handbook of Research on Increasing the Competitiveness of SMEs provides innovative insights on integrating, adapting, and building models and strategies compatible with the development of competitiveness in small and medium enterprises in emerging countries. The content within this publication examines quality management, organizational leadership, and digital security. It is designed for policymakers, entrepreneurs, managers, executives, business professionals, academicians, researchers, and students.
