Abstract

Innovation is a crucial capability for businesses wanting to successfully emerge from the complexities imposed by the current disruptive times. The literature points to a variety of factors influencing innovation. However, this paper explores the correlation of three underpinning factors impacting innovation in the manufacturing sector. These factors include Knowledge Management, Intellectual Capital, and Competitive Intelligence. This research presents evidence by evaluating Mexican manufacturing companies established in the Torreon, Coahuila region of Northeast Mexico. A quantitative methodology has been adopted with a non-experimental and transversal, correlational-causal analysis, collecting data in a single trial approach. Findings highlight the degree of influence and the interrelationships between the two factors explored. The paper concludes with some implications for businesses aiming to maximize innovation practices.
