    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-08-22) Murrieta Oquendo, María Elena; De La Vega Hernández, Iván Manuel
    The purpose of this study was to analyze the current state and dynamics of the innovative behavior of medium and large manufacturing firms in Peru and Ecuador. It has been shown that the factors that enhance or enable the possibilities of innovation in organizations can be internal or external. This study took a quantitative approach, and regression models were applied to samples composed of firms. The relationships between external factors and business resources following the implementation of innovation were analyzed, as was the impact that these factors had on sales performance, considering the effect of the size and age of the firms. The innovations most implemented in firms in Ecuador were processes, and in Peru, organizational innovations were predominant. There were no external factors orbusiness resources statistically related to these types of innovation for each country. For Peruvian firms,the age of the firm presented an inverse relationship to its performance. The study confirms the results of other studies conducted in Peru, and for Ecuador, these findings represent one of the first contributions on this topic. This study contributes to the discussion of the effects, in emerging Latin American countries, of a firm’s age on its ability to innovate. This research contributes to the discussion on the effects in emerging Latin American countries, which are characterized by a weak regulatory infrastructure, inadequate support for market transactions and intellectual property rights.
