“…These findings between OLE and CSR are in the same direction as the theories of organizational learning and the theory based on resources. Therefore, it is important to report that these business resources and capabilities are complementary and have a two-way effect [142,143]. That is, when managers stop learning and developing knowledge flows throughout the company, the results of CSR strategies will decrease [6,144].…”

The main objective of this article is to examine the effects of the organizational learning and corporate social responsibility (social, economic and environmental) practices that exert on the financial performance of SMEs (small and medium enterprises). The research is based on a sample of 343 companies of which 19.8% belong to the primary sector, 26.6% to the secondary sector and 53.6% to the tertiary sector of the northwestern region of Mexico. The data were collected from February to May 2018 with the support of a self-directed structured survey of company managers. For the analysis and validation of the results, the statistical technique of the structural equations model (SEM) based on the variance was used to validate the structured relationships in this investigation through PLS (partial least squares). These analyses were prepared with the support of SmartPLS version 3.2.8 Professional. The results indicate that OLE (organizational learning) is a key element to strengthen CSR (corporate social responsibility) practices and increase financial performance in these types of companies, and that CSR is key to increasing financial performance. In addition, it was found that the OLE is a variable that mediates the relationship between CSR and financial performance. The work contributes to the development of the literature of organizational learning, the theory of resources and capabilities, and stakeholder theory

“…In this same direction, we find that H1 has a strong effect on logistics processes in SMEs. These findings allow us to state that organizations with innovative capabilities that collect information and knowledge from both the interior (management advice, employee experience, repositories information and training) and from abroad (training, consultant advice, support from universities and research centers), they are exploiting it to the fullest and they are also using their resources in ecological actions within their logistics processes (Brink, 2018;Teece, 2010Teece, , 2016. These higher-level strategies make them companies with sustainable and increasingly competitive business approaches and models (Mention, 2011;Mishra, 2017;West et al, 2014).…”

“…Estudios más recientes como el de Müller, Buliga, y Voigt (2018) y de Ibarra, Ganzarain, y Igartua (2018), han expuesto que las estrategias de las Pymes, han estado en evolución en los últimos cinco años. En este lapso las organizaciones emprendedoras e innovadoras han desarrollado acciones que se centran en las capacidades tecnológicas, en la proactividad hacia el emprendimiento, en la capacidad para la construcción de redes colaborativas del conocimiento (aprendizaje colectivo) y en las acciones que incluyen la mejora de los procesos de automatización para mejorar sus productos e incrementar las cadenas de valor (Brink, 2018;Teece, 2016). Todo ello ha permitido resultados incalculables, destacándose: la mejora de la imagen empresarial, una mayor actividad innovadora, la transferencia del conocimiento individual al colectivo, la satisfacción de los clientes y el incremento de la rentabilidad financiera del negocio (Müller et al, 2018;Teece, 2016;Zahra, Zheng, & Yu, 2017).…”

En tiempos modernos la competitividad es un desafío y oportunidad para las organizaciones. La globalización de los mercados y la introducción de las nuevas tecnologías en los nuevos modelos de negocios, las grandes empresas, y más las Pymes, requieren de estrategias que las impulsen hacia el fortalecimiento de su competitividad y el aumento de la rentabilidad. Para ello, las Pymes están incorporando acciones que se derivan de las capacidades dinámicas, entre las que se destacan la orientación hacia el emprendimiento, el aprendizaje organizacional, la I+D, y las estrategias de mercado. El objetivo principal es analizar si las capacidades dinámicas y la orientación emprendedora, tienen influencia sobre las actividades de Innovación y la Rentabilidad que se manifiesta en la Pyme. El estudio se focaliza en una muestra de 1,012 Pymes de la región Noroeste de México; la recolección de los datos se realizó a través de una encuesta estructurada dirigida al gerente de la empresa durante el periodo de septiembre a diciembre del año 2016. La técnica estadística basada en el análisis de la varianza a través del Método de Ecuaciones Estructurales (SEM) con apoyo de Partial Least Square (PLS), fue utilizada para la comprobación de las hipótesis. Los resultados revelan que las capacidades dinámicas tienen una fuerte influencia sobre las variables: orientación emprendedora, la actividad innovadora y la rentabilidad de la Pyme. Además, encontramos que la orientación emprendedora y las actividades de innovación influyen de forma significativa en la rentabilidad de la Pyme. La investigación contribuye al desarrollo de la literatura de las capacidades dinámicas y de la orientación emprendedora
