“…Scholars found complementarities between the use of advanced technologies and both product and process innovation (Musolesi & Huiban, ), a significant and positive influence on process innovation but not on product (Hall, Lotti, & Mairesse, ; Tang, ), or else no significant relations at all either with product or with process innovation (Amara, Landry, & Doloreux, ). With regard to internationalization, while some scholars found that the use of advanced technologies increase internationalization probability (Estrada & Heijs, ), others found nonsignificant relations (Lal, ). This leads to the development of hypotheses H6 .…”

This article seeks to provide more insights on the two‐way link between internationalization and innovation by considering total, direct, and reciprocal effects using a nonrecursive structural model. Innovation is defined through product and process development, while internationalization is defined through inward and outward internationalization in both closer and farther markets. The results suggest that these two major sources of growth are linked by different sets of relations, from the investment in product and process innovation to outward internationalization in a closer market, or from inward and outward internationalization in farther markets to the investment in product innovation.

“…Aunque parece haber, también, alguna influencia de la localidad. Esta situación puede estar relacionada con los diferentes resultados e interpretaciones de los modelos explicativos de la probabilidad y propensión exportadora (Estrada 2005, Estrada y Heijs, 2006. Mientras que en los primeros las capacidades de aprendizaje e innovación tienen un claro efecto, en los segundos, es probable, que estas capacidades estén mediadas por el capital relacional.…”

Resumen: Este trabajo analiza la gestión del conocimiento en pequeñas y medianas empresas a partir de la perspectiva de la medición del capital intelectual. La evidencia empírica muestra que los recursos intangibles favorecen el desempeño competitivo. El objetivo es identificar el capital intelectual incorporado en prácticas de gestión del conocimiento y analizar su influencia en el desempeño competitivo. La fuente de información es una encuesta en la industria mexicana de maquinados industriales. Mediante análisis multivariados se identifican grupos de prácticas y se estima su influencia sobre el desempeño competitivo. Los resultados muestran que el capital humano está asociado al cumplimiento de una amplia gama de objetivos competitivos, mientras que el capital tecnológico y el relacional tienen efectos selectivos.Palabras clave: capital intelectual, recursos intangibles, análisis multivariado, maquinados, México.Abstract: This paper analyzes the Knowledge Management Practices (KMP) in small and medium enterprises from an intellectual capital measurement approach. The empirical review shows than intangibles resources enhance the competitive performance. The main purpose of this research focuses on identifying the intellectual capital embodied on KMP and analyzing its influence on competitive performance. The source of information relies on a survey of the machine shop Mexican industry. Sets of KMP are revealed through the use of multivariate analysis and its influence on competitive performance is assessed. The results show that human capital is related to a wide range of competitive goals while the technological and the relational capital have a more narrow effect on those goals.

“…Likewise, Özçelik and Taymaz, (2004) found similar results for Turkish firms, where product innovativeness was not significant in explaining their export propensity. On the contrary, Estrada and Heijs (2006) found that product innovation strategy had a negative effect on Mexican firms' export propensity.…”

Purpose\ud By applying the logic of the resource-based view and process-based internationalisation theory, this study aims to provide a better understanding of the effects of product innovation capability on the export scope of firms based in developing countries and the role of export experience as a facilitating mechanism.\ud \ud Design/methodology/approach\ud Using survey data obtained from three developing countries, two main research hypotheses were empirically tested: a quadratic relationship exists between product innovation capability and export scope and export experience has a moderating effect in this relationship.\ud \ud Findings\ud Product innovation capability and export scope have a U-shaped relationship, and export experience exerts a moderating effect. The greater the export experience is, the more the relationship between product innovation and export scope changes, taking on a more inverted U-shaped form.\ud \ud Practical implications\ud Firms based in developing countries need to catch-up on innovation capabilities before being able to succeed in international markets. Managers must be aware that initial investments in product innovation could not pay off immediately and that significant additional efforts might be needed to obtain noteworthy results in terms of international expansion.\ud \ud Originality/value\ud This study is among the first to focus on the curvilinear relationship between product innovation capability and export scope for firms based in developing countries while accounting for the moderating role of firms’ export experience
