Entrepreneurial capabilities and innovation in firms from late industrialising countries: a case study of a Mexican firm
by Arturo Torres; Javier Jasso
International Journal of Work Innovation (IJWI), Vol. 2, No. 1, 2017

Abstract: This paper analyses the role of entrepreneurial capabilities (EC) in the process of innovation of firms from late industrialising countries. The article characterises the emergence and growth of a Mexican firm with regard to the complexity and configuration of those capabilities, since the time when it was founded as a small distributor of products, until it acquired technological and organisational capabilities for the design and production of medical care devices. The argument is that as a firm gradually undertakes more complex activities, 'entrepreneurial capabilities' evolve and in that process, individual entrepreneurial capabilities become collective capabilities internalised in the firm's routines.
