Factors that impact the innovation capability in MSMEs: case of Colombia's Atlántico Department

Since there is no consensus in the previous literature on the factors that affect innovation capability in the context of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), the objective of the article is to analyze the variables that affect this capability in industrial MSMEs in Colombia's Atlantico Department. For this, we develop a positivist, explanatory, and non-experimental cross-sectional study, using a survey applied to 400 industrial MSMEs. The results show that organizational learning, intellectual capital, and knowledge management directly and statistically significantly affect innovation capability. We concluded that in this type of company flexibility, informality, and control style, favor the development of strategies that allow the organization to face the environments demands, based on innovative and sustainable solutions.
