Resumen

Las empresas de manufactura se esfuerzan por ser innovadoras y, de esta manera, ser competitivas en el mercado. Estas empresas son muy importantes en una economía emergente debido a su contribución al producto bruto interno y a la generación de puestos de trabajo para la población. Por ello, el objetivo de este estudio es identificar cuáles son los factores internos y externos que mejoran la capacidad de innovación de las empresas peruanas de manufactura y, a su vez, favorecen su competitividad. Para ello, se aplicó un enfoque cualitativo basado en el modelo de las seis C de Glaser, que forma parte de la teoría fundamentada, y se entrevistó a los gerentes de las empresas de manufactura peruanas. A partir del análisis y procesamiento de estos datos con el software de análisis cualitativo Atlas ti, se encontró que los proveedores y los clientes proporcionan valiosa información para innovar, y que la aplicación del diseño y la adquisición de maquinaria favorecen las innovaciones de estas empresas. En esa medida, este estudio cualitativo contribuye a identificar aquellos factores que ayudan a las empresas de manufactura peruanas a mejorar su capacidad de innovación. Así, los gerentes de las empresas de manufactura deben identificar aquellos factores que favorecen la implementación de innovaciones y, de esta manera, lograrán que sus empresas sean más competitivas.
