Resumen

En el panorama empresarial actual, la innovación es esencial para que las empresas aseguren su supervivencia y competitividad. Sin embargo, la innovación a menudo requiere inversiones sustanciales que pueden exceder los recursos internos de una empresa, lo que lleva a las empresas a buscar mecanismos alternativos, como la colaboración tecnológica con entidades externas y el gasto en I+D interno. La investigación ha demostrado que ambas estrategias influyen positivamente en el desempeño innovador de las empresas. Sin embargo, los factores que afectan el comportamiento organizacional y los resultados a menudo se pasan por alto. Las empresas familiares, caracterizadas por su estructura de propiedad única y sus objetivos financieros y no financieros entrelazados, son ideales para estudiar cómo estos objetivos afectan las decisiones de innovación. Este estudio tiene como objetivo determinar si la colaboración tecnológica y el gasto en I+D interno tienen un mayor efecto en los procesos de innovación de las empresas familiares en comparación con las empresas no familiares. Utilizando datos de 2.415 empresas españolas durante diez años, esta investigación contribuye a la literatura integrando la perspectiva de la riqueza socioemocional y demostrando que las empresas familiares están mejor equipadas para implementar y beneficiarse de estas estrategias para mejorar los resultados de la innovación.
