dc.description.abstractThis article aims to synthesize the existing literature on innovation in Latin America’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Through a PRISMA approach and based on data from 34 screened articles. A systematic literature review allowed us to understand the variables that compromise innovation implementation of in Latin American SMEs. These results show three main dimensions covering the unexplored side of innovation in Latin America: (1) Institutional environment, (2) Knowledge issues, and (3) Entrepreneurial traits. The findings shape a conceptual framework on the factors that hinder the innovation processes of SMEs in Latin America to integrate the substantive analysis efforts for future directions and research agendas about the topic.spa
dc.description.abstractEl objetivo de este artículo es hacer una síntesis de la literatura existente sobre la innovación en las pequeñas y medianas empresas (Pymes) de América Latina. A través de un enfoque PRISMA y a partir de los datos de 34 artículos seleccionados. La revisión sistemática de la literatura permitió conocer las varianles que comprometen la plena implementación de la innovación en las PYMES latinoamericanas. Los resultados muestran tres dimensiones principales que limitan la innovación para América Latina: (1) Barreras institucionales, (2) Limitaciones de conocimiento y (3) Rasgos empresariales. Los hallazgos conforman un marco conceptual sobre los factores que obstaculizan los procesos de innovación en el contexto de las Pymes de América Latina para integrar los esfuerzos en análisis sustantivo para futuras direcciones y agendas de investigación sobre el tema.eng
