Replication Data for: Innovation in micro and small enterprises: Resources and capabilitieshttps://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/TODLHWRenata Braga Berenguer de VasconcelosJoséte Florencio dos SantosJackeline Amantino de AndradeHarvard Dataverse2020-07-192020-07-19T18:23:40ZObjective: the article aims to identify the relevant resources for the composition of management and transaction capabilities in the context of micro and small enterprises (MSEs). Method: through a literature review, the resources associated with the innovation were identified: leadership, people management, information and knowledge, customer, supplier, business-society relationships, and results. The resources were collected and measured using a structured questionnaire made available by the Local Agent for Innovation program, applied to 447 MSEs in the state of Pernambuco, between 2015 and 2017. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to verify how these resources contribute to the composition of capabilities. Results: the results demonstrate that management capability is composed of business-society and supplier relationships, leadership, information and knowledge sharing, and people management. And transaction capability is made up of the customer relationship and the results obtained by the firm. Conclusions: Although MSEs have restrictions on access to technologies, their organizational resources seem to contribute to the development of innovation capability and to obtain a competitive advantage.Business and ManagementInnovationDynamic capabilitiesResource theoryMicro and small enterprises.Vasconcelos, R.
