Innovation for integration into supplier networks of multinational companies

The purpose of this work is to demonstrate that innovation promotes the probability of small companies to be a part of the supplier networks of large companies established in the local industrial parks. This is specifically demonstrated through the design of a logistic regression model, which indicates that the greater the number of innovations (product, process, administration, and commercialization) the greater the probability of a small company chosen at random to be a supplier for the multinational companies that lead global value networks. The hypothesis tests are carried out on a random sample of metal-mechanic and information technology companies of Sonora. This was based on the results of previous investigations, where it is demonstrated that this type of companies is in better conditions to participate in the supplier networks of large companies.
