Resumen

The aim of this research is to go in-depth on the effect of competitiveness on innovation and the results.We have applied the analysis in an area characterized by the technological intensity of the productionchains: the manufacturers of components of the Spanish automotive industry. We have used data from the2008 economic downturn period to reduce the impact of the innovation performance lag. The sampleincluded a total of 920 companies (81% SMEs and 19% large companies). In the context of the 2008economic downturn, it is found that companies that are less innovative experience worse results and,more important, that there is a threshold of innovation from which marginal productivity is decreasing.From the theoretical approaches used and in our opinion, it marks the boundary between the Structure-Conduct-Outcome paradigm and the Resource-Capacity-Based Approach.
