VARGAS MARTINEZ, Elva Esther; BAHENA ALVAREZ, Irene Liliana  and  CORDON POZO, Eulogio. RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION: NEW ENTREPRENEURSHIP STRATEGY FOR MSMEs. Innovar [online]. 2018, vol.28, n.69, pp.41-53. ISSN 0121-5051.  https://doi.org/10.15446/innovar.v28n69.71695.

Research related to responsible innovation has focused mainly on large companies. However, there is evidence of disperse knowledge on responsible innovation in the context of MSMES among different disciplines and research communities. Through the analysis of 75 papers and documents published between 2010-2015, obtained from the databases EBSCO, Emerald and Scopus, this article contributes to the theoretical identification of conceptual and methodological constructs and provides empirical results for recovering the factors that affect the entrepreneur-ship of responsible innovations in MSMES, presenting a comprehensive perspective of the phenomenon. Results show that MSMES with an entrepreneurial orientation will play a decisive and leading role in the cycles of responsible innovation to come, as part of the search for solutions to the multiple environmental and social problems through radical innovations.
