Abstract

This chapter is based on a work of approximately twelve years implementing the MMOM (Model of Modernization for Organizational Management) in about 310 Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). In this way we wanted to analyze which of sixteen components better explain the behavior of innovation management and knowledge. This is in order to present to the entrepreneurs of this type of companies and to the academics, that a series of activities in which to concentrate to develop this component. A multivariate analysis was carried out, specifying a dependent variable in the innovation and knowledge component. The remaining fifteen elements act as independent variables, in such a way that this statistical model yielded the predictive mathematical equation. This equation showed that showed those factors that work preferentially in order to develop innovative SMEs.
