The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of the structural capital of SMEs in the capacity of innovation and organizational performance, in the context of an emerging country.,The sample consisted of 259 industrial SMEs from the province of Cordoba Argentina. The data was analyzed by Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS–SEM).,The study provided evidence that acquisition of information and knowledge management, organizational culture and structure, systems and processes have positive and significant effects on the innovation capacity of SMEs. Only the communication and cohesion component did not show positive and significant results on it. It also showed a positive and significant relationship between the capacity for innovation in processes and performance, contributing to the scarce empirical literature in the context of SMEs.,The research exposes some limitations that uncover a path for the development of future lines of research. In the first place, the work focuses on the use of a single source of information, the consultation at the managerial level of the company, without considering other representative variables to measure the capacity for innovation. Second, the study covered only companies in the industrial sector and country. Future studies should focus on other sectors and countries.,The results of the study can have important practical implications for the owners and managers of SMEs. The results offer a vision of the dimensions of structural capital that most influence the innovative capacity of the organization. This is especially useful given that in the context of Argentina there is a low level of knowledge and structural capital is key to being more competitive. The managers of SMEs can thus increase the innovative potential of the company and favor the acquisition of information and knowledge and improve its processes and systems to contribute to the development of innovation capabilities to make SMEs more competitive.,The results obtained can be useful for those responsible for making public policy decisions, since in the knowledge of the economy to maintain a developed state and nation, it is necessary to include as one of the main issues on the national agenda the improvement of intellectual capital of its people to promote the competitiveness of companies.,The research contributes to the development of intellectual capital literature focused on the generation of innovation and performance in the perspective of SMEs in emerging countries.

工业SMES的结构资本，创新和绩效

这项研究的目的是在新兴国家的背景下，分析中小企业结构资本对创新能力和组织绩效的影响。该样本包括来自阿根廷科尔多瓦省的259家工业中小企业。通过偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS–SEM）对数据进行了分析。研究提供了证据，表明信息和知识管理，组织文化和结构，系统与过程的获取对中小企业的创新能力具有积极而显着的影响。只有交流和凝聚力部分没有显示积极和重要的结果。它还显示了流程创新能力和绩效之间的积极显着关系，这项研究揭示了一些局限性，这些局限性揭示了未来研究路线的发展之路。首先，工作重点是使用单一信息源，即公司管理层的咨询，而不考虑其他代表性变量来衡量创新能力。其次，该研究仅涵盖工业部门和国家/地区的公司。未来的研究应侧重于其他部门和国家。研究结果可能对中小企业的所有者和管理者具有重要的实际意义。结果为最能影响组织创新能力的结构性资本的规模提供了一个视角。鉴于阿根廷的知识水平较低，而结构性资本对于提高竞争力至关重要，因此这特别有用。因此，中小型企业的管理者可以增加公司的创新潜力，支持信息和知识的获取，并改善其流程和系统，以促进创新能力的发展，从而提高中小型企业的竞争力。负责制定公共政策，因为在了解经济知识以维持发达的国家和民族的情况下，有必要将改善人民的智力资本作为国家议程上的主要问题之一，以提高其竞争力。公司。，
