Businesses in Mexico, particularly small and mid-sized companies, are faced with numerous challenges: a lack of competition, difficulty in positioning and maintaining oneself in the market, irrational use of natural resources, and poverty in the environment in which they develop. In spite of these problems, many are able to succeed; however, there is limited knowledge about how these businesses could implement organizational changes that would positively impact their results.,Using dynamic capabilities theory and survey data obtained from pottery businesses in several artisan communities in Mexico through the application of face-to-face interviews, this paper analyzes the relationship between organizational capability for change (OCC) and economic and environmental performance.,This research proves that OCC positively and significantly impacts economic and environmental performance. Results contribute to the existing literature on OCC in the context of poverty.,This study offers empirical research that illustrates the relationship between OCC and the environmental and economic performance of pottery businesses. Additionally it contributes to a field of knowledge in progress; that is, OCC in contexts of subsistence where poverty is a constant issue. Artisans living in this context can also develop business capabilities that contribute to the permanence of their business in the market.

墨西哥手工业务的变革和绩效的组织能力

墨西哥的企业，尤其是中小型企业，面临着众多挑战：缺乏竞争，难以在市场中定位和维护自己，对自然资源的不合理使用以及发展环境的贫困。尽管存在这些问题，但许多人还是可以成功的。但是，关于这些企业如何实施会对其结果产生积极影响的组织变革的知识很少。使用动态能力理论和通过墨西哥面对面访谈从几个墨西哥工匠社区的陶器企业获得的调查数据，本文分析了组织的变革能力（OCC）与经济和环境绩效之间的关系。这项研究证明，OCC对经济和环境绩效产生了积极而显着的影响。研究结果为贫困背景下的OCC的现有文献做出了贡献。本研究提供了经验研究，阐明了OCC与陶器企业的环境和经济绩效之间的关系。此外，它有助于不断发展的知识领域；就是说，OCC是在贫困是一个长期问题的生存背景下。生活在这种情况下的工匠还可以发展业务能力，从而为其市场业务的持久性做出贡献。这项研究提供的经验研究说明了OCC与陶器企业的环境和经济绩效之间的关系。此外，它有助于不断发展的知识领域；就是说，OCC是在贫困是一个长期问题的生存背景下。生活在这种情况下的工匠还可以发展业务能力，从而为其市场业务的持久性做出贡献。这项研究提供的经验研究说明了OCC与陶器企业的环境和经济绩效之间的关系。此外，它有助于不断发展的知识领域；就是说，OCC是在贫困是一个长期问题的生存背景下。生活在这种情况下的工匠还可以发展业务能力，从而为其市场业务的持久性做出贡献。
