The construction of innovative environments has been understood as one of the basic conditions for sustaining and expanding the competitive capacity of organizations. This work proposes to fill gaps in the studies about innovativeness effects on competitiveness in emerging countries specifically from the electric and electronic industry perspective. The innovativeness was analysed from three first-order constructs: organizational learning, predisposition for innovation and innovation diffusivity. Competitiveness was studied by performance. The cross-section data were collected through a survey with 102 executives from the supply network of the Brazilian electrical and electronic industry and were analysed using descriptive statistics and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) techniques. The results indicate that there is a significant positive relationship between innovativeness and competitiveness, highlighting the robustness of two factors (predisposition for innovation and innovation diffusivity), and the three first-order constructs are significant predictors of competitiveness. The theoretical and managerial implications recommend knowledge-sharing practices, technical qualification and management incentive to people's innovative attitude as a basis for building innovative environments and expanding competitiveness.

网络化组织中创新与竞争力的关系：巴西电气电子行业的视角

创新环境的建设被理解为组织保持和扩大竞争能力的基本条件之一。这项工作旨在填补有关创新性对新兴国家竞争力的影响研究的空白，特别是从电气和电子行业的角度。创新性从三个一级结构分析：组织学习、创新倾向和创新扩散。竞争力是通过表现来研究的。横截面数据是通过对来自巴西电气和电子行业供应网络的 102 位高管的调查收集的，并使用描述性统计和偏最小二乘结构方程模型 (PLS-SEM) 技术进行分析。结果表明，创新性和竞争力之间存在显着的正相关关系，突出了两个因素（创新倾向和创新扩散性）的稳健性，三个一阶构造是竞争力的显着预测因子。理论和管理意义建议知识共享实践、技术资格和管理激励对人们的创新态度，作为构建创新环境和扩大竞争力的基础。
