| description | This research studies the underlying effects of open innovation on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and competitive advantage. The hypotheses were tested using structural equations in PLS-SEM for the data collected in a Likert scale instrument, to a sample of 102 fruit and vegetable SMEs in Valle del Cauca, Colombia. The results show that entrepreneurial orientation positively influences open innovation; In turn, open innovation affects competitive advantage, thus proving the mediating role of open innovation. In other words, it is not enough for SME managers to be proactive, risky and innovative to achieve competitive advantage, they must also incorporate open innovation practices to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. This study contributes to the emerging literature on the underlying effects of open innovation, as well as its effects on competitive advantage. |

Esta investigación estudia los efectos subyacentes de la innovación abierta en la relación entre la orientación emprendedora y la ventaja competitiva. Se comprobaron las hipótesis mediante ecuaciones estructurales en PLS-SEM para los datos recopilados en un instrumento de escala Likert, a una muestra de 102 PYMES hortofrutícolas en el Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Los resultados demuestran que la orientación emprendedora influye positivamente en la innovación abierta; a su vez la innovación abierta afecta la ventaja competitiva, comprobándose así el rol mediador de la innovación abierta. Es decir, no es suficiente que los gerentes de las PYMES sean proactivos, arriesgados e innovadores para alcanzar una ventaja competitiva, también deben incorporar prácticas de innovación abierta para lograr una ventaja competitiva sostenible. Este estudio contribuye a la literatura emergente sobre los efectos subyacentes de la innovación abierta, así como sus efectos en la ventaja competitiva.
