Productive capacity and technological efficiency: Analysis of their effects on manufacturing companies in Mexico

Abstract

The productive capacity and the technological efficiency are considered as important factors in the development of the resilience of companies, modifying the way in which they perform in a determined market even in the regulation of the operations of their assets, however, their relationship has been little analyzed, which would imply knowing how to make a company identify, overcome and adapt to unexpected events in the changing environment. Thus, in the present investigation, information was collected through a questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale aimed at manufacturing companies and with an analysis of structural equations, the analysis of the hypotheses raised on whether productive capacity and technological efficiency have an effect. positive on resilience, which allowed us to identify that productive capacity has a positive effect on resilience with ß = 0.36 and that technological efficiency has a positive effect on resilience with ß = 0.41, both with p < 0.05. These findings allow us to contribute to the understanding of how productivity and technology, seen from a capacity and efficiency perspective, allow a company to identify, adapt and overcome sudden changes in the environment as to understand how a company can develop a resilience process to thrive.
