Abstract

This paper analyzes through a case study, the premises of a previous investigation carried out in 184 companies in the Argentine software sector, referring to the positive moderating effect of the absorption capacity of knowledge on the impact of innovative effort and networks. inter-organizational on the innovative result in companies. This case study analyzes a SME company in the sector, founded in 2009 and still in activity, with two clearly differentiated stages based on its innovative result. In this case, it is clear how the innovative effort of the company can be positive in the innovative result.
