Abstract

The debate on eco-innovation is a relatively recent and emerging topic in the literature, and although it is gaining interest among cientific, academic, and enterprise community, and the analysis and discussion in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises is in an embryonic stage, especially in emerging economy countries, such as Mexico. In this sense, the objective of this research is to analyze the most important eco-innovation types that affect eco-innovation adoption in manufacturing SMEs. The results obtained follow that product eco-innovation, process eco-innovation and management eco-innovation are good eco-innovation types adoption of small and medium-sized companies in the automotive industry.
