Abstract:
En este artículo, describimos los datos recogidos en las entrevistas realizadas a 101 directores de producción y en las visitas posteriores a sus plantas. En nuestros análisis, podemos observar que existen diferencias significativas en el grado de uso de determinadas herramientas de gestión de la producción, cuando agrupamos a las empresas por tipo de producto que fabrican. También hemos apreciado que las empresas con más de 150 trabajadores en plantilla, usan más las herramientas contempladas en nuestra investigación (ISO-9000, mejora continua en grupos, mantenimiento preventivo, controles de calidad…). Además, hemos comprobado que existen algunas herramientas, como por ejemplo el SMED, que apenas se han implantado en las empresas del sector.

Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to review the concept of innovation capacity in higher education students, proposing
constructs for a measurement model of innovation capacity as a second-order formative model and validation of measurement
scales with 332 students from a Spanish university. The proposed model can be considered to meet, in general, the criteria for
content validity and the validation tests suitable for the formative model. Thus, the academic community can benefit from a validated
measurement instrument that can be used in the future to collect data on dependent and independent variables in causal
models. The paper also presents a contribution for teaching professionals interested in measuring the degree of development of
innovation competence in their students.
Keywords: questionnaire validation, innovation, competence, capacity, skills, assessment, higher education, PLS.
Resumen: Este trabajo presenta una definición de la capacidad de innovación de los estudiantes universitarios. Para ello se propondrá
el modelo de medida de las variables latentes, considerando la capacidad de innovación como un modelo de segundo orden
formativo. Las escalas se han validado con una muestra de 332 estudiantes universitarios españoles. Podemos considerar que
el modelo propuesto cumple, en general, con los criterios de validez de contenido y las pruebas de validación de escalas formativas.
Ofrecemos a la comunidad académica un instrumento validado que puede ser usado, en el futuro, para medir variables dependientes
o independientes de modelos causales. También representa una contribución para los profesores universitarios interesados
en evaluar el grado de desarrollo de la competencia de innovación en sus alumnos.
Palabras clave: validación de cuestionario, innovación, competencia, capacidad, habilidades, evaluación, universidad, PLS.

Abstract:
This paper presents a technique that mathematically models relationships between operations and materials, which amends the usual technique used to model Materials and Resources Requirement Planning through Mathematical Programming. This technique represents operations and materials requirement planning by extending the bill of materials concept beyond the Gozinto structure. This so-called Generic Materials and Operations Planning (GMOP) Problem is based on the “stroke” concept. The decision variables are the operations (strokes) each resource is capable of, and not materials or resources. This form extends modeling capacity to transformation operations, resource and product substitution, and material transportation. It considers most conventional bills of materials types (direct, alternative and reverse BOMs, alternative resources and routings) with the same data structure. It contemplates multi-level problem modeling, and even packaging and alternative transport modes. The same data structure represents these characteristics. The problem, its mathematical modeling approach and examples illustrating its use are provided.

Keyword: Alternative bill of materials; Alternative operations; Alternative routings; Generic Materials and Operations Planning; Material Requirement Planning; Packaging; Product substitution; Reverse bill of materials; Stroke; Supply chain management.

Abstract:
Purpose – Scholars in social sciences tend to use the term of path dependence without explaining
exactly what they mean by it Path dependence is a useful approach to understand the success or
otherwise of the implementation of management innovation. The aim of this paper is to identify under
which conditions it makes sense to talk about path dependence, and the relevance of using path
dependence to the analysis of management innovation
Designlmethodology/appmach – The path dependence literature in different contexts and
knowledge areas within social science is reviewed using a nanative approach
Findings – The concept of path dependence can be used to study management innovation,
particular ly when analyzing the introduction of new management practices The authors argue that
the order in which management practices are introduced has a profound effect on the outcomes for the
organization When the appropriate practices are introduced first, these create enhanced capabilities
for the implementation of subsequent practices. If inappropriate practices are rolled out, they may
severely impede management innovation and thus evolution and change of the firm
Research limitations/implications – This work highlights the need to conduct further research to
understand the interaction between existing practices and the new ones This study can be extended
with an empirical work to corroborate the results presented here
Originality/value – By reviewing the different definitions of path dependence that exist in the
literature, this paper will stimulate a debate on the necessary and sufficient conditions of path
dependence and encourage a greater level of clarity in the management innovation area.

1. Introduction
In an increasingly competitive environment, in which changes happen so r§lpidly,
organizations endeavor to evolve in order to achieve a sustainable competitive
advantage .. Firms’ emphasis on maximizing flexibility and adaptability to continuous
change becomes key to ensure future success changes (Adamides and Pomonis, 2009;
Antonelli, 2009; Burnes, 2004b; Farinos  et aI, 2011; Karlsson and Ahlstrom, 1996;
The work described in this paper has been supported by the project “CORSARI MAGIC
DPI201O-18243” by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion del Gobierno de Españia within the
Program de “Proyectos de Investigacion Fundamental No Orientada” ..
