Global epidemic crises, such as the coronavirus (COVID-19), usually expose small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to various kinds of challenges and may put their lives at risk. This study aims to develop a theoretical model to provide insights about the association between innovation practices and the SMEs’ performance and survival while underlining the auxiliary role of external support in such a relationship. Online questionnaire has been used to collect the data from 259 randomly selected SME managers in Saudi Arabia, and the data was analyzed using the SmartPLS3 software. The structural equation modeling results showed that the innovation practices adopted by SMEs to face the repercussions of COVID-19 had a positive impact on the performance and likelihood of business survival. PLS-SEM bootstrap results indicated that external support aids strengthen the positive impact of SMEs’ innovation practices on business survival rather than its performance. The study has several significant practical implications for SME managers, governments, and policy makers that have been stated.

“…Gran parte de estas empresas extranjeras que patentaban en España lo hacían de manera defensiva y rutinaria, sin explotar industrialmente sus derechos en este país. Su objetivo era bloquear la imitación y limitar la competencia, antes que establecer fábricas en territorio español (Sáiz y Pretel, 2013;Ortiz-Villajos, 2014). La excepción, aunque ya en el cambio de siglo, serán empresas como Vickers y Babcock & Wilcox, que establecerán fábricas subsidiarias o venderán las patentes a clientes españoles, facilitándoles asimismo equipamiento, maquinaria y personal (Pretel, 2012;Sáiz y Pretel, 2013).…”

Durante el siglo xix los sistemas de patentes de los distintos países tuvieron una evolución institucional heterogénea. Este artículo explora los determinantes internacionales de esta diversidad institucional tomando como estudio de caso el sistema español. En vez de trazar la causalidad de la institución al desempeño económico, se explora la relación inversa, es decir, cómo la dependencia y el retraso tecnológico españoles incidieron en la organización institucional de su sistema de patentes. El impacto de las dinámicas internacionales se hizo sentir en distintas esferas del sistema: en su naturaleza periférica, híbrida y dual; la recepción de las controversias europeas en torno a las patentes; la temprana integración de España en el sistema internacional de patentes; y el protagonismo de los intermediarios internacionales. Se concluye señalando que las variaciones en la arquitectura institucional y la práctica administrativa de los distintos sistemas nacionales fueron la consecuencia de la construcción de un sistema internacional de patentes asimétrico.
