Using 2,986 Latin American firms from 2009–2017 (LAIS), I test whether university collaboration strengthens the link between innovation spending and innovation outcomes. Findings: First, spending is positively related to outcomes, and collaboration significantly amplifies that payoff, resulting in the same budget and more innovation with a university partner. Collaboration quality matters. Managerially: co-design projects, align on IP, invest in advanced skills, and “rent” academic capabilities to de-risk R&D.

In times of crisis, SME entrepreneurs update and replace the firm’s resources and capabilities within strategic renewal processes in order to maintain organizational resilience. Appearing in the form of internal development and external sourcing, the outcomes of strategic renewal are explained by the synergy of individual, organizational, and environmental factors that reinforce SMEs’ dynamic capabilities. This research presents a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) of the conjunctural causality between multi-level dynamic capability configurations and SME strategic renewal outcomes.
