N2 - The present study analyzes the profiles of Ecuadorian companies according to the maturity of the value chain in the fields of planning, installed capacity, maintenance, and technology. Cluster analysis was used with a sample of 120 microenterprises located in the south of Ecuador. The study showed that technology is a differentiating factor in innovation performance, and planning is a factor highly related to the innovative and organizational performance levels in microenterprises. The findings contribute to the resource-based view (RBV) and provide relevant information for Ecuadorian enterprise managers.
