TY - JOUR TI - Creators of competitiveness in the textile and clothing industry from the Hidalgo state AU - Hernández-Gracia, Tirso Javier AU - Duana-Avila, Danae T2 - Industria Textila AB - Nowadays, technological innovation is a very important agent not only in the business sector, but also in the research sector, especially when it is related to factors such as competitiveness, since it is perceived as a determinant for the future of the industry and business development. This research presents the development of the work “Generalities of the textile industry and its relevance in the business competitiveness of medium-sized companies in the state of Hidalgo” in which the competitiveness of some Hidalgo organizations in the industrial sector is analysed based on innovation in technology. The work consists of a theoretical review and the application of instruments to medium-sized companies in the industrial sector, considering the database of the Mexican Business Information System (SIEM). Based on the above, an instrument was created that allows knowing if the competitiveness in the industries depends on the technology implemented in these organizations. The work was carried out in two stages: in principle, a brief theoretical framework is developed in which the importance of innovation in technology for the competitiveness of companies in the textile industry is explained and, subsequently, the way is opened to the Field research, where this relationship is analysed for the particular case of medium-sized Hidalgo companies. It should be noted that these are the partial results derived from the creation of the measurement instrument and the application of a pilot test to these companies.
