Abstract
This paper delves into the strategic dimensions influencing the adoption of environmental innovations (EIs) in small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) in Mexico City. Employing a mixed-methods approach combining documentary analysis and expert interviews, the study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of integrating EI practices in the context of manufacturing SMEs. Qualitative methodology was chosen to explore experiences, perceptions, and practices related to EI adoption, acknowledging its ability to capture the complexity and richness of data. Through systematic literature review and semi-structured interviews with Corporate Social Responsibility experts, causal relationships and key factors influencing EI adoption were identified. The data analysis involved constructing causal maps and applying the Viable System Model to comprehend the interactions and dynamics within the organizational systems.
