Currently, adaptation to change is achieved with key elements such as innovation in organizations. Therefore, this work determined the main factors of innovation and competitiveness in the automotive autoparts industry in México. For this, a Likert questionnaire was applied to a final sample of 141 companies and a factorial analysis and a multiple regression were carried out. The results conclude a positive and significant relationship between the internal competitiveness factor and the organizational innovation factor. It is suggested to study the exogenous factors of innovation and competitiveness in future research.
