Additionally, categories of analysis were established related to digital, financial, labor, competitive, and environmental innovation, as well as technological challenges. This study shows that the integration of technology and smart management is a key factor for productivity, sustainability, and value creation in companies. Furthermore, the analyzed literature highlights situations and approaches that demonstrate positive results in sectors that have incorporated innovation as part of their corporate culture. Thus, it is emphasized that it is necessary to foster policies that promote open innovation and the adoption of technology, aspects that are crucial for the competitiveness and sustainability of organizations.
