An application to the automotive components industry 2023 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Considering technological competitiveness in diversification processes as the existence of key technologiesthat guarantee the current and future effective running of firms in terms of their technological and oper-ational potential, this paper presents a multicriteria approach for its evaluation and provides an index formeasuring the technological competitiveness of diversification processes. The application of this multicriteriaapproach, based on the analytic hierarchy process, in three real technological diversification processes allows(i) the validation of the hierarchical model (five levels and 25 attributes) and the index (73 indicators) pro-posed for evaluating the technological competitiveness; (ii) the use of this hierarchical model and index toconfirm the suitability of the diversification process and to extract knowledge related to the technological andoperational potential of the firm; and (iii) the exploitation of this knowledge in order to guarantee the long-term survival of automotive components industry’s firms. The methodology finds the most relevant attributesin the automotive component sector (innovative capacity and activity, good functioning of the managementand finance departments). Its practical application determines the firm’s suitability for a diversification pro-cess, identifies the attributes that require some improvement, and the decision opportunities. After 5 years,the three companies that have been studied showed a behaviour aligned with the values and recommenda-tions of the index developed to assess technological competitiveness. The main limitation lies in the difficultyof studying companies if they change or disappear in the future. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FEDER/S35-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/LMP35_21 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 3.1 2023 MANAGEMENT 171 / 407 = 0.42 2023 Q2 T2 OPERATIONS RESEARCH & MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 34 / 106 = 0.321 2023 Q2 T1 1.027 2023 Business and International Management 2023 Q1 Computer Science Applications 2023 Q1 Strategy and Management 2023 Q1 Management Science and Operations Research 2023 Q1 Management of Technology and Innovation 2023 Q2 7.8 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Larrodé, Emilio Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5857-8003 Moreno-Jiménez, José María Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5037-6976 Royo, Beatriz 5004 530 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
