Abstract

This work presents the conclusions achieved after conducting a study focused on a sample of 251 Spanish companies with recognized excellence in human resources management. Results highlight the need of implementing adequate information systems to promote radical innovation. In addition, it is necessary to facilitate organizational contexts that encourage dialogue, experimentation, risk-taking, participative decision-making and openness to the external environment.
