An explanatory quantitative study was carried out in a sample of 71 Mexican companies. Equation modeling was used. These tested the influence of innovation on business performance, learning orientation, and market orientation. The significant influence of innovation on performance was also revealed through the mediation of learning and market orientation. Innovation is thus highlighted as a primary factor of performance to visualize better business conditions and expectations.
