Abstract
RESUMEN
La innovación tecnológica es un proceso ligado a la generación de conocimiento y la manera en la que las empresas aprenden y desarrollan innovaciones depende del contexto particular en el que se desenvuelven. Dado el potencial de diseminación que la biotecnología tiene y, por tanto, su capacidad para apuntalar una oleada de crecimiento en otros sectores, el presente estudio se centra en conocer y medir las capacidades de innovación, así como sus factores determinantes en empresas biotecnológicas mexicanas. Los resultados muestran que la existencia de redes (financieras, de conocimiento, de colaboración, entre otras) que permitan generar un flujo adecuado de conocimiento, así como de capacidades de las empresas para aprovecharlo, son factores determinantes del dinamismo innovador.
DETERMINANTS OF INNOVATION ABILITIES IN MEXICO’S BIOTECHNOLOGY SECTOR
ABSTRACT
Technological innovation is a process linked to the generation of knowledge and the way in which companies learn and develop innovations. It depends on the particular context in which firms operate. As the potential of biotechnology has to support a wave of growth in other sectors, this study focuses on identifying and measuring innovation capabilities, as well as the determinants of such capabilities in the Mexican biotechnology companies. The results show that the existence of networks (financial, knowledge, collaboration, among others) that allow generating both an adequate flow of knowledge and the capacities of companies to take advantage of such knowledge, are determining factors of the innovative dynamism.Article Details
