INDICADORES DE INNOVACIÓN TECNOLÓGICA EN EL SECTOR INDUSTRIAL COLOMBIANO

INDICADORES DE INNOVACIÓN TECNOLÓGICA EN EL SECTOR INDUSTRIAL COLOMBIANO

2015 | Júlio Cesar Caro Moreno
This paper develops a series of innovation indicators in the Colombian manufacturing industry to illustrate the dynamics and evolution of corporate innovation. Data was mainly collected from the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE), contributing to statistical data on technical and innovative change in Colombia between 2004 and 2011. Results showed which companies are innovative (and which are not) and whether they develop radical, incremental, or transformational innovation. The scope of innovation in products, processes, commercialization, and organization was also identified. The paper presents indicators of occupied personnel and investment in Science, Technology, and Innovation Activities (ACTI), especially the number of investors, the amount invested, and the participation of investment per company. It is concluded that, when comparing the participation of innovative companies in different periods analyzed, over time, fewer companies develop innovative activities, and potentially innovative companies have been decreasing in participation, indicating that fewer industrial companies are planning to obtain a new or improved product or process in the international or national market. Key words: Innovation, Industry, Indicators. JEL: O300, O320, O380.This paper develops a series of innovation indicators in the Colombian manufacturing industry to illustrate the dynamics and evolution of corporate innovation.
