This article examines how and to what extent unions affect companies' innovation in Chile. It contributes to the existing literature in the following two aspects: First, because it widens the scope of analysis focusing in a developing country that is characterized by some specificities regarding the innovation as well the union landscape. Second, because it provides more in-depth analysis, taking into account the effect of unions on the four different types of innovation proposed in the Oslo Manual by OECD. Results show that unions do not affect product and process innovation while influence organizational innovation and marketing in a non-linear way
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we show the importance of having a developed Market for Technology and how innovation affects countries' economic development. Second, using the main innovative indicators, we describe the current Market for Technology in Chile and discuss its possible impact on the country's economic development.
Frente a la creciente complejidad de los problemas sociales y de sustentabilidad de la sociedad moderna, han surgido distintas innovaciones sociales para generar soluciones a problemas que no son eficazmente atendidos por el sistema político-administrativo y económico.

A este esfuerzo, el mundo empresarial no ha estado ajeno, y en forma creciente empieza a vislumbrarse su interés por contribuir al desarrollo social. Dado lo anterior, este artículo busca analizar el desarrollo de la innovación social en las empresas en Chile, haciendo referencia al concepto y describiendo la situación actual
