Ambiente regional y desempeño innovador de las firmas. Una propuesta de análisis multinivel

Abstract

RESUMENEl objetivo del artículo es proponer un modelo de análisis multinivel de la innovación. Se exponen los debates acerca de los efectos del ambiente regional sobre el desempeño innovador de las firmas y se sostiene que la innovación se debe comprender desde una óptica multinivel que incluyan las características del ambiente regional así como las capacidades de la firma. Para lograr este objetivo, se construyó un modelo estadístico multinivel, el cual arrojó evidencia sobre los beneficios de este enfoque en la innovación empresarial. Los resultados sugieren el enfoque multinivel para futuras investigación sobre innovación.Palabras clave. Contexto regional; modelos multinivel; innovación empresarial.

Foreign Trade, Education, and Innovative Performance: A Multilevel Analysis

“…Second, differences in data collection procedures among Latin American countries often prevent meaningful comparisons across countries (Guillard and Salazar, 2017). So far, studies on Colombia that relate innovation systems with multilevel models have been limited to two levels, viz., firm and regional levels (Barrios-Aguirre, 2013;Zuluaga Jiménez et al, 2012). This study adds to the literature by considering an additional dimension of sectoral innovation, which allows us to perform a threelevel analysis (i.e., firm, sector, and region).…”

“…Second, differences in data collection procedures among Latin American countries often prevent meaningful comparisons across countries (Guillard and Salazar, 2017) . So far, studies for Colombia that relate innovation systems with multilevel models have been limited to two levels, i.e., firm and regional levels (Barrios-Aguirre, 2013;Zuluaga Jiménez et al, 2012) This study adds to the literature by considering an additional dimension of sectoral innovation which allows us to perform a three-level analysis (i.e., firm, sector and region). Accordingly, the main objective of this research is to determine if OEV and education variables have a significant relationship with the innovative performance of Colombian manufacturing firms in light of multilevel analysis.…”
