Impacto de los obstáculos al conocimiento en la innovación de las empresas chilenas

Factors explaining firms’ receipt of public funding for innovation: the case of Chilean small and medium-sized enterprises

“…Previous studies in Chile have focused mainly on the relationship between firms' productivity and innovative variables (Benavente, 2005;Álvarez et al, 2010) and recently on the impact of knowledge obstacles to introduce innovations (Canales & Álvarez, 2017) but have not analyzed what factors influence the probability of obtaining public financing. Therefore, this study seeks to determine the factors that affect the receipt of public support for innovation in small and medium-sized firms, considering cross-sectional data from the different versions of the Innovation Surveys.…”

Innovation as Competitiveness Driving Force Through the Resources and Capacities of SMEs in Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and Dominican Republic

“…According to Barney et al (2011) and Bedoya and Arango, (2017), the new direction of resource-based studies should contemplate the analysis of the maximum set of variables to present a theoretical and practical understanding of the heterogeneity of resources. Historically, the resource-based study only contemplates one to two variables in which the literature reveals positive impacts on innovation capacity (Ajayi, 2016;Asikhia, 2010;Bedoya & Arango, 2017;Canales & Álvarez, 2017;Cruz, 2018;Didonet et al, 2016;González, 2017;López & Contreras, 2009;Schumpeter 2000;Zontek, 2016). When contemplating the set of most analyzed variables (EO, MO, SC and HC) in the literature through the HCM, it presents a valuable contribution of how the heterogeneity in the variable resources is observed.…”

“…In addition, other studies conclude that the innovation capacity of a SME in HC results in greater competitiveness in the competing sector (Marulanda et al, 2016;Rocca et al, 2016). On the other hand, some researchers sustain that HC reflects a lesser impact or is not a factor that influences innovation capacity (Canales & Álvarez, 2017, Cruz, 2018González, 2017;Zontek, 2016). Cruz (2018) argue that the HC has an influence on the innovation strategy, but sometimes it is not observed as a source of innovation since from their specific perspective they observe it as a resource that executes specific tasks.…”

The State of Markets for Technology in Chile

“…Following the same path, Cruz (2008) argues that although Chile present a low level of innovation, the country has been advanced slowly. Finally, Canales & Álvarez (2017) show that there are obstacles, such as financial restrictions and the low availability of human resources and information on markets and new technologies, that reduce the likelihood of innovation of Chilean companies. Regarding the output measures, Chile does not provide comprehensive or comparable information for all of them.…”
