Abstract:ResumenEl objetivo de este trabajo es entender el proceso de regreso de científicos a Ecuador, con vistas a producir datos coherentes sobre los motivos de su regreso, sus redes sociales, políticas y disciplinarias en el país, lo que contribuye al esfuerzo de conocer las dinámicas de consolidación disciplinaria de los campos científicos, vinculadas con el exterior y, por lo tanto, el proceso de inserción del país en la nueva división internacional del trabajo. Para eso, el estudio utilizó las bases de datos de … Show more
“…• At the level of training in R&D&i, we agree with Sumba and Santistevan (2018) It is noteworthy to note that the level of education linked to master's and doctoral degrees at the time of analysis was a factor that the current study did not find to be statistically significant. Our findings imply that, at the time of analysis, the level of professionals is insufficient to influence innovation, despite the assertions made by authors like Hitner & Tapia (2018) that educational attainment can have an impact on the processes of innovation. According to the Ecuadorian statistics, only 10 out of every 1,000 adults of working age in Ecuador hold master's or doctoral degrees, suggesting that there are not many professionals with these profiles (INEC, 2023;SENESCYT, 2023).…”

Objective of the study: This study aims to identify and analyze the drivers of innovation in Ecuador.
Methodology/Approach: The significance of innovation drivers was investigated through an exploratory systematic review using a mapping innovation approach. Statistical methods were used to apply an empirical analysis based on the Ecuadorian survey on Science, Technology, and Innovation Activities (released 2017).
Originality/Relevance: As far as we are aware, this is the first study to investigate the drivers of innovation from a comprehensive approach of mapping innovation in Ecuador.
Main results: The management of innovation drivers in Ecuador often presents issues for 98% of non-innovative companies. The most relevant innovation driver in Ecuadorian companies is cooperation with external sources where partner geolocations worldwide play a significant role.
Theoretical/ Methodological Contribution: This study extends the framework of innovation drivers. The strengths and limitations of Ecuadorian innovation were identified from four perspectives of innovation drivers: internal innovation drivers, external innovation drivers, knowledge for innovation development, and investment in innovation.
Social/Management Contribution: This study contributes to the understanding of innovation drivers in developing countries.
