Abstract
Aunque la I+D se ha resaltado como la principal e indiscutible fuente de las innovaciones empresariales, un importante conjunto de empresas alcanzan resultados innovadores sin llevar a cabo actividades de I+D. El principal objetivo de este trabajo es entender cuáles son las fuentes de innovación de estas empresas. Para ello se analizará el rol adoptado por otras actividades distintas a los procesos de I+D (como el diseño, la formación, la vigilancia tecnológica y el uso de tecnología avanzada) y que también contribuyen a la consecución de innovaciones.
Although R&D has been highlighted as the main and indisputable source of firm-level innovations, an important group of firms develop innovations without performing R&D activities. The primary goal of this study is to understand the sources of innovation in such firms. To accomplish this goal, we explore the role played by other, non-R&D activities that can lead to innovation – activities such as design, training, technology forecasting and the use of advanced machinery.
