Caracterización de las Prácticas de Innovación Abierta en las Pymes Manufactureras en Bogotá

Abstract

Today, the main objective of business organizations is to increase competitiveness. Open innovation is presented as a facilitating process in the development and growth of companies. Bearing this in mind, the objective of the article is to recognize the existing willingness of companies to interact with other actors in the environment such as the university and thus generate collaborative processes. For this, an analysis of qualitative variables was carried out through questionnaires made to some SMEs (small and medium-sized companies) in the manufacturing sector of Bogotá and to teachers and researchers from the District University. Based on the results of the study, a theoretical proposal is formulated that presents an integration model, which characterizes the key factors for the development of open innovation processes among the analyzed actors. Concluding that the implementation of this paradigm implies the establishment of relationships of trust, disposition of the actors, structuring of an innovation management model and definition of copyright together with clear and specific cooperation agreements.
