Resumen
La investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar los obstáculos a la innovación en empresas atlanticenses de procesamiento de productos de molinería y concentrados, con base en las características de dichas empresas. Se identificaron las empresas de Atlántico en el directorio de la Encuesta Anual Manufacturera - EAM 2016, se ubicaron en el microdato anonimizado de la Encuesta de Desarrollo e Innovación Tecnológica en la Industria Manufacturera - EDIT VIII, y se obtuvieron 32 empresas (10 de ellas innovadoras en sentido amplio, para las cuales se señaló el grado de importancia otorgado a los obstáculos a la innovación, en una escala de Alta, Media o Nula). La mayoría de empresas introdujeron innovaciones de proceso. El porcentaje de personas ocupadas con nivel educativo superior es menor en empresas que dieron importancia a la falta de personal calificado que en aquellas que no le dieron importancia a dicho obstáculo. Se requiere que las empresas capaciten y/o financien formación y/o capacitación de su personal relacionada con Actividades Científicas, Tecnológicas y de Innovación - ACTI. En cuanto a obstáculos asociados a información, hace falta que las empresas le den importancia a un mayor número de fuentes externas de información y conocimiento. Con respecto a dificultades para acceder a financiamiento externo a la empresa, se requiere que las empresas puedan tener acceso a recursos distintos a propios y de banca privada nacional para invertir en ACTI. En cuanto a escasas posibilidades de cooperación con otras empresas o instituciones, hace falta que las empresas puedan cooperar con socios distintos a proveedores para realizar ACTI.
This research aims to analize obstacles to innovation in Atlantic processing of milling products and concentrates, based on characteristics of the firms. Firms from Atlántico were identified from Manufacturing Annual Survey – EAM, 2016, after which they were located in the anonymized microdata of Technical Development and Innovation in the Manufacturing Industry Survey – EDIT, being identified 32 firms (10 of them innovative in broad sense, for which the level of importance given to obstacles to innovation was signaled in a High, Middle or Null scale). Most firms introduced process innovations. The percentages of skilled workers is less in firms that gave importance to the lack of qualified employees than for those that gave no importance to that obstacle. With respect to information-related obstacles, firms are expected to give importance to a greater number of external sources of information and knowledge. With respect to difficulties to access external financing, it is required that firms can have access to other resources than own and national private banks. With respect to scarce possibilities of cooperation with other firms or institutions, it is required that firms can cooperate with other partners than providers.
