CRUZ DIAZ, Joel; BLANDON LOPEZ, Alexander  and  CRUZ RINCON, Diego. RELEVANCE OF THE INSTRUMENTS OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT OFFERED BY ENTITIES THAT CONFORM THE REGIONAL COMMISSION OF COMPETITIVENESS AND INNOVATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF QUINDÍO. Tend. [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.1, pp.46-67. ISSN 0124-8693.  https://doi.org/10.22267/rtend.181901.87.

The approach of the relevance of the instruments of business development offered by the entities that form the Regional Commission for Competitiveness and Innovation of Quindío, is based on three theoretical currents of academic literature: local and regional development theories and policies, strategies competitiveness and value chain analysis and clusters. In the analysis of the information obtained it was possible to determine that participatory strategic planning exercises are being carried out with a view to strengthening the competitive capacities of the business structure, but the offer of support does not take into account the stage of the life cycle of the companies or the specificities of the business model where they compete. The interinstitutional disarticulation is also evidenced and the focus on encouraging interrelationships between companies to stimulate, strengthen and develop competitive capacities is timidly reflected in some sectors. Finally, it is necessary to create a territorial information system to study the productive chains and obtain statistical data to design policies for regional productive development.
