LORDUY HERRERA, Orlando Mauricio  and  RANGEL BOLANOS, Jaime Eliécer. ANALYSIS OF THE INNOVATION INDICATORS OF A SAMPLE OF MANUFACTURER COMPANIES OF MONTERÍA (COLOMBIA). Semest. Econ. [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.52, pp.49-73. ISSN 0120-6346.  https://doi.org/10.22395/seec.v22n52a3.

This work pursuit a characterization of the innovative processes generated by the manufacturing companies of the city of Montería in the department of Córdoba, Colombia, taking as theoretical reference the neo-evolutionary theory, which understands the motivation for innovation as a Schumpeterian process of creative destruction. For reaching this goal, a poll-type tool is used following the guidelines established by the Oslo and Bogotá manuals, as well as the innovation polls (EDIT) implemented by the Dane in Colombia. We found that manufacturing companies in this city are innovative in a wide way, they wield defensive strategies and undergo technological activities that result in innovation to the company as to the local market.
