Abstract

This study analyzes the characteristics and the results of programs promoting technological consortiums in Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Uruguay. These programs are aimed to facilitate the interaction between businesses and institutions dedicated to the production of science and technology. The results of the study put highlight the difficulties and the long time period required to achieve concrete results in technological innovation. The work suggests an evaluation relatively low of participating firms in relation with the impact of these instruments on product and process innovations and the application of patents, although some other aspects, such as improvements in the access to technological knowledge and other areas like marketing and human resources, receive a superior evaluation. This may be due to the fact that several consortiums have little time in operation and they would need more time to be better evaluated.// Este artículo analiza un conjunto de consorcios tecnológicos apoyados con recursos públicos en Argentina, Chile, Colombia y Uruguay. Estos programas buscan facilitar la interacción entre empresas e instituciones dedicadas a la producción de ciencia y tecnología. Los resultados, basados en datos recabados para un subconjunto de los grupos apoyados, ponen en relieve las dificultades y los largos tiempos que se requieren para lograr resultados concretos, en particular, en innovación tecnológica. El trabajo cuantitativo muestra una evaluación relativamente baja de las empresas respecto al efecto de estos instrumentos en la generación de innovaciones de productos y procesos y la obtención de patentes, aunque existen aspectos relativamente mejor evaluados, como el mejoramiento del acceso a conocimiento tecnológico, en ámbitos como el mercadeo y los recursos humanos. Esto puede deberse a que varios de los consorcios llevan poco tiempo en funcionamiento y necesitan un plazo más largo para ser evaluados.
