Abstract

Scientific development and innovation are factors that provide competitiveness to countries and regions. This study defines the region of Baja California as a peripheral region based on the characterization and analysis of their innovation capabilities as variables. We consider patent applications, foreign direct investment, university and research centers, the companies involved in research and development activities, gross domestic product and employment. To assess the importance of the variables, a correlational study is performed using data from the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI), the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), and the Secretariat of Economy (SE). The empirical results indicate the state is a region where innovation is more than a process of learning and adaptation of new technologies in production processes.
