Abstract

The present research studies the role of firms’ interactions within the Regional Innovation System (RIS) in relation to their innovation efforts for the olive sector in La Rioja, Argentina. Empirical analysis is based on information gained from a survey conducted by the National University of Chilecito in 2012. Quasi-Poisson and Binomial Logistic regressions are built in order to deal with statistical data. The main findings show an association between interactions established by firms and their innovative activities, as well as the relevance of relationships with certain science and technology organizations. However, heterogeneity amongst firms and RIS weaknesses would limit smaller firms’ performance./ La presente investigación aborda el rol de las interacciones de las firmas en el Sistema Regional de Innovación (SRI) sobre sus esfuerzos innovativos para el sector olivícola de La Rioja, Argentina. El análisis empírico se efectúa en base a una encuesta conducida por la Universidad Nacional de Chilecito en 2012, para cuyo procesamiento se construyen regresiones Quasi-Poisson y Logit Binomial. Los resultados muestran que existe una asociación entre las interacciones que llevan a cabo las firmas y sus actividades innovativas, así como la relevancia de las relaciones con organismos de ciencia y tecnología específicos. Sin embargo, la heterogeneidad entre las firmas y las debilidades del SRI limitan el desempeño de las empresas de menor tamaño.
