Abstract

El principal objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la relación existente entre derramas de conocimiento de empresas grandes (EG) y las capacidades de absorción de las pequeñas y medianas empresas (PyMES). Se analiza el sector de PyMES de maquinados industriales localizados en Querétaro, proveedores de EG, tanto nacionales como transnacionales pertenecientes a los sectores automotriz y de electrodomésticos. A partir del empleo de una metodología que combina encuestas y estudios de caso, fue posible construir indicadores directos para las derramas de conocimiento y las capacidades de absorción. Posteriormente se realizó un análisis estructural sobre la relación existente entre estos dos conceptos. Se ha identificado que dentro del sector y localidad analizados uno de los principales mecanismos de derramas de conocimiento está relacionado con os vínculos de proveeduría. En cuanto a las capacidades de absorción se ha identificado que los factores que más influyen están relacionados con las capacidades organizacionales y con las actividades de innovación y aprendizaje de las PyMES. El hallazgo más importante es la identificación de una relación positiva entre las derramas de conocimiento de las empresas grandes y las capacidades de absorción de las PyMES.
