Abstract

Continuous innovation of new products, processes, and services creates competitiveness, profits, and employment, and encourages socioeconomic development. While this is well known to managers, regulators, and researchers in developed countries, such is not the case in most of Latin America, as reflected by investment levels, policies, and practices. Interest in innovation, the knowledge of how to manage it, and support for it are all generally low to nonexistent.
