Resumen

Objeto del estudio: en este trabajo analizamos los efectos de la dinámica institucional en los esfuerzos de innovación de las pequeñas empresas en América Latina. Metodología/enfoque: utilizamos una muestra de encuesta de 11,446 pequeñas empresas latinoamericanas del Banco Mundial; La encuesta comprendió preguntas respondidas sobre sus esfuerzos de innovación en los últimos tres años: innovación de productos, innovación de procesos e inversiones en investigación y desarrollo; Para evaluar el efecto de la dinámica institucional (reformas y retrocesos), se capturaron datos del Índice de Libertad Económica. Principales resultados: concluimos que en las pequeñas empresas de los países latinoamericanos, los esfuerzos de innovación pueden estar más vinculados a la preparación para enfrentar un entorno institucionalmente ineficiente que a aprovechar los entornos que han tenido una mejora institucional. Aportes teóricos/metodológicos: estos movimientos de la pequeña empresa pueden estar más vinculados a la búsqueda de la supervivencia en un entorno incierto, contradiciendo los efectos esperados de que habría más esfuerzos de innovación cuando el entorno lo propiciara. Relevancia/originalidad: este estudio es valioso porque permite analizar qué tipos de dinámicas institucionales pueden conducir a qué tipos de respuestas en los esfuerzos de innovación de las pequeñas empresas. Aportes sociales/gerenciales: el estudio también contribuye al demostrar si la formulación de reformas institucionales puede impactar a las pequeñas empresas en el contexto latinoamericano, siendo así importante para el desarrollo de políticas públicas.
