          Abstract

          Resumen En el ámbito de la innovación y el desarrollo tecnológico, las pequeñas y medianas empresas (Pymes) muchas veces no cuentan con los recursos necesarios para iniciar proyectos. El comportamiento innovador y tecnológico está condicionado por una serie de elementos, tales como la estructura, los recursos financieros, el entorno y el sector. Cada uno presenta condiciones de competencia que predeterminan sus posibles estrategias y conducta. Para una eficiente gestión de la tecnología es menester considerar las oportunidades y amenazas de su posición tecnológica, la capacidad de adquirir y desarrollar recursos, la habilidad para asimilar las tecnologías y el aprender de esta experiencia. Las Pymes establecen en la práctica diversos modelos. El presente trabajo pretende caracterizar las diferentes funciones llevadas a la práctica a partir de ciertos modelos establecidos en la literatura. A partir de una muestra representativa de 81 empresas y mediante un análisis de conglomerados, se lograron identificar 6 diferentes modelos empíricos definidos por diferencias y similitudes en el análisis del entorno, investigación de mercados y evaluación de tecnología, adquisición y adaptación de la tecnología y asimilación e implementación de tecnología, los cuales están mediados por el tamaño, el sector y la localización.

          Abstract In the field of innovation and technological development, regularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) do not have the required resources to start projects. The innovative and technological behavior is conditioned by several elements, such as structure, financial resources, the environment and the sector. Each one presents competitive conditions that predetermine their possible strategies and behavior. For an efficient management of technology, it is necessary to consider the opportunities and threats of its technological position, the capability to acquire and develop resources, the capability to assimilate technologies and learn from this experience. In practice, the SMEs establish different models. The present work aims to characterize the different functions carried out from certain models established in the literature. From a representative sample of 81 companies and through a cluster analysis, we were able to identify 6 different empirical models defined by differences and similarities in the analysis of the environment, market research and technology assessment, acquisition and adaptation of technology, assimilation and technology implementation, which are mediated by size, sector and location.
