- Description
The paper proposes a structural design of the National Innovation Systems (NIS) of Ecuador after analyzing the achievements and limitations of the present system. It has been observed that the current NIS is not able to generate adequate thrust to enhance the technological competitiveness of the country to a certain threshold level to create more wealth and to further improve on the quality of life of the people. The paper looks into how various actors, like the network of institutions in the public and private sectors in the NIS, contributed towards this growth through their rules and procedures for the overall technological growth of the country. While the country is making significant progress in various areas, it has been observed that certain limitations like less interaction amongst the actors, as for example a very weak linkage with industry, have become impediments towards developing and adopting a robust NIS.
El objetivo de este art?culo es proponer una nueva estructura del Sistema Nacional de Innovaci?n (SNI) para Ecuador, despu?s de analizar los logros y limitaciones del actual SNI. Se ha observado que la actual SNI no es capaz de generar el empuje adecuado para mejorar la competitividad tecnol?gica del pa?s. En el documento se examinan c?mo la red de instituciones de los sectores p?blico y privado en el NSI han contribuido a este crecimiento a trav?s de sus pol?ticas y normas para el crecimiento tecnol?gico global del pa?s. Mientras que el pa?s est? haciendo progresos significativos en diversas ?reas, se ha observado ciertas limitaciones del SNI, como una menor interacci?n entre los actores, por ejemplo un v?nculo muy d?bil con la industria.
