Resumen

En este estudio se presenta un modelo teórico que analiza la relación entre los Recursos Financieros, el Sistema Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología, y el Desempeño en la Innovación en las empresas manufactureras de Colombia. Para ello, se formularon cuatro hipótesis, las cuales fueron aprobadas, demostrando que existe una relación positiva entre estos factores. Los resultados indican que los Recursos Financieros influyen en el Desempeño Innovador de las empresas ya sea de manera directa o indirecta, a través del Sistema Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología. La investigación se basó en una muestra empírica y transversal de 1572 unidades, cuyos datos fueron analizados utilizando el paquete estadístico PLS-SMART. Los resultados confirman, que el modelo teórico propuesto es aceptable y significativo, lo que sugiere que los recursos financieros y el apoyo del sistema de ciencia y tecnología tienen un alto impacto en la capacidad de innovación de las empresas colombianas. Además, el modelo teórico propuesto derivado de un diseño integrado tres factores derivados de la búsqueda de literatura especializada, pretende ser de referencia para futuros estudios en diferentes sectores y regiones donde operen las empresas manufactureras.
