Resumen

La segmentación internacional de los procesos productivos y la conformación de sistemas globales de producción han generado nuevos desafíos para las pymes de los países en desarrollo. Los estudios sobre cadenas de valor globales han señalado las oportunidades y los obstáculos para mejorar las capacidades de aquéllas en las actividades (como ID y diseño) que conforman las competencias clave de las empresas transnacionales. Los estudios empíricos que analizan, a partir de encuestas de innovación, la asociación de la inserción internacional con los procesos de innovación de las firmas no consideran estos aportes. Con base en una muestra de pymes de Argentina, se intenta integrar ambos enfoques diferenciando los distintos patrones de innovación de las pymes y analizando cómo la inserción en las cadenas globales afecta el tipo de dichos patrones. Asociado a esto, se las posibilidades de upgrading de estas empresas.
