Innovation, Services sector, internationalizationAbstract
The services sector has been constituted as the most important of the national economy with a 51.1% of GDP share in 2014, however, in that same year, represented less than 0.2% in the country's exports. In this sense, the objective of this article is to identify the relationship between innovation and internationalization in the services sector in Colombia in order to understand their low participation in exports. Thus, a reference framework on the services sector is presented and a quantitative descriptive analysis of the EDITS information is carried out. From this analysis, it is concluded that the number of companies with innovation activities has decreased, that the few results of these activities are not oriented to the international markets and that they are financed almost entirely by the companies in the face of the low level of public support.
Resumen
El sector servicios se ha constituido como el más importante de la economía nacional con una participación del 51.1% del PIB en el 2014, sin embargo, en ese mismo año, representó menos del 0.2% en las exportaciones del país. En ese sentido, el objetivo de este artículo es identificar la relación entre innovación e internacionalización en el sector servicios en Colombia con el fin de comprender su baja participación en las exportaciones. Así, se presenta un marco de referencia sobre el sector servicios y se realiza un análisis cuantitativo descriptivo de la información de la EDITS. De este análisis se concluye que el número de empresas con actividades de innovación ha decrecido, que los pocos resultados de estas actividades no se orientan a los mercados internacionales y que son financiadas casi en su totalidad por las empresas ante el bajo nivel de apoyo público.
Resumo
O setor de serviços tornou-se o mais importante da economia nacional com uma quota de 51,1% do PIB em 2014, no entanto, nesse ano, representava menos de 0,2% nas exportações. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste artigo é identificar a relação entre inovação e internacionalização do setor de serviços na Colômbia a fim de compreender a sua baixa participação nas exportações. Assim, um quadro para o setor de serviços é apresentado e uma análise quantitativa descritiva das informações edições é realizada. Esta análise concluiu que o número de empresas com atividades de inovação diminuiu, os poucos resultados destas atividades não são destinados a mercados internacionais e são financiados quase inteiramente pelas empresas com o baixo nível de apoio público.
