Resumen
Today’s in the global economy, innovation is seen as a key element in the competitiveness of firms. The economic literature has shown that productivity is strongly influenced by the innovation capability of companies and organizations in a region or nation. But innovation is unpredictable, both in terms of processes and outcomes which makes it very difficult to define and select active incentive policies. That’s why, trying to understand how companies innovate in a concrete reality not only will help improve the understanding of the phenomenon, but also will help to generate knowledge to design appropriate and more efficient policies and incentives. In this paper we study the relationships that companies establish with the different agents of the National Innovation System (NIS) and how they affect their innovation activities. The rationale for this approach is based on the idea that learning and innovation are open and interactive processes that appear to be confined to certain situations. In this sense, innovation policies have recognized that the relationships established with universities, technological and / or research centers are fundamental to the promotion of industrial innovation.
