Abstract

This article is result of a project associated with the "Proposed methodology for measuring innovation capabilities in a number of agribusiness companies. Initially, it was carried out in the agribusiness sector and in diverse models of technological innovation capabilities. Once the similarities of the analysed models were identified, expert consultation and focus groups were approached with the objective of determining the capabilities and how they would be measured, having a result, a group of characteristic of the technological innovation capabilities and its indicators. Following, a framework containing the indicators was developed to measure the technological innovation capabilities. Finally, a pilot test was implemented in an agribusiness company of the sector, which in turn helped validate the tool designed.
