El objetivo de esta investigación es entender cómo funcionan los Sistemas de Control Administrativos (SCA) en un contexto de innovación. Utilizando el método de estudio de caso, se analiza la evolución de un SCA basado en las características del Stage-Gate Process (Cooper, 1990), que fue implementado en una pequeña empresa especializada en el desarrollo de aplicaciones móviles con operaciones en Guadalajara, México. El estudio concluye que, debido al tamaño de la empresa, el SCA evolucionó para utilizar controles informales que favorecieran la innovación en el desarrollo de los productos. Palabras clave: Sistema de control administrativo, stage-gate process, innovación.
