El capital social y la planificación adaptativa en una comunidad industrial innovadora del Perú

Abstract

El presente estudio vincula el capital social y la planificación adaptativa con la innovación y el desarrollo empresarial de una comunidad de productores vitivinícolas en el Perú. Dado lo anterior, se considera que tanto el capital social como la planificación adaptativa impactan en el aprendizaje productivo y el desarrollo de valores empresariales en ciertos escenarios donde predomina un extendido conocimiento tácito tradicional y colectivo –perdurable a través de siglos– y que se transforma en innovación. La metodología utilizada para la validación empírica fue el análisis factorial exploratorio, a través del cual se confirmó la propuesta teórica.

Mediation Effect of Adaptive Planning between Social Capital and Business Innovation: Application to a Community of Pisco Producers in Peru

“…An effective adaptive planning is based on three conditions or dimensions [3]. The first one is associativity, reflecting the sense of belonging that each person shares with the community, by identifying the benefits and synergies that working together have in terms of sharing available resources [52].…”

“…Anyway, it is worth highlighting that before the year 2000, the community was unable to increase its production levels beyond more than 600,000 L per year. Following the foundation of the CITE, higher levels of participation, association, and co-learning strengthened innovation [3], and the production of pisco was increased to 6.5 million liters per year and expanded the range of products as well as export levels. Also, throughout the existence of the CITE, the degree of influence on the producers of Ica increased: In the first five years, 2000-2005, approximately 25 to 30% of local producers were associated.…”

“…The definition of innovation provided by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD) [1] has become widely accepted, and states that innovation means an implementation of a new or significantly improved product (good or service), or process (many times including new technology adoption), a new marketing method, or a new organizational method in business practices, workplace organization, or external relations. This study is based on the line of thought that considers that innovation can arise in contexts where basic forms of collective cohabitation prevail, based on trust, friendship, and collaboration [2], and focuses on the success story of an innovative industrial community in Peru linked to viticulture [3]. This community, in a fledgling state of production and with notable needs, was able to emerge and scale its innovation around the pisco-local type of brandy-industry, based on certain historical know-how resources and organization together with planning and prospective activities generated and promoted by the Viticulture Technological Innovation Centre (former CITEvid, now CITE agroindustrial).…”

“…However, a collective learning process is needed, and even more in production communities in developing countries. Adaptive planning [3] emerges here as the other concept that can contribute to fostering innovation, by providing a flexible way to support decision-making along the collective learning process.…”

Influencia del capital social y la planificación adaptativa sobre la innovación en una comunidad agroindustrial en el Perú. Caso CITEvid

“…Lo expuesto se ve ejemplificado en el caso de éxito de CITEagroindustrial, antes llamado CITEvid, en Ica. Ante ello, los CITEs constituyen un camino para el desarrollo de capacidades a través de programas y actividades que constituyen la planificación adaptativa -comprendida en el coaprendizaje, la planificación participativa y la asociatividad- (Avalo-Ortega et al, 2016).…”
