“…The finding of a negative relationship between increasing related variety and productivity growth, contrary to what could be expected, seems to be related to the consideration of a rather crude measure of variety, disconnected from the technology/innovation content of exports. In fact, the theoretical arguments previously put forward, which acknowledge the existence of a positive relationship between the two variables, are based on the benefits accruing from the diffusion of knowledge spillovers, which are notoriously higher in the case of technology advanced industries (e.g., Heidenreich, 2009;Santamaría et al, 2009). In these circumstances, a more accurate test of the relationship between export variety and economic growth must take into account simultaneously the variety and technology dimensions, as expressed in Equations 9 and 10.…”

Although the analysis of the relationship between international trade and economic growth has an important tradition in the economic literature, the specific focus on a related matter, the link between export variety and economic growth, remains a relatively unexplored field of research. Recently, a few studies have approached this issue, adopting a neo-Schumpeterian framework. In line with this general frame of analysis, in this paper we investigate the impact of export variety on economic growth, cross-relating the variety dimension with technological upgrading.Cointegration econometric results based on the Portuguese experience over the past four decades show that increased related variety has led to a significant growth bonus, but only in the case of technology advanced sectors. The impact of export variety on economic performance seems, therefore, to be conditioned by the technological intensity of the products involved.

“…Distintos estudios han mostrado que las in-dustrias menos intensivas en I+D son importantes tanto en sí mismas, por su contribución al crecimiento económico, como por su interacción con los sectores de mayor intensidad tecnológica, al implantar las nuevas tecnologías que emanan de estos proveedores tecnológicos y realizar demandas sofisticadas a dichos sectores (Robertson, Smith y von Tunzelmann, 2009;Sandven, Smith y Kaloudis, 2005). Otras características del modo de innovación low-tech, señaladas por los estudios recientes, serían la mayor importancia relativa de las innovaciones de procesos, que inciden en paráme-tros como la calidad, el tiempo de respuesta y la productividad, así como una menor colaboración externa en innovación (Kirner, Som y Jäger, 2015, Heidenreich, 2009Arundel, Bordoy y Kanerva, 2008). También se ha mostrado, con evidencia cualitativa, la especial incidencia en la innovación del personal de producción, incluyendo no sólo ingenieros, sino también técnicos, trabajadores intermedios y operarios (Hirsch-Kreinsen, 2008.…”

RESUMENEl papel de los centros de Formación Profesional (FP) en el desarrollo económico y la innovación no ha recibido una atención suficiente en los estudios recientes sobre los sistemas regionales de innovación. En este artículo, basado en una encuesta a 219 pymes industriales, se analiza la situación de Navarra, una comunidad autónoma española que presenta importantes niveles de desarrollo de la educación profesional y de relación de la misma con las empresas. Se analiza el papel del personal de FP en la empresa y, específicamente, su participación en los procesos de innovación. Posteriormente, se pretende averiguar si las relaciones que las empresas establecen con los centros de FP pueden incidir en las actividades de innovación. En este sentido, se muestra que la realización de actividades de formación continua ejerce un efecto multiplicador sobre la probabilidad de participación de los trabajadores en la innovación. Palabras clave: Formación profesional, pymes, innovación, región, participación de los trabajadores/as. ABSTRACT Recent research from the innovation system perspective has dedicated scant attention to the role of VET institutes and workers in innovation processes

Low-technology firms, such as those found within the furniture manufacturing industry, have no framework or methodology to guide them successfully to acquire and integrate technology that enables them to operate more competitively. The aim of this article is to illustrate the development of a technology strategy framework for small-to medium-sized furniture manufacturers to assist them to improve their competitiveness. More specifically, this article presents an integrated technology strategy framework that enables management to integrate their business strategy with their technology requirements successfully, thus improving competitiveness. OPSOMMINGLae-tegnologie ondernemings, soos dié in die meubelvervaardingingsbedryf, het geen raamwerk of metodologie om hulle te lei in die suskesvolle aanwending van tegnologie met die oog daarop om hulle meer mededingend te maak nie. Die doel van hierdie artikel is om te illustreer hoe 'n tegnologiestrategieraamwerk ontwikkel is om klein-tot mediumgrootte meubelvervaardigers te help om meer mededingend te wees. Hierdie artikel bied dus 'n geïntegreerde tegnologiestrategieraamwerk aan wat bestuur sal help om hulle ondernemingstrategie met hul tegnologievereistes te integreer en sodoende meer mededingend te wees.
