Abstract
Este estudio analiza el grado de impacto de la presencia de recurso humano calificado en los resultados de innovación de procesos, productos y en la productividad de las empresas bolivianas. Tomando como base el modelo de Crepon, Duguet, y Mairesse (CDM) desarrollado en 1998 y la primera encuesta de innovación realizada en Bolivia a empresas privadas, se logra establecer que existe una relación positiva entre la presencia de recurso humano calificado, los resultados de innovación y la productividad laboral de las empresas estudiadas. En relación con las características del recurso humano, los resultados muestran que la presencia de recurso humano calificado en una empresa tiene un impacto positivo sobre los resultados de la innovación y sobre la productividad laboral. Por otra parte, se establece que la presencia de recurso humano no calificado provoca un efecto inverso sobre la productividad laboral. En cuanto a las características de las empresas, se logra establecer que la presencia de capital extranjero y la realización de exportaciones afectan positivamente las inversiones en innovación. Finalmente, se resalta la importancia de conocer cuáles son los esfuerzos de innovación que hacen las empresas y los impactos de estos en la productividad a fin de mejorar la toma de decisiones sobre inversiones del sector público y privado.
This study analyzes the degree of impact of the presence of qualified human resources on the results of innovation of processes, products and on the productivity of Bolivian companies. Leaning on the model of Crepon, Duguet, and Mairesse (CDM) developed in 1998 and the first innovation survey carried out in Bolivia to private companies, it is possible to establish that there is a positive relationship between the presence of qualified human resources, the results of innovation and labor productivity of the companies studied. In relation to the characteristics of human resources, the results reveal that the presence of qualified human resources in a company has a positive impact on the results of innovation and on labor productivity. Otherwise, it is established that the presence of unskilled human resources causes an inverse effect on labor productivity. Regarding to the characteristics of the companies, it is possible to establish that the presence of foreign capital and the exports positively affect investments in innovation. Finally, the value of knowing what innovation efforts is made by companies and their impact on productivity to improve decision-making on investments in the public and private sectors is highlighted.
