Elements for Managing Technological Innovation: A Theoretical Approach

Abstract

In the business sector, most often people are not aware of the need to apply the technology, either because of ignorance, lack of organization or financial resources to do it. Having this in mind, and from a documentary bibliographical perspective, it is taken as a starting point, the consideration of several authors such as Urban and Toledano (2008), Martinez (2006), Costa (2006), Hamilton and Pezo (2005), Flores (2005), Alegre (2004), Rodriguez and Cordero (2002), Valhondo (2003) among others, who define and typify the different elements that determine technological progress in enterprises. It is concluded that technological innovation is fundamentally achieved through changes in the functioning and interaction of both natural and artificial elements.
