Resumo

Las relaciones entre los diferentes tipos de innovación han sido analizadas desde dos grandes corrientes enfrentadas. Por un lado, la visión distintiva, que asume que los determinantes de cada tipo de innovación son diferentes y que por tanto cada tipo de innovación contribuye de modo diferente al desempeño de la empresa; por otro, la visión integrativa, que considera que los diferentes tipos de innovación son interdependientes y que su implementación simultánea genera un efecto sinérgico sobre el desempeño de la empresa. Utilizando datos de España procedentes del Panel de Innovación Tecnológica (PITEC) de los años 2008, 2009, 2010 y 2011 analizamos cuál de los dos enfoques resulta predominante. Para la realización de los test de hipótesis utilizamos el denominado enfoque de complementariedad, y para la interpretación de estos test el enfoque exploración-explotación. De las seis restricciones no triviales testadas encontramos que solamente una es complementaria. Por consiguiente, estos resultados confirman el predominio de la visión distintiva, corriente mayoritaria en el ámbito de la literatura sobre innovación.
