Resumo

Este trabajo analiza las principales diferencias que presentan los grupos multinacionales que generan internacionalmente actividades tecnológicas frente a los que no las generan, midiendo esas actividades a través de patentes de la vía europea. Los resultados muestran que existen diferencias significativas entre los dos tipos de grupos; los que generan internacionalmente tecnologías poseen matrices con un mayor volumen de ventas y número de empleados y son grupos con un mayor número de empresas, están más diversificados geográficamente, son más antiguos y poseen un mayor volumen, diversificación y experiencia tecnológica. Por último, de entre todas las variables analizadas aquellas que diferencian mejor ambos grupos son las relacionadas con la diversificación tanto geográfica como tecnológica. Palabras clave: Grupos multinacionales / Generación internacional de tecnologías / Patentes de la vía europea.
