Introduction to the concept of National Innovation Systems
For years, a country’s level of competitiveness was determined by the relative abundance, or scarcity of the resources it had. However, in the last decades, a country’s level of development and its ability to compete in the global arena has been, and is currently determined by their ability to innovate and to generate outcomes that promote its economic growth. The purpose of this paper is precisely to analyze this ability within a country. Innovation is not a straight line process; this is why our main focus will be addressing the concept of National Innovation Systems. This concept establishes a framework for the interaction and relationships among people, companies and institutions necessary to generate the adequate flow of knowledge for the previously mentioned purposes
