A nivel de empresa, el papel de la innovación sobresale por las aportaciones que realiza tanto a la productividad como a la competitividad económico a largo plazo y en la relación tan estrecha que guarda con el desarrollo económico y con el bienestar de la población. Se presentan estudios que muestran cómo es que la innovación les ha dado el carácter de sustentabilidad a las unidades productivas en cualquier nivel de agregación.  La importancia de la innovación resalta por los beneficios que trae consigo; sin embargo, estos no han sido generalizados a nivel mundial. Es por ello que en este artículo se discuten las brechas que existen entre empresas y entre naciones y las implicaciones que estas traen consigo, no solo en el interior de estos, sino también en el contexto global. En un tema que ocupa el interés tanto de países desarrollados como de países en desarrollo, se resalta el papel que han desempeñado los organismos internacionales para ofrecer una plataforma teórico y conceptual, así como una base de datos estadística que hoy en día permite profundizar en el estudio de la innovación.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract  Innovation is important for the economic and social dynamics and has been placed as a key factor both at company level and at the country level. At the company level, the role of innovation stands out because of the contributions it makes both to productivity and to the competitiveness with which they operate, while at the country level, the influence it has on long-term economic growth and relationship that is so close to economic development and the well-being of the population. Studies are presented that show how innovation has given the nature of sustainability to the productive units at any level of aggregation.  The importance of innovation stands out due to the benefits it brings, however, these have not been generalized worldwide, that is why the document discusses the gaps between compa- nies and between nations and the implications this brings with it. not only within them but in relation to the global context. In a topic that occupies the interest of both developed and developing countries, the role of international organizations in offering a theoretical and conceptual platform, as well as ma- king a statistical database available, is highlighted. It allows to deepen the study of innovation.]]></p></abstract>
