Abstract

URIBE-GOMEZ, Julián-Alberto et al. Analysis of dynamics, structures and agent relationships in Regional Innovation Systems. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.153, pp.379-387. ISSN 0123-5923.  https://doi.org/10.18046/j.estger.2019.153.3231.

This paper analyzes the regional innovation system of the department of Antioquia in Colombia, from a complex systems perspective and using an agent-based simulation model. Among the results is a model with significant variables and indicators for generating new knowledge and innovation on a regional scale. This provides evidence that more favorable conditions exist, insofar as a significant number of explorers encourages greater reciprocal actions with other agents in the regional structure. The number of patents and publications being generated will increase significantly and better network clustering becomes evident as a result. Finally, the model explores the dynamics, structures and relationships among agents in the system, paying special attention to the conditions within which innovation processes unfold at a regional level.
