RODRIGUEZ DEVIS, Julio Mario. Technological innovation: rather than a successful project. Regarding the national prize for innovation. Ing. Investig. [online]. 2006, vol.26, n.2, pp.84-93. ISSN 0120-5609.

This article presents the results of the Colombian Ministry of Industry, Trade and Turism’s Premio Colombiano a la Innovación Tecnológica Empresarial para las MIPYMES-2005 (the Colombian prize for Company Technological Innovation for Small- and Medium-sized Companies, 2005). The model used is a Visión Hiper 666 application developed by the author, who was also the scientific and technical director for the aforementioned prize. The innovatory concept was proposed by the Universidad Nacional de Colombia’s “Complexus” research group. The method applied tried to balance quantitative evaluation (scores) with qualitative criteria showing the interrelationships constructed by a company within itself with those outside it and its projected aims for introducing innovation. This article also seeks to explain common (average-based) elements found in small- and medium-sized companies for promoting innovation, often precluding the rich variety of ways of promoting innovation constructed by each company.

Keywords : innovation; companies; complexity; organisations.
