Abstract
El presente trabajo lleva a cabo un análisis sobre la existencia y
características de clusters de innovación tecnológica en 57 economías del
mundo, estudiando al mismo tiempo si la pertenencia a un grupo o cluster,
explica las diferencias de competitividad entre dichas economías.
Para ello, se ha realizado un estudio empírico que se apoya en los
indicadores de innovación tecnológica publicados en el Global Competitiveness
Report (CGR) 2009-2010 (WEF, 2009) y en el Índice de Competitividad que
elabora el International Institute for Management Developmet (IMD, 2010).
Los resultados muestran la existencia de cinco grupos de países caracterizados
por diferentes niveles de innovación tecnológica y de competitividad.
En segundo lugar, se realiza un análisis de regresión para examinar la relación
entre las variables de innovación tecnológica y la variable de competitividad,
los resultados revelan que dicha relación es positiva.

For that purpose, we have conducted an empirical study based on technological innovation indicators included in the Global Competitiveness Report (GCR) 2009-2010 (WEF, 2009) and in the Competitiveness Index published by the International Institute for Management Development (IMD, 2010). The results indicate the existence of five groups of countries characterized by different levels of technology innovation and competitiveness. We have also conducted a regression analysis in order to evaluate the relationship between variables of technological innovation and competitiveness. The results show a positive relationship.
