This First Part of the document presents the conceptual basis, the fundamental design parameters and the proposal for a sector model for R & D & I management in the Colombian electricity sector, as one of the components of the Project CONTRIBUTING TO THE CONSOLIDATION OF CAPACITIES AND MANAGEMENT IN R + D + i OF THE COLOMBIAN ELECTRIC SECTOR [1].

Besides, as a condition for the implementation of the sector model, Part 2 presents a proposal for a sector R&D management model for the Corporation Center for Research and Technological Development of the Colombian Electricity Sector (CIDET). This entity performs functions criticism in the face of the consolidation of sectoral R&D.

[1] After this, CAPACITY BUILDING Project. By “electrical sector” is meant the Electrical Energy, Goods and Related Services Sector, as defined in the Productive Transformation Program.

Sectoral innovation systems demand special attention due to their complexity, since each sector of the economy behaves differently in the market, according to its specificities (Malerba, 2002). For this reason, in industrialized countries, management models based on a sectoral perspective have been implemented, providing for the development of policies, plans and programs that focus on increasing the competitiveness of strategic industrial sectors in a particular region, through a commitment determined in science, technology and innovation. To do this, they implement financial and non-financial instruments related to the formation of collaborative networks and productive integration programs that articulate the state, the industry and providers of knowledge and technology, in long-term bets, with specific monitoring and control mechanisms.

In the background review to proceed to the design of the sector model, a process of searching and analyzing information on relevant models in national and international publications was carried out [1]. As analysis criteria used to evaluate the models that would guide the design of the proposal, the following were identified:

Completeness: That the model considers all the key actors, relationships and processes.
Relevance: That the model responds to the history, needs, requirements and characteristics of the country and the sector.
Flexibility: That the model can be adapted to the limitations and potential of the country and the sector.
Viability: That the model can be successfully adopted with the available resources and time horizon.

However, the evaluation of the identified models revealed that no individual model gives a satisfactory answer to all the previous criteria. Two types of models are defined in the literature: those based on structure, which shows the actors in the system and their structural relationships; and those based on processes, which identify the activities of the system and their sequence.
