Understanding the phenomenon of innovative performance of Sectoral Innovation Systems (SSI) is considered as a complex problem that has not yet been satisfactorily resolved. For this reason, it is proposed to approach this research from the implementation of proven methodologies in similar contexts such as the National Innovation Systems and Regional Innovation Systems. It is contributing to the generation of knowledge and the development of tools and analysis under new approaches, providing extensive possibilities for future research.
This document aims to contribute to the explanation of phenomena related to SSI, by developing a descriptive model, identifying the strategic factors that have the most significant influence on its innovative performance. The construction of a knowledge production function (expressed in patents) is carried out, validated in the textile sector.
Many governments have developed financial policies and programs focused on boosting sectoral competitiveness as a strategic response to combat the economic and financial crisis, intending to restore the growth of industries in the long term and create a sustainable economic future. It is in this direction that the notion of the Sectoral Innovation System arises, as an interactive model of creation and use of specialized knowledge, in which different actors related to the production, development, commercialization and use of products associated with a given sector participate.
This concept was first mentioned in the literature in 1987 in Freeman’s work, Technology Policy and Economic Performance: Lessons from Japan employed explicitly at the national level. However, the author notes that it was Lundvall (1988) who first used the term [1], despite the latter also citing Freeman as a pioneer [2]. In conclusion, both authors defined this concept in a similar way, which was used in the national context.
An innovation system is considered as a concentration of agents (companies, intermediaries, education entities, government representatives) that relate to generating dynamics of growth and development, aimed at increasing the competitiveness of a country, a region or a sector. It is also an implementation process of a new product or process, or an organizational method to introduce new constituent elements into the company (Edquist and Hommen, 1999). Innovation systems allow analyzing the economic growth of a country from an underlying perspective to the growth of labour productivity in the different regions and sectors of an economy. Mainly if this context is analyzed, from an evolutionary knowledge theory approach (Metcalfe, 2004; Soete, Verspagen, and Weel, 2010).
