Abstract

Systems of innovation are highly dependent on local conditions, where national boundaries give the general platform to it, but local systems play a key role in the path to development. In the developing world this is even more important. Córdoba, Argentina, is the case of a developing region in a developing country. The study goes in the direction of gathering and interpreting data from the three mayor players of its innovation system: government, universities, and private companies, assessing the links among them and establishing conclusions about how they work as a system. Finally, it makes a proposal for the improvement of the local system of innovation to the different forces and the policymakers of the province. The study shares a common ground with similar regions around the world, and its lessons are applicable to them.
