摘要：
The current economic environment has led to the need for companiesto act in the context of enterprise networks, given its influence on business competitiveness, particularly in SMEs, and their contribution to regional development. This has generated an interest among researchers to analyze these networks. This paper evaluates the impact of relationships between companies and institutions in business innovation in the department of Caldas (Colombia). The work is empirical and data is treated with econometric models (logit models). The results indicated that ties between firms to carry out R&D and technology transfer and knowledge have a positive influence on R&D and innovation within the company. (C) 2011 Universidad ICESI.
