Resumo
The persistent technological gaps of developing countries in a context of transition to new techno-organizational paradigms highlight the need to deepen understanding about their processes of technological change. In this framework, the objective of this article is to analyze the path of construction of technological, productive and organizational capacities in Argentine agricultural machinery companies, in order to unravel their innovation processes and learning mechanisms. Likewise, links with territorial agents are studied, taking into account the role of intermediary institutions. From an empirical, evolutionary and systemic approach, this qualitative research was carried out to demonstrate the influence of some micro and meso factors, as well as irregularities, discontinuities and diversity in the levels and type of capabilities in the trajectories of industrial companies. In this way, the paper provides elements that contribute to the evolutionist studies on technological change and territorial development, as well as to the reflection in the design and implementation of public policy instruments.
