Resumen
La presente investigación analiza las diferencias entre empresas con presencia de capital extranjero de acuerdo con su tamaño, en términos de las actividades de innovación, vinculación externa y los modos de innovación. A partir de un abordaje econométrico sobre datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Empleo e Innovación, demostramos que las empresas con presencia de capital extranjero presentan un comportamiento diferenciado una vez que se estratifican por tamaño. Las empresas extranjeras vis-à-vis las nacionales tienden a realizar mayores esfuerzos de innovación y se caracterizan por implementar modos de innovación más complejos, que combinan los modos DUI y STI. Sin embargo, del análisis por estrato de tamaño surge que las empresas extranjeras de mayor tamaño relativo realizan relativamente menos esfuerzos de innovación promedio e implementan modalidades menos complejas. Estos resultados revalorizan los análisis que consideran la heterogeneidad de empresas extranjeras y demuestran que las de mayor tamaño relativo no son las de mejor performance innovadora, al contrario de lo que ocurre con las empresas de capital nacional.
