Innovation infrastructures assessment through knowledge management models

Resumen

The design and implementation of innovative infrastructures to support business activities have been carried out in our country over the last years. There have been significant investments, which have often been unsuccessful and very expensive, since they have been based on opportunistic criteria far away from objective and professional criteria. However, there have also been successful cases that have endured over time. This paper proposes a model to help managers and authorities to make future decisions concerning the design and implementation of such infrastructures. This model should be based on a future-oriented focus and on knowledge and experience of the different stakeholders from different fields of knowledge who have an important participation in the design and development process. This model should allow assessing, a priori or at any stage thereof, the probabilities of success of such initiatives in a quantitative way.
