Science, technology, innovation models, impactAbstract
This paper presents the concept of innovation and the description of various innovation models put forward by different authors. Three models were selected —black box, chain relations and the recommendations from the 3rd edition of the OECD’s Oslo Manual— in order to develop a numerical model for simulating the impact on society of investments in science and technology. Taking into account Mexico’s S&T context, the developed model was applied to the region called Queretaro Regional Innovation System (SIRQ). For this system, input-output factors are defined, with numerical values assigned to them based on local conditions. The model is applied by simulating six scenarios for possible development of SIRQ, considering the influence of scientific research and higher education on the region’s development.
