Title: Capacidades de Innovación Empresarial en América Latina. Revisión de la Literatura
Abstract: Innovation involves both an activity and its outcome (OCDE & Eurostat, 2018) and it is related to innovation capabilities, considered as a special asset for the development and commercialisation of new technologies, the introduction of new products, and the adoption of new processes, especially in contexts of rapid technological change. Innovation capabilities, in turn, are decisive not only in terms of innovation outcomes,  but  also  of  competitiveness.  This  article  aims  to  determine  the  innovation  capabilities  variables  that  are  studied  in  Latin  America, compared to the innovation capabilities variables that are analysed in the 2019 Global Competitiveness Report by the World Economic Forum or “WEF” (Schwab, 2019). The research is developed through a systematic review using the PRISMA methodology. Results  are  obtained  for  the  countries  that  study  innovation  capabilities,  the  variables  that  are  analysed  in  the  studies  on  innovation  capabilities in Latin America, in comparison with the variables analysed by the WEF. The results show a partial articulation between the variables analysed in the studies on innovation capabilities in Latin America and the variables that make up the WEF.
