Resumo:The elaboration of this thesis involved several stages, and since it is a complex subject matter, it was imperative to maintain a multidisciplinary focus. In the first stage, the need to improve the innovation performance in Latin America and the Caribbean is identified. In the second, the appropriate methodology for this research is selected. Here, it was determined that a framework comprising the innovation system approach is the most suitable framework for this research. In the third stage, the relevant body of extant literature is reviewed and the research problem formulated. In the fourth stage, the data is collected and characterized. During the fifth stage, the gathered information is analyzed and the results presented. In the sixth stage, experiences in other regions are examined and best practices acquired. In the final stage, the key enablers, best practices and the elements are identified, transformed and adapted into several recommendations for Latin American and Caribbean policy makers.
