Background• Starting point: Set of 32 indicators

• Agreement: Set of 12 core indicators to measure innovation performance on OAS member countries • Based on methodologies recommended by the

OECD and used in several innovation surveys• European Innovation Scoreboard• ESIDET (Mexico)

• Most countries would be able to estimate these indicators

Indicators (STI)1. Published scientific articles per million

inhabitants 2. Patent applications per million inhabitants 3. Proportion of companies with internal

innovation (products or processes)4. Proportion of companies that collaborate with

others in innovation activities5. Proportion of companies with technological

innovation6. Proportion of companies developing marketing /

organizational innovations

Indicators (STI)7. Proportion of sales of technologically new

products 8. Proportion of sales of technologically improved

products9. Proportion of Technology Balance of Payments

to GDP10.Gross Domestic Expenditure on Research and

Development (GERD) as a proportion of GDP11.ICT expenditure as a share of GDP12.Researchers per thousand of labour force

Indicator Published scientific articles per million inhabitants (AMH)

Indicator Proportion of companies with technological innovation (%CTI)

Purpose To support the design, monitoring and evaluation of public policies aimed at increasing the pool of innovative companies

Description It is the percentage of companies that introduced a product (good or service) to the market or used a new or significantly improved process, relative to all companies

Performance This indicator directly demonstrates the level of technological innovation of companies

Indicator Proportion of companies developing marketing or organizational innovations (%CMOI)

Purpose To evaluate the results obtained in terms of marketing and organisational innovation applicable to the market through the effort of companies in this area.

Description Percentage of companies undertaking non-technological innovation, i.e. marketing or organisational services, with respect to all companies.

Performance This indicator accounts for the proportion of companies that have developed organizational or marketing innovations (non-technological innovation), relative to total companies in a given period

Indicator Proportion of sales of technologically brand new products (&STNP)

Purpose To evaluate the impact of innovation activities that affect economic development through the percentage of revenue derived from technologically new product innovations

Description It refers to the proportion of sales in new products, relative to total sales

Performance The percentage of revenue from new products sales highlights the dynamics of this type of products for the company, reflecting on the remuneration derived from investing in innovation

Indicator Proportion of sales of technologically improved products (%STIP)

Purpose To assess the impact of innovation activities that affect economic development through the percentage of revenue from innovations arising from substantially modified products

Description: This indicator refers to the proportion of sales revenue for significantly improved products on the market to the total sales revenue.

Performance The percentage of sales revenue for significantly improved products shows the dynamics of this calibre of products on the market. This indicator reflects a type of remuneration arising from investing in innovation.

Indicator Proportion of Technology Balance of Payments to GDP (%TBP)

Purpose To evaluate the involvement of concepts included in international transactions on industrial property rights and those relating to the provision of technical services, relative to Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

Description Quantifies total transactions of the Technology Balance of Payments (BPT). It considers the sum of income and expenditures of the BPT, divided by the value of GDP

Performance This indicator, in comparison with other countries, reveals the importance of purchases and sales of intangibles related to technological knowledge for the country

Innovation not designed for profit or economic growth of countries, yet improves the quality of life for its citizens

Innovation that, even though is not “strategic or sustainable”, contributes to social welfare and equality by reducing the gap in knowledge, skills, opportunities and access to goods and services

Innovation that reduces poverty, is inclusive of the poor and the marginalized, and reduces social problems

Inclusive Innovation

Inclusive Innovation Development Index (IIDI)Components to consider for an index1. Proportion of Budget allocated to intermediary

institutions that bridge gaps to improve the lives of those at the base of the pyramid (Government, Academe, Enterprises, Non-Profit Organizations or Development Agencies)

2. Proportion of projects received and approved from active researchers that work with marginalized communities to build their capabilities

3. Proportion of Low Cost Technology patents4. Proportion of Patents that reduce costs, which are

not introduced to the market

IIDI

Once the following is determined

1. Cut-off point of the pyramid (poverty line)

2. Type of commodity of the innovation (food, housing, transportation, clothing,)

3. Its affordability to be acquired by the poor

4. Its qualification as inclusive innovation5. That it is acquirable in the market

RATIO: Inclusive innovation commodities with respect to total innovation commodities
