On the technology side, chapters delve deep into the debate on R&D, Innovation and Entrepreneurship; Corporate Venturing and Digital Entrepreneurship; Intrapreneurship strategy and processes and more. Technology and Innovation in Latin America offers deep learning about key questions: What are the empirical and theoretical opportunities that emerge in innovation based on territorial capital?
