Estudio de vigilancia tecnológica en procesos productivos actuales del carbón activado para la toma de decisiones estratégicas en la empresa Innovactiva Ingeniería S.A.S

Abstract

The tools of the area of technological management, specifically technological surveillance, is one of the methodologies that aims to achieve a strategically coordinated organization for the processes of research, development and technological innovation (I + D + i), which can be applied to different productive sectors and it is argued in the fact that in the business sector technology is one of the most important factors to be competitive in a market that every day is more versatile, therefore, knowledge about progress scientific and technological, it is a fundamental condition for the identification of new gaps and future challenges that can be exploited and exploited in the best way; This is why in the Colombian industry, specifically in the sector responsible for the production of activated carbon as Innovativa Ingeniería SAS, being a technology-based company that leverages agroindustrial waste for the production of specialized activated carbon identified an existing need of satisfying the national demand with activated carbon that meets the specific needs of the industrial sector, but to achieve the proper use of these opportunities, innovation must be generated using the present tools, it is the case of study of this research, where through the application of Technological surveillance was characterized by the information of 500 scientific articles obtained from different databases recognized worldwide in a period of time from 1995 to 2018, in order to determine the trends that can generate new scientific knowledge os or technological carrying out a chronological and detailed study of the priority information taking into account important aspects such as: publication date of the articles, authors, universities and / or institutions, raw materials used, activation methods and activating agents and the various applications for which the investigations were carried out, where these aspects are intended to facilitate the collection of information for the company who performs the technological surveillance of new products or innovations with which to enter to compete in the market
