Colombian entrepreneurs’ straggling, reactionary and inertial orientation has been inconsistently justified by the availability of internal and leveraged resources, a concept intensifying deficient technological capacity. Company activity (seen as being a socioeconomic unit) has been integrally orientated within an evolutionary framework by company identity and cohesion as well as adaptation and evolutionary mechanisms. The present document uses a group dynamics’ model to illustrate how knowledge-based strategic orientation and integration for innovation have become an imperative for development, from slight leverage, distinguishing between two evolutionary company forms: traditional economic (inertial, as they introduce sporadic incremental improvements) and modern companies (dynamic and radical innovators). Revealing conclusions obtained from such model may be used for intervening in and modernising company activity.
La actividad de las firmas, como unidad socioeconómica, en el marco evolucionista está orientada integralmente por procesos de identidad, cohesión y mecanismos de adaptación y evolución; en este orden, el presente documento ilustra, a través de un modelo por dinámica de sistemas, como la orientación e integración estratégica basada en el conocimiento para la innovación se constituye como un imperativo de desarrollo que, a partir de un pequeño apalancamiento, permite distinguir entre dos trayectorias de evolución, a saber: firmas económicas tradicionales (inerciales, pues introducen mejoras incrementales esporádicas) y modernas (dinámicas y radicalmente innovadoras), hecho a partir del cual se obtienen reveladoras conclusiones y desafíos para intervenir y adecuar el comportamiento de las empresas.
