Abstract
En este trabajo se analizan las diferencias sobre los resultados comerciales esperados y efec- tivos de los proyectos de I+D+i de empresas perceptoras de ayudas públicas. Para ello se calculan indicadores cualitativos y cuantitativos de incumplimiento de expectativas y se relacionan con características individuales de empresas. Entre las causas del incumplimiento de las expectativas se encuentran la incertidumbre inherente al proyecto (pertenencia a sectores de alta tecnología y la alta intensidad innovadora de la empresa), el menor conocimiento de los mercados y rivales (tamaño) y el plazo que transcurre hasta la obtención de retornos (retraso no previsto en la explotación de las innovaciones derivadas del proyecto).
This article analyses the existing differences between expected and actual commercial returns to R&D in projects supported with public funding. For this purpose, qualitative and quantitative indicators on entrepreneur’s forecast error are calculated to be associated, later on, with individual features of beneficiaries. Reasons behind this forecast error are the uncertainty embodied in the R&D project (high-technology sectors; R&D intensive firms); the lack of knowledge about markets and competitors (firm size) and the required time until monetary returns are produced (unexpected delay in entry-to-market).
