Resumen

En la actualidad, las organizaciones deben estar preparadas para los cambios tecnológicos que les presenta su entorno y anticiparse a estos cambios para ajustar su estrategia tecnológica, esto se logra a través de la prospectiva tecnológica. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar como la prospectiva tecnológica puede ser una capacidad dinámica de una organización, específicamente de un centro de investigación. Para la presente investigación se tomó como caso de estudio el área de electroquímica del Centro de Investigación y Desarrollo Tecnológico en Electroquímica (CIDETEQ). Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a los actores principales encargados de la prospectiva tecnológica. Se identificaron cinco características en común entre las capacidades dinámicas y la prospectiva tecnológica, estas características son: son una capacidad construida y no comprada, integran recursos, reconfiguran recursos, ganan recursos y permiten a las organizaciones adaptarse y crear cambios en el entorno. Se concluye que la prospectiva tecnológica es una capacidad dinámica construida capaz de integrar, reconfigurar y ganar recursos que permite adaptarse al entorno de una organización.
