Resumen

Este artículo persigue varios objetivos: por un lado, aportar una primera tipología de empresas latinoamericanas exportadoras de servicios intensivos en conocimiento, y por otro, contribuir al estudio de los determinantes de la competitividad internacional en estos sectores, con evidencia de América Latina, indagando además si la influencia de estos factores difiere entre los distintos tipos de empresas. Sobre la base de evidencia exploratoria de un conjunto de empresas latinoamericanas exportadoras de servicios intensivos en conocimiento se recurre al análisis clúster para identificar diferentes patrones empresariales. El reconocimiento de realidades empresariales heterogéneas y la identificación de impactos diferenciales de los determinantes de la competitividad pueden colaborar para un mejor diseno de ˜ medidas de política ajustadas a cada contexto.
