dc.descriptionEsta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la eco-innovación como una estrategia sostenible para las empresas agroindustriales del Valle del Cauca. A través de un enfoque cualitativo, específicamente un estudio de caso basado en el anÔlisis de fuentes documentales y en el estudio del caso del Valle del Cauca, la investigación se estructura en tres objetivos específicos: clarificar los conceptos y términos de eco-innovación y su definición en Colombia; establecer un marco conceptual sólido sobre el impacto de la eco-innovación en las empresas agroindustriales; y describir los cambios provocados por la innovación ecológica en las empresas agroindustriales y precisar su utilidad en el entorno del Valle del Cauca. El marco teórico se fundamenta en la integración de la Teoría de la Sostenibilidad, que enfatiza la responsabilidad ambiental, social y económica en las prÔcticas empresariales, la Teoría de la Innovación, que explora los procesos de generación y adopción de nuevas ideas y tecnologías en el mercado. AdemÔs, se incorpora la Teoría de la Eco-Innovación, que aborda cómo las innovaciones pueden reducir significativamente el impacto ambiental y mejorar la sostenibilidad empresarial. Los resultados obtenidos revelan que la adopción de eco-innovaciones en las empresas agroindustriales del Valle del Cauca no solo contribuye a la sostenibilidad ambiental, sino que también mejora la eficiencia operativa y la competitividad en el mercado. Se observan cambios significativos en los procesos productivos, la gestión de residuos y el uso de recursos, destacando la relevancia de las tecnologías limpias y las prÔcticas agrícolas sostenibles. Las conclusiones enfatizan la necesidad de promover políticas públicas y programas de apoyo que faciliten la adopción de eco-innovaciones en el sector agroindustrial. AdemÔs, se proponen nuevas hipótesis para futuras investigaciones, centradas en la evaluación del impacto económico y social de estas innovaciones a largo plazo, así como en la exploración de modelos de negocio que integren la sostenibilidad de manera mÔs efectiva.
dc.description.abstractThis research aims to analyze eco-innovation as a sustainable strategy for agro-industrial companies in the Valle del Cauca. Through a qualitative approach, specifically a case study based on the analysis of documentary sources and the study of the Valle del Cauca case, the research is structured into three specific objectives: to clarify the concepts and terms of eco-innovation and their definition in Colombia; to establish a solid conceptual framework on the impact of eco-innovation on agro-industrial companies; and to describe the changes brought about by ecological innovation in agro-industrial companies and to specify its usefulness in the context of Valle del Cauca. The theoretical framework is based on the integration of the Theory of Sustainability, which emphasizes environmental, social, and economic responsibility in business practices; the Theory of Innovation, which explores the processes of generating and adopting new ideas and technologies in the market; and the Theory of Eco-Innovation, which addresses how innovations can significantly reduce environmental impact and improve business sustainability. The results obtained reveal that the adoption of ecoinnovations in agro-industrial companies in the Valle del Cauca not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also enhances operational efficiency and market competitiveness. Significant changes are observed in production processes, waste management, and resource use, highlighting the relevance of clean technologies and sustainable agricultural practices. The conclusions emphasize the need to promote public policies and support programs that facilitate the adoption of eco-innovations in the agro-industrial sector. Additionally, new hypotheses are proposed for future research, focusing on the long-term economic and social impact of these innovations, as well as exploring business models that more effectively integrate sustainabilityThis research aims to analyze eco-innovation as a sustainable strategy for agro-industrial companies in the Valle del Cauca.
