This paper contributes to the debate on innovation in the agro-food
industry by presenting the results of a study of the impact of knowledge flows
on firm’s innovation in the Chilean meat sector. Most literature agrees that
innovation is the result of complex systemic interactions among many different
players including other firms, universities and government institutions. In order
to test this hypothesis, we apply social network analysis (SNA) and logistic
regression to assess whether there is a significant relationship between firms’
position in the network and their innovation performance. The empirical test of
this hypothesis is based on secondary data and on primary data collected
through firm-level questionnaires and interviews to the population of
slaughtering and processing plants in six Chilean regions.
