| description | This paper aims to make a theoretical reflection on the academic debate that exists regarding whether internal and external innovation have a complementary or substitutable relationship, therefore, companies must analyze whether they should maintain a closed innovation approach due to the effect of substitutability or an open approach due to the effect of complementarity. For this, different empirical studies that contribute to these academic positions are analyzed, as well as the theoretical foundation that supports said positions. As a final reflection, it is found that in a context of globalization, companies cannot isolate themselves from the environment and from its increasingly rapid technological development. Additionally, the relationship of complementarity or substitutability between internal and external innovation will depend on the type of organization, as well as its resources and capacities to integrate external knowledge with its internal organizational processes. |

An organizational dilemma ¿Innovación interna o externa? un dilema organizacional Luna Amador, Jorge Armando Escobar Espinoza , Álvaro Andrés Caraballo Payares, Alexander Mauricio Innovation firms private sector development Innovación empresas desarrollo empresarial This paper aims to make a theoretical reflection on the academic debate that exists regarding whether internal and external innovation have a complementary or substitutable relationship, therefore, companies must analyze whether they should maintain a closed innovation approach due to the effect of substitutability or an open approach due to the effect of complementarity. For this, different empirical studies that contribute to these academic positions are analyzed, as well as the theoretical foundation that supports said positions. As a final reflection, it is found that in a context of globalization, companies cannot isolate themselves from the environment and from its increasingly rapid technological development. Additionally, the relationship of complementarity or substitutability between internal and external innovation will depend on the type of organization, as well as its resources and capacities to integrate external knowledge with its internal organizational processes. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analziar el debate académico que existe respecto a los procesos de innovación interna y externa, y sus implicaciones de complementariedad o de sustituibilidad. En este sentido, las empresas deben analizar si deben mantener un enfoque de innovación cerrado por el efecto de sustituibilidad o un enfoque abierto por el efecto de complementariedad. Para esto, se analizan diferentes estudios empíricos que aportan a cada una estas posturas académicas, así como la fundamentación teórica que respalda dichas posturas. Como reflexión final, se encuentra que en un contexto de globalización las empresas no pueden aislarse del entorno y de su cada vez más rápido desarrollo tecnológico. Adicionalmente, la relación de complementariedad o sustituibilidad entre la innovación interna y externa va a depender del tipo de organización, así como de sus recursos y capacidades para integrar el conocimiento externo con sus procesos internos organizacionales.
