Neutrosophic Analytic Hierarchy Process for the Analysis of Innovation in Latin America

Abstract

This paper analyzes the factors that are influencing the stagnation of innovation indicators in the Latin American
region. To do this, an analysis is carried out to explore the existence of different groups of countries characterized by different
levels of technological capacity and innovation. The elements to be analyzed during the study are obtained through the
indicators evaluated in the Global Innovation Index, its 2020 edition, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The results show the
existence of three groups of countries characterized by a different capacity for technological innovation, both in terms of
technology policy and generation of technology and innovation, and technological preparation of society.
