Esta publicação é resultado de um diálogo que o Ipea iniciou com economistas argentinos sobre as estratégias empresariais, permitindo visualizar características dos esforços inovadores nos dois países. A colaboração entre Brasil e Argentina aponta que há similaridade entre suas indústrias. No entanto, o número de grandes empresas brasileiras que inovam e diferenciam produtos é maior que o de empresas argentinas, mas em termos percentuais, 18% das firmas da Argentina investem em pesquisa e desenvolvimento (P&D), ante apenas 7% no Brasil.
