Medición del nivel de innovación en las organizaciones usando Modelos de Respuesta al Ítem (IRT) en el contexto de la realidad ecuatoriana.

Abstract

The objective of this research work is to construct a valid measurement of organizational innovation potential in relation to the responses of subjects to a test conducted based on a CRI (Capabilities, Results and Impacts) measurement model of innovation. The proposed solution is based on an Item Response Theory approach that uses a Gradual Response Model whose parameters are estimated by Bayesian inference through the Monte Carlo method with Markov chains called Monte Carlo Hamiltonian. This provides the organizations in the data set with an estimate of their innovation potential and their competence in the CRI categories. The research presented is very flexible since the analysis procedure remains valid if more data is added or the tests are modified.
