摘要：AbstractThe objective of this paper is to show that the great inducer of R&D in the world is the large company and this fact is an important issue for Latin American countries because this continent has a small number of really large companies. Despite representing approximately 8.5% of the world population, Latin America as a whole, corresponds to 1.2% of the total invested globally in Research and Technology. In other words in 2011 the world invested 1.4 trillion dollars and Latin America as a whole only 17 billion dollars. In other important countries these figures are invested mostly by large companiessuch as the USA that has 27% of the 500 largest companies in the world and is responsible for 33% of the world expenditure in R&D and has more than 50% of the total patents registered in USPTO- United State patent Trade Office.
