Using the Social Construction of Technology (SCOT) perspective, three main elements namely, flexibility of interpretation, relevant social groups and technological frame are described and their impact on innovation is discussed. The paper proposes that in developing societies,  flexibility is hardly pressed by technological frames and concrete social norms do not allow the alternative designs and the useage of artifacts. This paper proposes that innovation might  flourish in a society if technological frame change, and entrepreneurship become technological frames that can change the fixed meaning of artifacts and create a path for alternative designs and interpretations.Este artículo académico de tipo teórico describe el efecto que tiene la acción social sobre los artefactos tecnológicos y explora cómo la innovación puede florecer o reducirse en la sociedad. Utilizando la perspectiva del modelo de Construcción Social de la Tecnología (SCOT, por sus siglas en inglés), se describen y se discute el impacto que tienen en la innovación tres importantes elementos, a saber: flexibilidad de la interpretación, grupos sociales relevantes y marco tecnológico. Este artículo propone que en las sociedad en desarrollo, la flexibilidad es difícilmente motivada por los marcos tecnológicos y las normas sociales concretas no admite diseños alternativos ni el uso de artefactos. Este artículo propone que la innovación puede surgir en una sociedad donde se presente un cambio en el marco tecnológico y el emprendimiento se convierta en el marco tecnológico que puede modificar el significado fijo que tienen los artefactos y crear una ruta para diseños e interpretaciones alternativas.application/pdfengUniversidad EAFIThttp://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/administer/article/view/4611http://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/administer/article/view/4611Copyright (c) 2017 AD-ministerAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2instname:Universidad EAFITreponame:Repositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITAD-minister; No 30 (2017); 31-43Sociology of innovation: Social construction of technology perspectiveSociología de la innovación: construcción social de la perspectiva tecnológicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionarticlepublishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1InnovationSociology of TechnologySocial Construction of TechnologyInnovation policyEntrepreneurship PromotionIT ManagementSocial InnovationInnovaciónSociología de la tecnologíaConstrucción social de la tecnologíaPolítica de la innovaciónPromoción del emprendimientoYousefikhah, SaraAD-minister303143AD-ministerTHUMBNAILminiatura-administer.jpgminiatura-administer.jpgimage/jpeg8755https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/bfe6c349-a87a-4494-8dee-b1b650b7c0f1/download87c28d32b620f3408b1c70a3c505fbd8MD51ORIGINALSociology of innovation Social construction of technology perspective.pdfSociology of innovation Social construction of technology perspective.pdfTexto completo PDFapplication/pdf173008https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/60deef49-e0e4-4352-840c-ec4258668cea/download276aa980b32040023dd957a4f7fe81dcMD52articulo.htmlarticulo.htmlTexto completo HTMLtext/html374https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/fe0effc9-6bb4-4cc1-b93a-8e1b89539b12/downloadff60110f21522ddbc8d1995706899d95MD5310784/11396oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/113962019-12-05 01:19:21.05open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
