Exploratory Analysis of New Indicators to the Evaluation of Local Inovative Agent Program
Abstract
The objective of this article is to present indicators and discuss their possible relationships for the performance evaluation of the Local Innovation Agents Program’s (ALI) focus and actions. The empirical evidence used data from the edition of the 2015/2018 of the Program in Santa Catarina State. The pretension is to advance about what has traditionally been done to evaluate the performance of the ALI Program, from the construction and exploratory evaluation of new indicators. For this, a set of indicators and expected relationships between them were presented and explored, with possible complementation by the pearson correlation. The exploratory and longitudinal analysis revealed, among other results, that the performance of actions realized during the program improve with the passage of time, which refers to the value of persistence in the effort to obtain better results. In other words, persistent and long-term effort seems to produce better results than short-term engagement. Such result was only possible from the evaluation of a new proposed indicator.
