N2 - The paper provides a descriptive analysis of the innovation characteristics of manufacturing Micro, Small
and Medium Enterprises (MSME), in respectively Argentina and Ecuador. The study is based on information
of the World Bank’s Enterprise Survey conducted in 2010. Parametric tests for comparison of both countries
were applied using the chi-square test for qualitative variables and t test for quantitative variables. The
processing and interpretation of the consulted databases reveals that the Argentinian and Ecuadorian
manufacturing MSME differ in product and process innovation, the level of investment in research and
product development. Innovation supporting activities such as spending in R&D on sales, patenting, public
sector support are similarities between the two countries
