Resumen
El objetivo de este trabajo es la propuesta de medida del constructo «Factores claves del éxito de la I+D» basándonos en la Teoría de Recursos y Capacidades (TRC). Según esta teoría, el éxito de la I+D puede definirse como el incremento de ventajas competitivas para las empresas a través de la generación de valor de sus actividades de I+D. Partiendo de esta definición, desarrollaremos el constructo y sus dimensiones, determinado las variables predictoras de generación de valor y de rentas para la empresas basándonos en los recursos y capacidades de la I+D. La metodología empleada en el trabajo se ha basado en el análisis de la validez de contenido de constructo, dentro del marco de análisis de la validación de escalas o constructos. El resultado ha sido el diseño de un instrumento que permitirá a las empresas predecir la generación de ventajas competitivas en el futuro en el marco de sus políticas de I+D.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to propose the measurement of the construct «Key factors of the R & D sucess», basing us in the Resources and Capabalities Theory. This theory explains the value generation between business considering the generation of the advantages competitives. The construct proposed in this work is based in the differents predictors variables of this theory. The methodology used is soported in the completed scale validation methodology. The result has been the development of a tool for predincting the competitives advantages generation in the future R & D policy planning.
