Prioritization of Key Economic Sectors for the Promotion of New Territorial Articulation Initiatives. Case Province of Tungurahua

Abstract This article identifies and prioritizes the economic sectors of the province of Tungurahua with the greatest potential to increase regional productivity and competitiveness. This prioritization contributes, on the one hand, to decision-making to obtain an optimal allocation of public and private investments, and on the other hand, to the creation of new forms of production in the territory to support innovation and the consolidation of competitive advantages. All this, from the perspective of an integral, territorial and sustainable development. The prioritization of these key sectors is achieved using three techniques: the Rasmussen Method, the analysis of perception surveys applied to stakeholders and productive sectors of the province of Tungurahua and the Shift-Share Method.
