Desde la apertura economica de los anos 90, la politica de fomento a los sectores productivos en Colombia habia estado fragmentada en multiples programas, descoordinados y sin relacion entre los diferentes actores. En este sentido, la implementacion del Programa de Transformacion Productiva (PTP) pretendia elevar la calidad de la articulacion publicoprivada en diferentes sectores de la economia colombiana para alcanzar niveles mas altos de competitividad. Sin embargo, la informacion sobre la aplicacion de las politicas y estrategias para los subsectores BPO y software/TIC es escasa, no se observa mejoras en los niveles de empleo, e incluso los aportes academicos en este tema son insuficientes. Asi, en esta investigacion se busca establecer, a traves de un estudio documental, un analisis bibliometrico y una entrevista con uno de los Gerentes del PTP, las razones por las cuales el impacto del PTP dentro de la politica industrial colombiana parece ser minimo. Se concluye, entonces, que la falta de sincronizacion del sector publico con el sector privado continua siendo el problema fundamental que limita el exito de las politicas industriales del pais. ABSTRACT Since the economic opening of the 90s, the promotion policy for the productive sectors in Colombia had been fragmented into multiple programs, uncoordinated and without relationship between the different actors. In this sense, the implementation of the Productive Transformation Program (PTP) aimed to raise the quality of the public-private articulation in different sectors of the Colombian economy to achieve higher levels of competitiveness. However, information on the application of policies and strategies for the BPO and software / ICT subsectors is rare, there is no improvement in employment levels, and even academic contributions on this topic are insufficient. Thus, this research seeks to establish, through a documentary study, a bibliometric analysis, and an interview with one of the PTP Managers, the reasons why the impact of the PTP within Colombian industrial policy seems to be minimal. It is concluded, then, that the lack of synchronization of the public sector with the private sector continues to be the fundamental problem that limits the success of the country's industrial policies.
