Abstract

This study investigates the transformation of Ecuador's productive structure, technological integration, and its impact on GDP over the last decade, using the novel Plithogenic IADOV method. This approach, based on neu-trosophic logic, allows for the analysis of complex economic scenarios characterized by indeterminacy and con-tradiction, aspects often overlooked by traditional methods. Through questionnaires administered to 40 experts, the research evaluates five key dimensions: economic diversification, technological integration, GDP growth, public policy formulation, and economic resilience. Findings reveal progress in diversification and technological integration, albeit limited, with a persistent strong reliance on primary sectors and technological gaps, especial-ly for SMEs. While there is political intent to foster transformation, its application and effectiveness are ques-tioned, with an unequal distribution of GDP growth benefits observed. The study concludes by proposing feasi-ble improvements such as fostering emerging sectors, SME digitalization, and the creation of macroeconomic stabilization funds.
