Innovation management has been received increasing attention in the operations management field during the last years. Academics and managers have long been discussing the innovation nature and its importance for the organization's growth and competitive advantage. However, one issue that remains unclear is how to recognize what type of innovation management is necessary for each company or situation. One of the reasons for this issue is the different dimensions to which innovation can be addressed -technological, organizational, process and product, among others. Moreover, the differences between incremental and disruptive innovation lead to different ways of management. This paper examines the literature on innovation management in the last 38 years (1975 -2013) aiming at identify and classify innovation management models. The methodological approach encompasses bibliometric and content analysis. The results show seven models' categories: project management, organizational strategy, knowledge management, product management, types of innovation, technological innovation, and open innovation. Abstract ABEPRO Knowledge Management Models -Code CCohen etLevinthal (1990): proposed the "model of absorptive capacity and R&D incentives", a model that recognizes the influence of investment in R&D in obtaining knowledge. The "absorptive capacity" is what leads to differentiation in the development of new projects in R&D. Dougherty (1992): developed the "cycles of market knowledge creation model", a model that suggests three

Uma das principais características das relações de interação em busca de cooperação consiste na busca de novas formas de gestão produtiva e administrativa, condicionadas pela pressão por inovação. O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma análise da literatura, entre os anos de 1991 e 2010, sobre os temas inovação e cooperação. Para isso, os autores utilizaram o método de estudo bibliométrico e análise qualitativa de alguns dos trabalhos e referências. Foi realizada uma busca na base de dados ISI Web of Knowledge (Web of Science) com os tópicos relacionados à inovação e cooperação. Com base na análise das palavras-chave que mais apareceram nos artigos da amostra e na nomenclatura utilizada pela base de dados para codificar as áreas, foram identificadas as oito áreas que mais se relacionaram com a temática de pesquisa, sendo elas capacidade de absorção (absorptive capacity), alianças estratégicas, conhecimento, desempenho, gestão, inovação tecnológica, pesquisa e desenvolvimento, desenvolvimento de novos produtos e redes. Verificou-se que as publicações concentraram-se em apenas 17 periódicos, sendo que os quatro que mais publicaram foram: International Journal of Production Research, International Journal of Technology Management, Management Science e Technovation. As publicações cresceram a partir de 2000, com um pico em 2008. A crescente necessidade de interação entre entidades e de inovação, por meio da combinação de recursos internos e externos, justificam a análise da evolução da literatura.

Resumo: A crescente demanda por inovação e a necessidade de reduzir o tempo e o custo do desenvolvimento de novos produtos têm mudado o cenário automotivo nacional, o qual foi por muito tempo caracterizado por um Abstract:The growing demand for innovation and the need for reducing time and cost of new products development have changed the Brazilian automobile scenario, which has been characterized by a closed innovation model for a long time. Flex fuel technology has been a challenge for the companies in this sector, and it is the motivating factor of this study, which aimed to understand the open innovation process within the fuzzy front end context, identifying the main motivations and implementation gaps. In order to reach this goal, a longitudinal case study has been carried out in a consortium composed by nine companies and two universities. The methodology has involved some qualitative and quantitative research. The main theoretical contribution from this research is precisely the pioneering concerning the automobile assembly companies working in a collaborative way. This research has also major managerial implications. It points out the peculiarities that shall be considered in a coopetition environment, as well as makes suggestions to the managers regarding the way of working the initial innovation phases. The research portrays well the role of the Universities in this context.
