Purpose This study aims to understand the interaction between capabilities inherent in open innovation and dynamic capabilities (sensing, seizing and transforming) as a source of competitive advantage. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative method and grounded theory were used as guidelines for data collection and analysis. Findings The study identifies a set of capabilities in the practice of open innovation related to dynamic capabilities, which indicates the importance of developing dynamic capability in the strategic management of internal and external knowledge in the company. Research limitations/implications The number of interviewees approached herein do not allow generalizations, but the use of grounded theory through various strategies of data collection in the interviews allowed the triangulation of the data, increasing the credibility, validity and quality of the research. Originality/value This study presents capabilities identified in open innovation and their relationship with dynamic capabilities, identifying the importance of the dynamic capability in the strategic management of internal and external knowledge in the company as a source of competitive advantage.

Objective: The general aim of this study is to verify how Natura and 3M businesses included open innovation in their everyday practices.Methodology: The chosen method is qualitative research of exploratory nature. The strategy adopted for the collection and analysis of data is based on the Grounded Theory approach guided by Charmaz's (2009) study in three distinct stages. At each stage of collection and analysis, the data was openly encoded (at first), followed by a more focused and theoretical coding to obtain the theoretical coding categories.Originality: This study sought to enrich the knowledge on open innovation through research in 3M Brazil and Natura's companies, which allowed relating open innovation with organizational strategy and as a complement to the innovative process.Main results: The results show that open innovation is understood by companies like a strategy that permeates the ecosystem to the complement of resources, skills, technology, and valuable knowledge in their relationships in the innovation process.Theoretical Contributions: This research contributes empirically to broaden the understanding of open innovation as a company strategy. The results reveal open innovation as a strategy that permeates the ecosystem, in addition to complement resources, capacities, technologies, and knowledge that add value to the innovation process.

A produção madeireira mato-grossense possui inquestionável importância para o Brasil e o Mato Grosso; entretanto, ela ainda enfrenta problemas importantes que vêm impactando sua competitividade. O objetivo deste artigo é justamente o de identificar e avaliar os fatores de competitividade do primeiro processamento de transformação industrial da cadeia da madeira serrada em Mato Grosso como forma de propor políticas públicas e privadas voltadas ao incremento da competitividade deste sistema. A pesquisa retratada neste artigo utilizou os seguintes direcionadores de competitividade: tecnologia, insumos e infraestrutura, gestão das unidades de produção, ambiente institucional, estrutura de mercado e governança e sustentabilidade ambiental. A pesquisa revelou que os maiores problemas de competitividade da cadeia de produção agroindustrial estudada estavam ligados a questões ambientais e institucionais. Assim, grande parte das sugestões de ações de melhoria da competitividade situa-se no âmbito destes dois conjuntos de fatores.

Given the constant changes in the way people move in urban spaces, and based on the National Urban Mobility Policy (PNMU) established by Law 12.586 / 2012, the article will present Urban Mobility indicators used in the municipalities of the state of Mato Grosso, inserted in the Integrated Institutional Development Program - PDI and supported by TCE/MT. Through research methodologies, address the historical and recent aspects of Urban Mobility in the country. From this, present the changes in the indices identified in the period from 2015 to 2017, and verify if the planned goals were met, and if the indicators are supported by PNMU. The study proposes to measure the effectiveness of indicators associated with the theme of Urban Mobility in the municipalities. Moreover, the work proposes to encourage citizens, and especially public managers, to participate effectively in the delivery of efficient solutions for Sustainable Urban Mobility to society.
