Com o surgimento da nova doença Covid-19 no Brasil no início de 2020, muitas empresas tiveram que que reduzir suas atividades ou até mesmo paralisá-las totalmente, outra parte dessas empresas tiveram uma demanda adicional se comparado com o cotidiano histórico de operação. O objetivo deste artigo é compreender e analisar as principais dificuldades, no âmbito de TI de três empresas de grande porte para adequar sua infraestrutura de TIC ao novo cenário sob as lentes teóricas da Teoria das Capacidades Dinâmicas e Teoria da Estruturação Adaptativa. A metodologia deste projeto de pesquisa propõe o estudo de casos múltiplos com perspectiva longitudinal e os frameworks Modelo de Pesquisa de Capacidades Dinâmicas e o Modelo de Apropriação de Tecnologia com abordagem de natureza exploratória, por meio de estudo de caso. Como resultados, os dois modelos comprovam que as empresas A, B e C tiveram condições de suportar as novas demandas, adaptando as suas infraestruturas de TICs para o novo cenário causado pela pandemia do Covid-19, forçando os colaboradores a adotarem a nova forma de trabalho.

The production of insects as a sustainable protein source represents an innovation for animal feed. The objective of this research is to analyze the value chain of the use of edible insects in animal feed in Brazil through the framework of SWOT, the business model sustainable canvas, and a multiple case study, highlighting the sustainability characteristics. A qualitative approach of the descriptive exploratory type was used, and the multiple case study identified the actors in the chain and how value is generated. The young age of the sector explains the characteristics observed in the Brazilian chain, such as a large development deficit in terms of financing, technology and the qualification of human resources; a disorganized supply chain and supplier structure; and efforts undertaken by regulatory agencies to promote the development of regulations relating to the production and use of insects in animal feed, which, in turn, will lead those wishing to participate in this innovative venture into research and development in the area. Brazil’s edible insect supply chain can become a more significant aspect of sustainable agriculture by closing nutrient and energy loops, promoting food security and minimizing climate change and biodiversity losses, all of which are associated with the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

The objective of this study is to examine how digital platforms digitally innovate companies and organizations, using the business model for dynamic capacity in three Brazilian companies. To achieve the proposed objective, a case study research method was used, with theoretical models of digital platforms, digital innovation and dynamic capabilities. The empirical research results proved that the three companies have a digital platform for business transactions as their main component, and that this model connects customers and suppliers through services.
