The objective of this article is to identify the organizational factors that facilitate or inhibit the technological innovation in the development cycle of a product engineered to order for Brazilian wind energy market. The following factors stand out as facilitators: the rigid hierarchical structure combined with some aspects of the projected structure, the level of cooperation between departments, and the autonomy given to workers. The main barriers are the lack of clarity about the organization’s strategy, the low frequency and depth of training offered by the company, and the lack of a mechanism that allows access and registration of information.
Resumo:A inovação é considerada importante quando se trata da competitividade das organizações em geral. Assim, a compreensão dos fatores que facilitam e também dos que dificultam a sua prática torna-se relevante. Nesse contexto, esse artigo tem por objetivo identificar fatores organizacionais internos que podem facilitar ou inibir a inovação de produto no desenvolvimento de produtos ETO (engenharia sob encomenda ou engineer to order). Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa que utiliza o estudo de caso único em uma empresa multinacional como método de procedimento. Entre os principais resultados é possível citar, como fatores internos à organização que favorecem a inovação, a liberdade e a autonomia na condução de projetos, a disponibilidade de recursos financeiros, o aprendizado contínuo e o compartilhamento de experiências e a existência de indivíduos chave. Por outro lado, como inibidores, destacam-se: a falta de tempo por alta carga de trabalho, a política de treinamentos ineficiente e a falta de integração interfuncional. Palavras-chave:Fatores Organizacionais. Desenvolvimento de produtos. Engenharia sob encomenda. Inovação. Abstract:Innovation is considered important when it comes to the competitiveness of organizations in general. Thus, the understanding of the factors that facilitate and also those that hinder their practice becomes relevant. In this context, this article aims to identify internal organizational factors that may facilitate or inhibit product innovation in the development of ETO (engineer to order) products. This qualitative research uses the single case study in a multinational company as a procedure method. Among the main results, internal organizational factors that favor innovation are cited: freedom and autonomy in the conduct of projects, availability of financial resources, continuous learning and the sharing of experiences and the existence of key individuals. On the other hand, as inhibitors, the following stand out: lack of time due to high workload, inefficient training policy and lack of crossfunctional integration.
