Science,Technology and Innovation Management: Contributions to a Methodological Framework

Abstract

The article discusses the specificities of science and technology development and innovation processes in organizational arena and their implications for planning and management. It proposes that ST&I processes must be planned and managed as evolutionary processes defined by targeted attitudes to search routines and an understanding of the selective instances in which organizations are embedded, taking into consideration the distinct institutional elements that mediate such relations. To deal with this framework, the article proposes a methodological framework comprising a set of building blocks to help managers deal with the challenge of innovation. The building blocks are: (1) indeterminacy; (2) the profile of the professionals involved and the organizational culture; (3) the collective logic associated with the complexity of nonlinear, dynamic and adaptive systems; and (4) the logic of the scope economies associated with knowledge production. The methodology is applied in a case study of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, Embrapa.

Avaliação do risco regulatório em pesquisa & desenvolvimento no setor elétrico brasileiro

“…Fundamentando-se nessas definições, depreende-se que a relação entre regulação e inovação nas empresas apresenta três vetores (Almeida & Ohayon, 2009;Berr, 2008;Bin & Salles-Filho, 2012;Walz et al, 2008) Com isso, a regulação das atividades de inovação pode ser contraproducente, na medida em que traz um ônus adicional para as organizações (a obrigação de inovar e o cerceamento da liberdade criativa), impactando principalmente em suas rotinas operacionais. Nesse sentido, incorporam-se às rotinas tanto os riscos inerentes à inovação quanto o risco regulatório.…”

A Tuned Value Chain Model for University Based Public Research Organisation: Case Lut Cst

“…Bin and Salles-Filhoa (2012) studied the contributions to a methodological framework in science, technology and innovation management and an interesting case study from Brazilian university where the focus was orientation towards sustainable innovation is reported by Löbler et al (2012).…”

“…Innov. 2012, Volume 7, Issue 4 Finland has been executed like the transition of public research and technology organizations (Loikkanen et al, 2011) and the evaluation practices in public research organizations (Lähteenmäki et al, 2006).Because the interest of this study is closely linked to chemical engineering (and any other capital intensive industry where the actions are similar) the studies of Kannegiesser (2008) are essential.Bin and Salles-Filhoa (2012) studied the contributions to a methodological framework in science, technology and innovation management and an interesting case study from Brazilian university where the focus was orientation towards sustainable innovation is reported by Löbler et al (2012). …”

Innovation Management and Marketing in Global Enterprises

“…Organizations initiate methodologies and tools to facilitate innovation management. Bin and Salles-Filhoa (2012) propose that technology development and innovation processes must be planned and managed. Sánchez et al (2011) have developed a model to audit and classify innovation practices.…”
