“…An interesting example is the system adopted by the USDA-ARS, which has physical bases (laboratories) at universities, working in an integrated manner on specific research topics [24]. In addition, the programmatic figure of portfolios is very welcome because it replaces the current strategy of decentralized units with national missions for the coordination of large product chains, as well as making it possible to act on transversal themes in various regions of the country [27].…”

“…Embrapa infrastructure of research, development and innovation (RD&I) ramifies into the inner Brazilian regions as departments or decentralized research units whose designations have been associated to national products of large importance (Product), edaphic-climatic conditions or biome (Ecoregional) or other exceptional knowledge (Thematic) [24][25][26]. In addition to administrative and assistance work, the main occupations are Analysts engaged in lab, field or administrative support, and Researchers committed to a shared RD&I agenda.…”

Agriculture plays a key role in the economy and quality of life. How to best employ available resources in order to improve productivity, profitability and sustainability of these processes has been the subject of many studies. This study aims to analyse by multi-index methodology the expected return and risks associated with investment in agribusiness, particularly on what concerns the implantation viability of a vegetable-washing machine. It thus listed the production and maintenance costs of carrot and cucumber cultures, as well as cleaning costs and the profitability and inherent risks of the implementation. Having in mind that this research requires empirical and analytical evidences as well as a case study, a company located in South-eastern Brazil was chosen by means of an applied research. Data from a Minimum Acceptable Rate of Return (MARR) of 6% per year was collected by documental research and semi-structured interviews systematized in a cash flow projected within the respective deadlines. Results indicate an Additional Return Over the Investment (AROI, 16.06%) higher than the MARR for carrots and 14.94% higher for cucumbers. These results show that when a competitive strategy of vegetable cleaning through a machine is employed, with expectation for return in 24 months, the impacts are positive, signalling high profitability and compatible risks with the expected return, reinforcing the soundness of such an investment in agribusiness.

“…Freitas Filho, Paez and Goedert (2002) reported that there is increasing evidence that the planning of public agricultural research and development (R&D) organizations must be based on systematic procedures to capture uncertainties and complexities associated with the future of their mission area and incorporate them into the decision-making process both at strategic and operational levels. As a first step, key issues that emerge are: ''what be the science and technology (S&T) needs for the agribusiness sector in the future?''…”

“…In addition to the agribusiness sector, the questions raised by Freitas Filho, Paez and Goedert (2002) are recurring to R&D organizations that develop research to the most diverse industrial sectors. Thus, this work aims to contribute to the literature presenting a systematic method to answer the same questions for an R&D organization that develop research for manufacturing sector: ''what be the science and technology (S&T) needs for the manufacturing sector in the future?''…”

Abstract:The manufacturing industry is fairly representative in the Brazilian economy. The research activities in technology, development and innovation promoted by technology centers are of great importance to boost the competitiveness of this segment. In this context, this work aims presenting the development of the strategic planning for a Center of R&D&I (Research & Development & Innovation), looking 20 years ahead, on a macro level, creating a master plan which summarizes the future focus areas of competence for technology research, development and innovation, coping with manufacturing trends, using a participative workshop approach. Thus, it is expected that this center offer integrated technological solutions with high added value that promote the development and competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, in the prospects for medium and long term. In order to achieve the project objectives taking the principle of strategic planning was followed. On the one hand, focus was placed on the internal perspective analyzing the current status of the Center. On the other hand, the environment of the Center (external perspective) was analyzed. Matching the analysis results regarding both perspectives future competence areas were derived, according to global technological trends as well as national and local industrial demand. Thus, the competencies required to be developed by a technology center to meet the manufacturing industry over the next twenty years would be derived.
