Processo de gestão da inovação em uma ICT: um estudo de caso na PROTEC/UFAM

Abstract

Technological innovation has strengthened as an important factor to ensure economic and social development of the country. However, there are other ways to create a new economic development model, focused on the social factor, that is sustainable and humane. The Brazilian Innovation Law, encourages the creation of innovation environment in Institutions of Science and Technology - ICT, though it is necessary to adapt this environment for law enforcement.

The organizational environment in ICTs as an important dimension in this process. The model of innovation management consists of organizational tools in order to support, promote and disseminate the generation of academic projects and help the decision maker in the process of generating innovations. Thus, the work agenda in the following general objective: Identify dimensions of innovation management models that are appropriate to share with ICT for social and technological innovations, highlighting also specific objectives: to analyze the actions of innovations developed in UFAM; describe the process of innovation management in UFAM and characterize dimensions that could be part of the management model of innovation in UFAM. This study discusses topics related to the central theme of innovation and its derivations, innovation management, innovation management models, but also discusses the dimensions of the models of innovation management. The approach used in this dissertation was a case study, an analysis of an inductive approach to the problem, focusing on applied research. About the objectives, the research was bibliographical and documentary, based on the research literature and documents. It concludes with an analysis and evaluation of the actions of innovation developed in UFAM to deploy mechanisms for public recognition of producing positive solutions for society. Therefore we identified the appropriate dimensions to ICT and from them, we built a model of innovation management needs of UFAM, considering the technological and social relevance.
