Abstract

The present thesis proposes a study about the results of investments of public sector in a cluster phytotherapeutics and phytocosmetics, as a target model for sustainable development in the State of Amazonas and, consequently, for the conservation of biodiversity, especially with regards to the resulting experiences (phytotherapeutics, pharmaceuticals and phytocosmetics), in the FAPEAM Program entitled PAPPE-Subsidy. The study it’s characterized in nature as a basic research, highlighting the management tool in question, involving stakeholders, such as bio-industries, from the appropriate target model for the commercial use of the forest and the sustainability of traditional communities in the Amazon. The thesis deals with the theoretical framework built up from bibliographical and documentary research and, in the empirical part, the preliminary analysis resulting from interviews with the protagonists, the culmination of the field research with representatives of companies, researchers, communities and leaders of the public power, highlighting their perceptions about the main impacts for sustainable regional development. It’s used for the systematization of information, the matrix of importance of economic efficiency and the SWOT matrix, to approach the diagnosis of the components of the study, which should answer and point out to what extent this target model of APLs is successful or not, this is based on the foundations of sustainable development and economic efficiency. One premise was to analyze interactively between the donor and recipient of the productive organization and the governance of the selected sectors, as a tool to support the bioeconomy in the State of Amazonas. As a result of the research, the APL model used as a strategy for meeting the economic leverage and socio-environmental responsibility of micro and small enterprises requires a greater and better institutional interaction. As for the cooperation between the clusters, in the sense of generating employment and income, the training of human resources from the technological point of view, among others, requires greater capacity in innovation management and the development of personal and professional competences, to reach new organizational structures and processes.
