Resumo: This article examines how public policies to foster innovation affect companies’ behavior. Based on the case study research method, the article identifies how firms operating in the Brazilian electric power and IT sectors of the Manaus industrial district have responded to public efforts to stimulate technological innovation in both sectors. In general, the results suggest that these policies have increased private interest for innovation. However, this interest is greater among state controlled and multinational corporations than among domestic private companies. This finding is particularly relevant because domestic companies operate in deregulated markets with increasing competitive pressures. The limited interest of domestic companies for innovation suggests that innovation policies should not be limited to supply side factors and cannot be dissociated from policies aimed at strengthening the institutional environment.

Através do método de pesquisa de estudos de caso, o trabalhoidentifica como as empresas, em dois setores industriais no Brasil, têm respondidoaos esforços governamentais para estimular sua capacitação tecnológica. São comparadasempresas do setor de energia elétrica do Brasil e do setor de informática do polo industrial de Manaus. De forma geral, os resultados indicam que as políticas deinovação têm contribuído para aumentar o interesse das empresas por inovação. Noentanto, esse interesse tem se mostrado maior por parte das empresas cujo controlede capital é estatal e/ou estrangeiro, do que pelas empresas de controle de capitalprivado nacional. Isso é particularmente relevante, pois as empresas de capital privadonacional atuam em mercados pouco regulamentados, em que o nível de competiçãoé crescente. O limitado interesse dessas empresas por inovação reforça a ideia deque políticas de inovação não podem englobar apenas ações voltadas para o ladoda oferta, nem podem ser dissociadas de políticas voltadas para o fortalecimentodo ambiente institucional.Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV EBAPE)2009-12-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/6904Brazilian Journal of Public Administration; Vol. 43 No. 6 (2009); 1459 a 1486Revista de Administração Pública; Vol. 43 Núm. 6 (2009); 1459 a 1486Revista de Administração Pública; v. 43 n. 6 (2009); 1459 a 14861982-31340034-7612reponame:Revista de Administração Públicainstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/6904/5476Barros, Henrique M.Claro, Danny P.Chaddad, Fabio R.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-17T20:50:41Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/6904Revistahttps://ebape.fgv.br/publicacoes/rapONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||rap@fgv.br1982-31340034-7612opendoar:2021-11-17T20:50:41Revista de Administração Pública - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false
