A great deal has been written about social inequality in less developed countries and about the lack of ability of the State to guarantee civic rights to all the individuals to whom it owes this commitment. It is claimed that it was the rapid development of microinformation technology that guaranteed the intensification of globalization and led to the increase in social inequality among countries and within nations, in a knock-on process of conflict. Parallel to this movement, new forms of human organizations have arisen in Brazil setting out to collaborate with the State in the mobilization of socio-economic sectors. The purpose is to redress the civic rights of excluded individuals, mainly by means of civil associations that comprise the Tertiary Sector, and of company incubators usually originating in universities and research institutions. In this discussion, the inclusion concept becomes broader in scope, as it is no longer sufficient to guarantee education, health and income. What is needed is motivation towards reflection, initiative and autonomy, in what many have called human entrepreneurship. The idea was to make a clean break with the Fordist paradigm (Tenorio: 2000) of the beginning of the twentieth century, mainly with respect to work relationships, and to conceive of new forms of organizations to cater to genuinely Brazilian characteristics of development. These new models were based on American models of social and economical entrepreneurship, but with due critical appropriation achieved in the sociological reduction by Guerreiro Ramos' (1965). There have been many thwarted attempts, however, a lot of these organizations follow a successful path, which at least leads to the creation of new job openings, which is the first step on the road to social development. This work presents an analysis of the innovations in work relationships allegedly to be found in company incubators.
