Resumo: | This study analyses the implementation stage of an open innovation initiative in the Portuguese rigid plastic manufacturing group, Logoplaste. It assesses whether the group has the needed structure to sustain the changes that come along with it, both in terms of organizational capabilities, project decisions and individual attitudes levels. It is a 360º degree judgment of the business unit Logoplaste Innovation Lab, in which the initiative will have its initial pilot testing, and in which success is dependent the expansion of the project to the whole group. Based on the literature on the open innovation implementation topic, a survey tool was constructed, based on a structural framework with the main areas of concern in the implementation processes, developed by Lichtenthaler (2011) – the organization as a whole, the processes management of the projects and the company’s employees, which contribute to the initiative. The survey was sent to Logoplaste Innovation Lab employees and their results served as a support for the conclusions achieved. The results of this work indicate that Logoplaste is not internally prepared to adopt an open innovation business model in their structure: there are some improvements to be achieved, namely in the individual attitudes level, which is often mentioned in the literature as either a very important contributor or preventer to this type of projects’ success. Based on this conclusion, a set of suggestions is put together being supported by the best market practices and the particular case of this company, so that the implementation of the open innovation model goes for the best. |

Pretende-se perceber se o grupo tem a estrutura necessária para sustentar as alterações que virão como consequência desta implementação, quer em termos organizacionais, de projeto e individuais. Este estudo é um juízo de 360º sobre a unidade de negócio Logoplaste Innovation Lab, na qual vai ser feito o teste piloto à iniciativa, e sobre o qual o sucesso e expansão ao resto do grupo é dependente. Tendo em consideração a literatura revista sobre o tópico da implementação de open innovation, foi desenvolvido um questionário online tendo por base a framework de Lichtenthaler (2011), que define as áreas de uma empresa sobre as quais deve incidir maior preocupação em termos de gestão da inovação – a organização como um todo, os processos de gestão dos projetos e os colaboradores da empresa, que contribuem para a iniciativa. O questionário foi enviado para todos os colaboradores da Logoplaste Innovation Lab e os respetivos resultados serviram de suporte às conclusões atingidas. Os resultados alcançados nesta dissertação indicam que a Logoplaste não está internamente preparada para abrir o seu modelo de negócio: existem melhorias a ser feitas, nomeadamente ao nível das atitudes individuais dos colaboradores, que são frequentemente mencionados na literatura como um fator de contribuição ou impedimento para o sucesso deste tipo de iniciativas. Com base nestas conclusões, uma série de sugestões é elaboradora, suportada nas melhores práticas de mercado e no caso particular desta empresa, para que a implementação deste modelo de inovação seja o mais bem-sucedido possível.Amaral, Paulo Cardoso doVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaFigueiredo, Constança Serpa dos Santos2012-12-03T15:05:08Z2012-09-1720122012-09-17T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/9480enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-09-12T01:35:59Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/9480Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:08:26.113437Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
