Resumo: | Drawing on a single case study based on first-hand and long-term evidence gathered through extensive fieldwork, this article examines the process of technological capability accumulation and its implications for operational performance improvement in a chemical firm in Brazil (1980-2007). The evidence indicates that the efforts on technological capability accumulation, especially for innovative activities, permitted the case-study firm to improve its operational performance, notably in terms of technical and, to some extent, in terms of commercial indicators. This study contributes to advancing our understanding of relationship between the firm-level accumulation of technological capabilities and operational performance improvement. The study draws managers’ attention to the importance of managing and measuring a multiplicity of technological capabilities within firms and to the relevance of firm-level engineering-based innovative activities, normally neglected by policy makers. |

As evidências indicam que os esforços para acumulação de capacidades tecnológicas inovadoras permitiram à empresa aprimorar sua performance operacional em termos de indicadores técnicos e, ainda que indiretamente, em termos de indicadores comerciais. Este estudo contribui para avançar no entendimento sobre o relacionamento entre a acumulação de capacidades tecnológicas e o aprimoramento de performance operacional em nível de empresa. O estudo ainda chama a atenção de gestores para a importância da gestão e medição de uma multiplicidade de capacidades tecnológicas na empresa, bem como alerta para a importância das atividades inovadoras em nível de empresa, à base de engenharia, que são normalmente negligenciadas nas políticas públicas.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2014-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa qualitativaapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/article/view/864908110.20396/rbi.v13i2.8649081Revista Brasileira de Inovação; Vol. 13 No. 2 (2014): jul./dez.; 311-344Revista Brasileira de Inovação; Vol. 13 Núm. 2 (2014): jul./dez.; 311-344Revista Brasileira de Inovação; v. 13 n. 2 (2014): jul./dez.; 311-3442178-2822reponame:Revista Brasileira de Inovação (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPporhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/article/view/8649081/15630Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Brasileira de Inovaçãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFonseca, MarcelioFigueiredo, Paulo N.2017-06-07T12:24:59Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8649081Revistahttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbiPUBhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/oai||rbi@ige.unicamp.br2178-28221677-2504opendoar:2017-06-07T12:24:59Revista Brasileira de Inovação (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false |
