Innovation has been acknowledged as a main driver for competitiveness whether it is for a firm, industry, region or country. Solutions for improvements in products and processes have emerged from the multitude of innovation tools and its techno-scientific features. However, the path traced by firms to innovate is rarely clear and not always successful. In this regard, a variety of uncertainties have been shaped into the obstacles that hinder firm’s innovation activities and prevent them to innovate. To the best of our knowledge, there is no literature that directly addresses the obstacles for innovation in Brazil in a broader sense. Also, the articles focused on the strategies of innovation did not investigated its antecedents, characterizing a clear avenue for research. The objective of this study is to understand which innovation barriers affect the Brazilian industry and how they influence the adoption of innovation strategies. In this way, one of the main strategies that stand out in literature is industrial cooperation. Secondly, a discussion that stands out in literature regards the existence of two juxtaposed strategies, known as Market-orientation and Technology-acquisition. This work combined with an exploration of the current state of industrial innovation studies in Brazil through a systematic review. Also, we combined multiple methods to quantitatively analyze the relationship among variables of the Brazilian innovation survey (PINTEC). The main results of this dissertation are: (i) the systematization of the industrial innovation literature in Brazil and the proposition of a research agenda; (ii) the assessment of which innovation barriers trigger or which affect industrial cooperation for R&D; (iii) the exploration of the innovation barriers’ role on the choice of firms to adopt either Market-orientation or Technology-acquisition as innovation strategies. From an academic perspective, this study contributes to clarify future avenues of research on industrial innovation in Brazil and to provide insights about the role of innovation barriers in the Brazilian industry. From a practical point of view, this manuscript presents a map of findings so as industries can use in a strategic way. Also, we bring insights on how innovation strategies should be adopted in relation to innovation barriers.

To achieve that, the study sought to: identify the most critical factors to the innovation process of the firms in this sector; analyze the sector’s dynamics and the contribution of universities and incubators to the innovation process and; evaluate how these elements affect the management process on technological innovation inside and outside the boundaries of the organization. This exploratory study with qualitative approach was based on multiple case study methodology and the results were interpreted using content analysis technique, as well as the analysis of secondary data. The study indicated that among the many obstacles to innovation, access to financial assets is the most critical. Partnerships, pointed as an alternative to this and other problems by reducing investments and risks and by providing access to qualified workforce, equipments and sophisticated laboratories, have been hindered by a series of institutional and regulatory factors – starting by the lack of clear laws and rules regarding intellectual property. On top of this there is still an incipient collaborative culture among firms. The results of the study show that Brazilian biotechnology firms try to compensate theses obstacles by providing agility to its internal processes, creating flexible organizational structures and an organizational environment favorable to innovation, which is internalized as practice in a tacit way. The management of innovation happens in an informal and little systematic way. Finally, the results show that the process of innovation in Brazilian biotechnology firms takes advantage of a pro-active attitude of managing and learning with the adversities adopted by these firms. / O objetivo deste trabalho é contribuir para o entendimento do processo de inovação tecnológica nas empresas brasileiras de biotecnologia. Para isso, procurou-se: identificar os fatores mais críticos ao processo de inovação das empresas do setor; analisar a dinâmica do setor e a contribuição das universidades e incubadoras para o processo de inovação e; avaliar como esses elementos afetam o processo de gestão da inovação tecnológica dentro e fora da organização. Este estudo exploratório de natureza qualitativa baseou-se na metodologia de estudo de casos múltiplos e para interpretação dos resultados foi utilizada a técnica da análise de conteúdo, bem como com a análise de dados secundários. O estudo indicou que entre os muitos obstáculos à inovação, o acesso ao financiamento é o mais crítico. As parcerias, apontadas como uma alternativa para esse e outros problemas por proporcionar a redução do investimento e do risco e o acesso à mão-de-obra qualificada, equipamentos e laboratórios sofisticados, têm sido prejudicadas em função de uma série de fatores institucionais e regulatórios – a começar pela falta de leis e de regras claras relativas à propriedade intelectual. Somando-se a isso uma incipiente cultura colaborativa entre empresas. Os resultados do estudo indicam que as empresas de biotecnologia brasileiras buscam compensar essas barreiras conferindo agilidade aos seus processos internos, criando estruturas organizacionais flexíveis e um ambiente organizacional favorável à inovação, que é internalizada, como prática, de maneira tácita. O processo de gestão da inovação ocorre de maneira informal e pouco sistematizada. Por fim, os resultados mostram que o processo de inovação nas empresas brasileiras de biotecnologia beneficia-se de uma postura pró-ativa adotada por elas de gerenciar e aprender com as adversidades.

The history of national tin industry is analyzed from its initial stages, going through the development of the 1980-1990 decade, with all the consequences for the international market. The changes in the Brazilian Economy and Industry that took part during the 90 s are emphasized, showing how they led to the current scenario. Other than that, this work points out the importance of the Amazon occupation and exploration model in the process of the industry development, thus the government role in the sector. It also analyzes the insertion of national production in the international market and its consequences, such as the collapse of the so far existing cartel. / O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a evolução da indústria do estanho na economia brasileira, verificando as bases de sua formação e seu desenvolvimento, tendo como ponto de partida as características de oligopólio concentrado no âmbito internacional. Os estágios iniciais do setor nacional com sua trajetória foram analisados para que fosse possível observar o desenvolvimento apresentado na década de 1980, incluindo as conseqüências no mercado internacional. Dando continuidade, são observados os anos 1990, enfatizando as mudanças na economia brasileira e na indústria, a fim de verificar como este cenário conduziu para a atual conjuntura. Destaca-se ainda no trabalho, a importância do modelo de ocupação e exploração econômica da Amazônia no processo de desenvolvimento da indústria, reforçando o papel do governo para o setor. Apresenta-se uma análise das conseqüências da inserção da produção brasileira no mercado internacional e a sua colaboração para o colapso do cartel até então existente, as conseqüências da extinção do conluio e a trajetória do setor no Brasil.

The idea to be developed is to compare the conditions of ernergence and development of poultry industries in the South region with those which initiated the implantation of poultry projects in the Mato Grosso do Sul region. This research encompass two main questions: the first anlyses the transformations occurred in the regional structure in consequence of firms'strategic actions; the second is related to the possibilities of regional firms to foIlow the evolution and the growth of the Jeaders. The fundamental element of analysis is the technology. The purpose of the analysis is to explain the set of strategies used to deal with the competition processo The rnain hypothesis is that, during the process of its constitution, Brazilian poultry industry firms has used a dependent-imitative strategy and changed for another of defensive type strategy over the years and as long as they increase their ability to incorporate technical progresso Two other sub-hypotheses are also very significant. The fírst one is to verify that strategic changes intended to give more productive flexibility, giving rise to differentiated firms, settled in regions characteristicly disparate, resuJted from strong economic and social asymmetries. The second one tries to show that the conditions of emergence of leader firms existing Ui the South region repeated in the Centre-West, associated to abundant stocks of agricultural inputs and to powerful mechanisms of Governrnent incentives. In sum, the thesis discusses the more important inovative strategies for the constitution of technological and productive park of westem Santa Catarina, the possibilities of these strategies to be repeated in the Centre- West, the reasons of the expansion of leader firms, the possibilities of transfer of technology and adoption of strategies among the more dynamic enterprise groups and the emergents, the competitive elements which could constitute in ''windows of opportunity' that allow the growth of local firms and the impact of this transfer of technology on learning and profitability of integrated rural production segment. / Essa tese analisa dois temas muito relevantes: o processo estratégico enfrentado pelas firmas líderes do segmento produtor de aves durante os anos 80 e a possibilidade de firmas emergentes situadas em regiões que experimentaram intensos processos desenvolvimentistas alcançarem a fronteira tecnológica a partir de 'Janelas de oportunidades' específicas. A ideia desenvolvida foi a de comparar as condições de emergência e desenvolvimento das indústrias de aves da região Sul com aquelas que deram origem à implantação de projetos avícolas na porção sulmatogrossense.
