Justifica-se este estudo devido o conhecimento ser a ess?ncia do processo de inova??o, mas apesar das startups apresentarem como base a inova??o, elas enfrentam barreiras relacionadas ao processo de gest?o do conhecimento, e tal fator pode contribuir para as elevadas taxas de mortalidades diagnosticadas no pa?s. Desta forma, busca-se por resultados que possibilitem auxiliar a tomada de decis?o destas empresas e suas respectivas partes interessadas. A fundamenta??o te?rica est? pautada na discuss?o entre os temas: Inova??o, Gest?o do Conhecimento, Startups e Modelagem de Equa??es Estruturais. Ao desenvolver o referencial te?rico, buscou-se analisar as correntes de pensamentos existentes entre os principais autores destas tem?ticas nas bases de dados Scopus e Web of Science. Com o embasamento te?rico, as seguintes hip?teses foram formuladas: H1: A cria??o do conhecimento tem influencia positiva para a capacidade de inova??o nas startups brasileiras; H2: A absor??o do conhecimento tem influencia positiva para a capacidade de inova??o nas startups brasileiras; H3: O aplica??o do conhecimento tem influencia positiva para a capacidade de inova??o nas startups brasileiras; H4: O compartilhamento do conhecimento tem influencia positiva para a capacidade de inova??o nas startups brasileiras. Quanto aos aspectos metodol?gicos, este estudo se caracteriza como uma pesquisa qualiquantitativa, de objetivo formalizado com m?todo de interroga??o e escopo de estudo de caso. A coleta de dados apresentou abrang?ncia nacional, e foi realizada atrav?s de uma survey aplicada com as startups cadastradas na base de dados da ABStartups. A an?lise dos dados foi desenvolvida com o uso da Modelagem de Equa??es Estruturais. Como resultados obteve-se que os processos que dependem estritamente da pr?pria organiza??o, a cria??o e aplica??o do conhecimento, apresentam maiores influ?ncias na capacidade de inova??o das empresas. Um vez que a absor??o e compartilhamento do conhecimento, ou seja, que apresentam influ?ncias de stakeholders acabam por apresentar efeito negativo no potencial inovador das organiza??es estudadas. / The objective of this research is to develop and validate a structural model that demonstrates the interrelationship of the key processes of knowledge management (creation, absorption, application and sharing) as determinants of innovation capacity of Brazilian startups. This study is justified because knowledge is the essence of the innovation process, although these companies present innovation as a basis, they face barriers related to the knowledge management process, and this factor can contribute to the high mortality rates diagnosed in the country. In this way, we search for results that allow us to help the decision-making of these companies and their respective stakeholders. The theoretical basis is based on the following themes: Innovation, Knowledge Management, Startups and Modeling of Structural Equations. In developing the theoretical framework we sought to analyze the currents of thought among the main authors of these themes in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. With the theoretical basis, the following hypotheses were formulated: H1: The creation of knowledge has a positive influence on the capacity of innovation in Brazilian startups; H2: The absorption of knowledge has a positive influence on the capacity of innovation in Brazilian startups; H3: The application of knowledge has a positive influence on the capacity of innovation in Brazilian startups; H4: Sharing knowledge has a positive influence on innovation capacity in Brazilian startups. Regarding the methodological aspects, this study is characterized as a qualitative-quantitative research, of formalized objective with interrogation method and scope of a case study. The collection of data will be national, and will be carried out through a survey applied with the startups registered in the AB Startups database. The analyze of the data will be developed using the Structural Equation Modeling. As results, it was obtained that the processes that depend strictly the own organization, the creation and application of the knowledge, show majors influences in the capacity of innovation of the companies. Since the absorption and sharing of knowledge, in other words, that present influences of stakeholders end up having a negative effect on the innovative potential of organizations studies.
