The purpose of this paper is to examine how the target to convert the Swedish military aviation industry towards working within the civilian sector was planned and implemented parallel to the target of building a world-class military aircraft. A number of Government bills have been studied, bills directly connected to the JAS-project as well as bills dealing with civilian project ́s for the military aviation industry. The first group includes bills dealing with the JAS-project ́s role in the overarcing defence policy, as well as the Government ́s bill specifying the guidelines for the JAS-project. The other group includes five bills regarding Government funding for civilian projects supporting the military aviation industry ́s transition from the military to the civilian market. The paper shows that the double targets of the JAS-project were separated early on into two simultaneous processes. While the target of developing and producing a new military aircraft was placed within the JAS-project, the target of converting the military aviation industry for the civilian market was directed toward a number of government-supported civilian projects. These civilian projects were based and dependent on cooperation deals between the Swedish aviation industry (Saab aviation and Volvo flygmotor) and two of their American counterparts (Fairchild Industries and General Electric Company). This paper points to the Government having an ambition for the civilian projects to create the base for a stable Swedish civilian aviation industry to which the personnel from the military side of the aviation industry could be transferred once their work on the JAS-project was done. Unfortunately, with the cancellation and changes of the deals with the American aviation industy during the 1980 ́s and the decison by Saab aviation to stop production of commercial aircrafts in 1999, the Government ́s vision of a civilian aviation industry could not be realised. As no Swedish civilian aviation industry had been established the personnel from the development side of the JAS-project would have nowhere to be transferred to (after their part in the project was done). While the Governments target with converting of the aviation industy to save the industries knowledge and expertise was fulfilled in the short term, the ambition to spread this knowledge and expertise to other parts of the Swedish industry and thus make the aviation industry a driving force for the development of Swedish technology industry were not realised.

Desta forma, utiliza-se uma abordagem que trata a inovação como um processo sistêmico, contínuo e evolucionário. O trabalho conclui que, nos últimos dez anos, o Sistema Setorial de Inovação do setor automotivo passou - e ainda passa - por profundas transformações - fruto da co-evolução dos seus elementos - que alteram continuamente sua estrutura e o tornam mais dinâmico e complexo / Abstract: This research work aims to identify and analyze the main simultaneous evolutions in the elements - demand, technological regime, actors and institutions - that compose the Sectoral Innovation System of Automotive Sector, through a methodology based on Malerba's (2002) work. Thereby, we use an approach that treats innovation as a systemic, continuous and evolutionary process. The work concludes that, in the past ten years, the Sectoral Innovation System of automotive sector has undergone deep transformations - result of co-evolution of its elements - that continually change its structure and make it more dynamic and complex / Mestre

XXI: the Industrial Policy, Technological and External Trade (PITCE) - 2003- 2008 - and the Productive Development Policy (PDP) 2008-2010. The central objective is to verify if the industrial policies elaborated during this period were able to internalize the key variables to incentive innovation Theory of Neo-Schumpeterian, from the incorporation of the concept of innovation and its dynamics for the economy. To this end, the study is organized in order to: identify the fundamentals related to incentive of innovation present in Neo- Schumpeterian (Evolutionary) Theory and its implications for the formulation of function of industrial policy, list the most significant changes in relation to the grounding of brazilian industrial policy, and finally analyze the instruments, actions and mechanisms developed by PITCE and PDP, and the ability of each to internalize such fundamentals for the development and technological innovation / A Dissertação analisa as propostas de Política Industrial Nacional, formuladas no início do sec. XXI: a Política Industrial, Tecnológica e de Comércio Exterior (PITCE) vigorada entre 2003 e 2008 e, a Política de Desenvolvimento Produtivo (PDP) vigorada entre 2008 e 2010. O objetivo central é verificar se as políticas industriais elaboradas durante este período, foram capazes de internalizar as variáveis chaves de incentivo à inovação da Teoria Neo- Schumpeteriana, a partir da incorporação do conceito de inovação e sua dinâmica para a economia. Para tal, o estudo será organizado de forma a: identificar os principais fundamentos relacionados ao estímulo da inovação presentes na Teoria Neo-Schumpeteriana (Evolucionista) e suas implicações para formulação e função da Política Industrial, enumerar as alterações mais significativas em relação à fundamentação da PI brasileira, e, finalmente analisar os instrumentos, ações e mecanismos elaborados pela PITCE e PDP e a capacidade de cada uma em internalizar tais fundamentos para o desenvolvimento e inovação tecnológica

The aim of this study is to determine the role that innovation plays in economic development and how an economic environment can be created that is conducive to innovation. The urgent need for development in large parts of the world indicates the importance of the increase in innovative activities because innovation is indicated as the “engine of growth and development”. It was found that innovation takes place within an innovation system and should be studied from a system perspective. The system perspective implies that there are different participants and that these participants function individually but that they also interact (wittingly or unwittingly) with one another. The innovation system is defined as a system that includes the participants or actors and their activities and interactions, as well as the socio-economic environment within which these actors or participants function, which determine the innovative performance of the system. A system approach is therefore necessary to study the influence of innovation on development. The role that innovation plays in economic development has been established by means of the historical patterns of economic development and major innovations as well as an analysis of literature of empirical studies. The historical pattern indicates the importance of innovation for economic development, but literature revealed the complexity of the relationship due to the non-linear relationship among different actors or participants in an innovation system. The main determinants of innovation was identified and a conceptual, descriptive model for an innovation system was developed, indicating the different participants, their roles, the interaction among them, and the economic environment within which the participants function. The model was applied to the Mpumalanga province in South Africa as case study. Strengths and weaknesses were identified in the Mpumalanga innovation system and recommendations were made for the improvement of the Mpumalanga innovation system which in turn should lead to an improvement in the economic development of the province. / Economics / D.Comm.
