No. of bitstreams: 1 BeneditaMGC_TESE.pdf: 2605116 bytes, checksum: d46e59abd294480d5e8cc02148c2148d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-04-17 / The starting point of the present work consisted of investigating the development of biotechnology in the Northeast region of Brazil from the perspective of a Regional Innovation System (RIS). The theoretical framework adopted relied on the approaches and concepts presented by the Neo-Schumpeterian perspective. This framework was chosen because, by means of the Innovation System concept, this literature allows us to analyze the relationships and configurations of actors, as well as the role of the state and of social, science and technology, and economic policies in the studied region. The analysis considered four selected dimensions: physical infrastructure, human capital, scientific production, and funding. These variables were chosen because they allow us to verify the possibilities and limitations of developing a biotechnology RIS in the Northeast of Brazil, and these elements would help in answering the question behind this dissertation. The location of the physical infrastructure was determined by means of bibliographic and documental research and interviews with heads of institutions that do biotechnology research. Regarding human capital, the analysis focused on resource training in biotechnology, highlighting graduate courses and research groups in the area. To measure knowledge production, we delimited scientific collaboration among researchers in the field of biotechnology as the focus of this category. For the funding dimension, information was gathered from reports available at the websites of national and state funding agencies. The data was analyzed through method triangulation, involving quantitative and qualitative research stages. To back the analyses, we revisited the integration policies in the area of Science, Technology and Innovation. Our analysis has shown that these policies play a crucial role in the development of biotechnology in the region being studied. The data revealed that the physical infrastructure is concentrated in only three states (Bahia, Cear?, and Pernambuco). In this regard, the Northeast Biotechnology Network (Renorbio) stands out as a strategic actor, enabling states with poor infrastructure to develop research through partnerships with institutions located in another state. We have also verified that the practices involving human resource training and knowledge production are factors that enable the emergence of a regional system for biotechnology in the studied region. As limitations, we have verified the low immersion level of regional actors, the heterogeneity of socioeconomic indicators, the lack of financial resources, and a low innovation culture in the business sector. Overall, we have concluded that the development of a Regional Innovation System in Biotechnology, based on the current regional dynamics, depends on an effective change in the behavior of the social agents involved, both in the national and regional dimensions as well as in the public and private spheres / O ponto de partida do presente trabalho consistiu em investigar o desenvolvimento da biotecnologia no Nordeste brasileiro na perspectiva de um Sistema Regional de Inova??o (SRI). Assim, o marco te?rico adotado consistiu nas abordagens e conceitos apresentados pela corrente neoschumpeteriana. A escolha ocorreu em fun??o de a literatura possibilitar, mediante o conceito de sistema de inova??o, a an?lise de rela??es e as configura??es de atores, bem como do papel do Estado e das pol?ticas sociais, de ci?ncia e tecnologia e econ?micas na Regi?o em estudo. A an?lise ocorreu mediante a elei??o de quatro dimens?es: infraestrutura f?sica, capital humano, produ??o cient?fica e financiamento. A escolha destas vari?veis ocorreu em fun??o de elas possibilitarem verificar as possibilidades e limites de desenvolvimento de um SRI em biotecnologia no Nordeste brasileir, elementos que permitem responder ao questionamento norteador desta tese. A localiza??o da infraestrutura f?sica ocorreu mediante pesquisa bibliogr?fica, documental e entrevistas com coordenadores de institui??es voltadas para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas em biotecnologia. Capital humano - a an?lise incidiu sobre a forma??o de recursos em biotecnologia, destacando-se os cursos de p?s-gradua??o e grupos de pesquisas na ?rea. Para mensurar a produ??o do conhecimento delimitamos como foco dessa categoria a colabora??o cient?fica entre pesquisadores na ?rea de biotecnologia. Quanto ? dimens?o: financiamento, as informa??es foram coletadas junto a relat?rios disponibilizados nos sites de ag?ncias financiadoras de ?mbito nacional e estadual. Os dados foram analisados mediante a triangula??o de m?todos, envolvendo etapas das pesquisas quantitativas e qualitativas. Para subsidiar as an?lises revisitamos as pol?ticas de integra??o na ?rea de Ci?ncia, Tecnologia e Inova??o. A an?lise possibilitou verificar que estas pol?ticas desempenham papel essencial para o desenvolvimento da biotecnologia na Regi?o em estudo. Os dados revelaram que a infraestrutura f?sica apresenta concentra??o em apenas tr?s estados (Bahia, Cear? e Pernambuco). Nesse aspecto, a Rede Nordeste de Biotecnologia (Renorbio) surge como ator estrat?gico por possibilitar que estados com baixa infraestrutura desenvolvam pesquisas em parcerias com institui??es localizadas em outro estado. Verificamos, tamb?m, que as pr?ticas voltadas para a forma??o em recursos humanos e produ??o do conhecimento apresentam-se como fatores que possibilitam a emers?o de um sistema regional em biotecnologia em biotecnologia na Regi?o em estudo. Como limita??es, verificamos a baixa imers?o entre atores regionais, heterogeneidade nos indicadores socioec?micos, escassez de recursos financeiros e baixa cultura para inova??o por parte do setor empresarial. De forma geral, conclu?mos que o desenvolvimento de um sistema regional de inova??o em Biotecnologia, tomando-se como base a atual din?mica regional, depende de uma efetiva mudan?a de comportamento dos agentes sociais envolvidos, tanto nas dimens?es nacionais e regionais, como p?blicas e privadas
