Objectives: The central objective of this paper is to propose and test a model for the development of network governance structures to respond to the silo effect in the innovation management process in a large research organization. Method: A case study was used with the objective of building a governance model that could address the problems derived from the silo effect. To achieve the objective, validation workshops were held, with teams being challenged to reflect on the mechanisms and basic rules used to assemble the model. Results: The efforts made to inhibit the silo effect in the organization investigated were successful. Internal events were held to exchange knowledge between research centers, which resulted in greater stimulation of connections between these and other actors throughout the innovation ecosystem. Conclusions: The governance model adopted to mitigate the problems derived from the silo effect proved to be effective in promoting interaction between research centers on issues related to open innovation. The model, supported by mechanisms and basic rules inserted in the key actions, proved to be efficient in promoting a more intense relationship between the research units of the institution studied, resulting in new network actions.

Open innovation is one of those catchwords that has been capturing the imaginaries of our societies, pointing out transformative designs. "Open innovation" is being viewed as "the next word" in innovation studies and management practices. Bibliometric reviews have been revealing that open innovation has spawned special issues, numerous books, and hundreds of papers devoted to proposing this (allegedly) new policy framework. With this bibliographical essay, we give a qualitative review that understands open innovation and the reach of its literature: i.e., the presumptions in place and how an entrepreneurial and management bias marks it, benefiting from announced technological trajectories currently amplified by the digital age and the alleged opportunities of the 4.0 industry.

With globalization, it is evident that organizations are in constant transformation and that the demand for more sophisticated and personalized products and services grows every day to meet an increasingly demanding public. This forces organizations to expand their ability to innovate, increase their productivity, their economic growth and their competitive advantage, in some cases they are forced to expand their operations in new markets so as not to be swallowed up by the competition. Thus, this article aims to verify the influence of Human Capital in the generation of innovations within organizations. The research will show the importance of the diversity of human capital in the innovation capacity of organizations, as they favor problem solving and the generation of new ideas, products and services. It was possible to observe that there is a positive relationship between human capital and the innovation capacity of organizations, as this is responsible for all the growth and development of the organization, the result of innovations that arise from the resolution of a small problem to the creation of a magnificent product, in some cases exceeding the physical capital itself.

This study aims to analyze the existing literature in order to identify the importance of absorptive capacity for innovation in the public sector in order to indicate elements that allow an improved understanding of the subject. Therefore, a narrative review of the literature was conducted in order to synthesize previous works on the topic. The study approaches the theoretical aspects that go from the establishment of the model of managerial administration culminating in the importance of the absorptive capacity for innovation in the public sector. Despite the few researches on the subject, the absorptive capacity presents itself as an important organizational antecedent for the generation of innovations that respond to the varied challenges of public organizations in responding to the demands of society.

Innovation refers to the phenomenon of creation, introduction of novelties, and recombinations. It is linked to radical changes or incremental reformulations of something already existing. The term has gained significant space in economics studies, but as time has progressed it has inevitably reached the field of law. In this context, this research focuses on delineating an adequate notion of innovation for the Brazilian Public Administration, elaborating its own experimental flow and addressing the perspectives of innovation for public management. It seeks, primarily, to present innovation, experimentalism and its challenges for an innovative management model. Methodologically, the research has a deductive approach, based on bibliographic and documental research techniques. The conclusion is that innovation, for the Public Administration, means creating or recombining services and goods with the aim of conforming to the public interest, observing an adequate experimental flow. The consolidation of an innovative administration also depends on the change of culture in the management and in the control bodies. Finally, there must be investment in research, science and technology, and digital literacy for the collaborative model of management that is demanded by innovation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Innovation represents a competitive advantage for companies; however, technological and market dynamism compromise the maintenance of a lasting competitive advantage. To counteract the impacts of technological dynamism and enhance innovation performance, “research and development” (R&D) is a critical factor. R&D acts as an important source of knowledge that can be transferred and support rapid advances in innovation. Another fundamental factor for the success of innovations is the way in which the innovation process is conceived and managed. Thus, both the intangible collection of knowledge used in its operations, which can be conferred mainly by R&D, and the capacity to manage innovation and its processes, directly impact the competitiveness of companies. However, there are still opportunities for a better understanding of the relationship between these two organizational aspects. In this sense, this article presents a systematic review of the literature in order to conceptually systematize the relationship between R&D activities and the systemic approach to innovation management. For that, the methodology of Systematic Literature Review was used, oriented to the development of artifacts originating from Design Science Research. As a main result, the research offers a conceptual framework emphasizing the relationship and feedback flows that exist between innovation management and R&D, including the concepts underlying the innovation process and the new product development process.

Objective: to assess the extent to which dynamic and innovative capabilities contribute to companies facing turbulent crisis scenarios such as the covid-19 pandemic. Methods: the research is characterized by a quantitative approach through an online survey and analysis by structural equation modeling (SEM). The study sample consisted of 166 companies. Results: The results showed that in the face of crisis environments (unexpected situations), companies with dynamic capabilities could deal more effectively with impacts in the face of crisis. On the other hand, but less significantly (p<0.10), innovation presents itself as a context of risk enhanced by crisis scenarios. Conclusions: The article theoretically contributes to the relationship between the themes of dynamic capacity, innovation, and impacts of the crisis, through a structural model, in the context of the pandemic generated by covid-19. From a managerial and practical perspective, the research highlights the importance of developing dynamic capabilities to face crises, as well as innovation, in the sense of being ready to face difficult scenarios, showing that companies with developed dynamic capabilities were able to face the crisis more satisfactorily. Finally, through factor analysis in a methodological way, the research refines the relationship between relevant themes (dynamic capacity and innovation) given the empirical-contextual axis (covid-19 crisis).

This study is part of the field of cyberculture and its implications for the management of educational institutions. The research developed investigated the challenges, opportunities and implications related to contemporary management practice, in the face of the emergence of digital culture. We believe that it is necessary to develop knowledge and practices, considering the irreversibility to which the digital world presents us. The research carried out, with a qualitative approach and exploratory character, was supported by bibliographic and field research. In the field research, the instruments used for data collection were semi-structured interviews conducted with managers of educational institutions that develop innovative processes, contemplating resources associated with digital technologies. Considering that most managers of educational institutions did not have the opportunity to use digital technologies in their initial training (graduation), elements were identified that challenge the management function of educational institutions in contemporary times and that also provide alternatives and possibilities for innovation. As a result, we present relevant categories referring to the challenges of management practice in this digital world where the digital culture urges us to make changes in the conduct of actions in the phase of the abundance of digital technologies.

El artículo tiene como propósito identificar de qué manera se ha analizado en la literatura académica el aporte de la co-creación para el proceso de innovación en las organizaciones y las relaciones con los clientes, entre 2004 y 2018. Para ello se hizo uso de la minería de datos y de texto de las publicaciones indexadas en Scopus que se refieren a co-creación, innovación y clientes en el periodo mencionado. Se emplearon herramientas como VOSviewer y Bibliometrix, y se encontró que otras áreas asociadas con co-creación, innovación y clientes corresponden a ventas, negocios, compromiso, desarrollo de productos y ventaja competitiva. En América Latina, México sobresale por su producción y citaciones. Fue posible descubrir temáticas emergentes que aún necesitan desarrollo en el estudio tales como marketing, cadena de suministro, co-creación e innovación de servicios. The paper aims to identify how the contribution of co-creation to the innovation process in organizations and customer relations has been analyzed in academic literature between 2004 and 2018. For this we use data and text mining in publications indexed in Scopus that refer to co-creation, innovation and clients in the mentioned period. We use tools such as VOSviewer and Bibliometrix, finding that other areas associated with co-creation, innovation and customers correspond to: sales, business, commitment, product development and competitive advantage. In Latin America, Mexico stands out for its production and citations. It was possible to discover emerging topics that still need development in the study such as marketing, supply chain, co-creation and service innovation.

Purpose – This paper examines the use of integration mechanisms in two innovation activities relationships: between exploitation product innovation and exploration product innovation, and between exploitation process innovation and exploration product innovation. It also identifies the benefits generated by the use of integration mechanisms. Design/methodology/approach – A multiple case study in four companies from different sectors which are a reference in product and process innovation. Findings – There is integration in the innovation activities relationships studied. The most used integration mechanisms in both relationships are regular collaboration, involvement for knowledge exchange (crossfunctional interface mechanisms), those related to a culture of freedom, such as the free flow and encouragement of ideas, and those related to knowledge and information exchange (connectedness mechanisms). Originality/value – In addition to identifying that integration is possible and occurs in companies, it was possible to verify that the use of integration mechanisms enables the generation of benefits for product innovation.

The present study aimed to identify and describe the international academic production about the digital platform in the Administration area, considering the time frame of January 2015 to December 2019.

Abstract: The creation of a management system to systematically promote innovation is a great challenge for large companies. Some authors argue for the creation of a dedicated organizational function (the Innovation Function – IF) to guide this system. This paper aims to understand how a large company builds an Innovation Function from a longitudinal and retrospective case study. Some aspects regarding the emergence of the IF, its organizational structure evolution, and changes on its team’s scope of action are discussed. The main results highlight the importance of key actors for IF’s recognition by the organization, serving as connecting mediators to other functions and external agents. Besides that, specific competence accumulation, gradual legitimacy acquisition, and project intermediary results enabled the team to deal with radical innovation projects over time.

Innovation has been considered a strategic theme in management, representing a greater challenge for companies. It is an important process to ensure the competitiveness of companies that directly reflects on local and regional economic development. In the case of companies in the cooperative sector, the theme of innovation is very relevant, considering the importance of participation of these companies in the development of the State. In this sense, this work aimed to analyze the perception of innovation managers in an agro-industrial cooperative located in Western Paraná, based on the evaluation of factors considered determinants for the innovation process. For the theoretical basis, concepts of innovation and innovation management were addressed, in addition to key factors for innovation management. The methodology consisted of a case study, with a descriptive quantitative approach and the application of a questionnaire to the cooperative's managers. The results of this study demonstrate that, among the determining factors of the innovation process, are: the presence of a culture of innovation and the establishment of organizational strategies, but that there are possibilities for improvements in some practices, namely: hiring specialized personnel in project management, facilitating the systematization of processes, reducing deadlines and increasing the chances of success, as well as the adoption of offensive and opportunistic innovation strategies, enabling a gain in competitiveness.

The purpose of this essay was to theoretically relate two constructions: the motivation of the individual and the types of co-production of the public good. The main theoretical bases used are derived from research in the third sector, specifically the theory of public goods and the theory of interdependence, as well as in public management, with respect to the New Public Governance - NPG. Under the lens of the functionalist paradigm, we seek to link the variables inherent in the two constructions to reach the desired result. This lies in the possibility of raising the levels of citizenship in Brazil, through participation and co-production of the public good. The co-production has brought innovation to management and addresses issues that involve society in general, through the promotion of participation and, therefore, citizenship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
