Jonas Pedro Fabris, Maria Emilia Camargo, Suzana Leitão Russo, Jose Zayas-Castro
This theoretical paper aimed to explicit, through the
rescue of theoretical assumptions, the innovation, the
innovation system, and the research and development
(R&D) activities. The innovation, especially
technological innovation, is now seen as essential in
differentiation strategies, competitiveness and growth
in a greater number of businesses. Innovation is not
only the result of financial investments by companies.
For it to exist, it is necessary the existence of
innovative capacity that should be present at all stages
of the innovation process, and a favorable institutional
environment and, increasingly, of specific incentive
policies. That is, there are internal and external factors
to companies and other institutions involved in the
process. Innovation systems were discovered to
resolve the variations in the degree of competitiveness
of different economies and, above all, in relation to the
technological performance and the ability to innovate
these economies face the growing importance of
international markets for high-tech products. Thus, it
was found that successful innovators are not successful
just because of their personal qualities and actions but
as a result of their interaction with research and
innovation systems that inhabit the quality of such
systems. Full Text
