Abstract

Objetivo do estudo:  Investigou-se nesse estudo como as empresas de base tecnológica (EBT), visando adaptá-las às mudanças tecnológicas contínuas, desenvolvem a capacidade tecnológica (CT) a fim de gerar a inovação (I).

Metodologia/abordagem: Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória, a partir de estudo de casos múltiplos, baseadas em observações diretas, análise de documentos e entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com os dirigentes das EBT. As entrevistas foram codificadas e analisadas utilizando o software Atlas.ti que contribuiu com a realização da técnica de análise de conteúdo.

Originalidade/Relevância: Dado o ambiente de negócios caracterizado por mudanças tecnológicas contínuas, as EBT devem estimular sua CT e inovar continuamente para garantir sua sobrevivência.

Principais resultados: Constatou-se que as cinco dimensões teóricas da I e os quatro componentes da CT se manifestaram nas EBT estudadas, além da consolidação do modelo teórico de pesquisa, integrando novo componente da CT: ‘capital cultural’.

Contribuições teóricas/ metodológicas: Buscou-se evoluir com a literatura de capacidade tecnológica e inovação no contexto de EBT.

Contribuições sociais / para a gestão: Espera-se que esta investigação possa auxiliar futuros empreendedores tecnológicos a identificarem quais componentes da CT e dimensões da I, auxiliam na gestão de EBT.
