Full textAbstract:
When compared to other industries, the construction industry has been slow to adopt digital technologies. BIM stands for Building Information Modeling (hereon referred to as BIM) and it represents a turning point when it comes to digitalization in the AEC sector. Despite BIM’s proven potential to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of construction projects, widescale adoption, and implementation of construction projects using BIM hasn’t happened yet. This research aims to conduct an innovation analysis of adoption of BIM in Europe using innovation theories such as Rogers’s diffusion theory and Crossing the Chasm by Moore. We hope the reader will have an understanding of the various adoption barriers for BIM in Europe after reading this research paper.Jämfört med andra branscher har byggbranschen varit långsam med att använda digital teknik. BIM står för Building Information Modeling (nedan kallad BIM) och representerar en vändpunkt när det gäller digitalisering inom AEC-sektorn. Trots BIM: s beprövade potential att minska kostnaderna och förbättra effektiviteten i byggprojekt, har vidsträckt antagande och genomförande av byggprojekt med BIM ännu inte hänt. Denna forskning syftar till att göra en innovationsanalys av antagandet av BIM i Europa med hjälp av innovationsteorier som Rogers diffusionsteori och Crossing the Chasm av Moore. Vi hoppas att läsaren kommer att ha en förståelse för de olika adoptionsbarriärerna för BIM i Europa efter att ha läst detta forskningsdokument.

Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical references.IT governance is a highly researched field with a majority of the literature focusing on structural (form) and processual (contingency) mechanisms. The theoretical foundations of agency theory, which has a strong focus on control, predominantly underpin the current IT governance practices. The field is lacking in research contributions on relational mechanisms of IT governance and how they influence governance outcomes. Despite the amount of prescriptive models and “best practice frameworks” available in the field, achieving key IT governance outcomes remains amongst the highest ranked management concerns. This paper seeks to explicate the disharmony between current practices and espoused theory through a case study within an organization in the pursuit to understand multi-stakeholder perspectives as to their impression of governance, its purpose and relevance in the organization; for the purpose of attaining a systemic, multi -perspective view on governance as a practice within organizations, as opposed to those prescribed in mainstream theory. A key objective of this research is to provide more insight on the existing gap between the various stakeholders' perspectives on IT governance in the multiple echelons of an organization, with particular emphasis on the alignment of mental models and the process of sense making; revealing a deeper understanding of current governance practices from the social/relational, structural and processual mechanisms within an organization and highlighting the as-lived perceptions on IT governance purpose, objectives, important IT mechanisms for effective IT governance and perspectives on current IT governance effectiveness within their context. The culmination of the findings from this research reveal in a need for organizations to engage in a sense-making process that enables the inclusive conceptualization of IT governance within their context. At the core, it is about IT governance vision- purpose- practice alignment, and as a (important) consequence, about business and IT alignment.

Business Administration/Strategic ManagementD.B.A.
This study investigates the concept of lifecycle stage and how, specifically in New Technology Base Firms (NTBFs), lifecycle stage can provide a more refined understanding of many of the relationships people have investigated, and would like to investigate, around NTBFs. This paper is broken up into a series of studies looking at specific areas of existing research of NTBFs, namely the attributes of a CEO and their relationship with firm success as well as previously discovered determinants of innovation within NTBFs, and provides an understanding of how the lifecycle phase of a firm impacts the conclusions within this existing research. The objective of this research is to demonstrate the importance of lifecycle stage as a key variable to be considered when studying NTBFs, and to help increase the predictiveness and generalizability of existing research to enable it to be more effectively translated into best practices used by practitioners.

L'hypothese de recherche est que des combinaisons differenciees de la proximite organisationnelle et de la proximite institutionnelle ont des consequences sur les processus d'innovation des firmes et l'aptitude des acteurs locaux a repondre collectivement aux enjeux productifs presents et anticipes pour l'avenir. Nous illustrons cette hypothese en comparant les evolutions differenciees d'un district industriel, la vallee de l'Arve en France, et d'un ensemble de PME, le jura bernois en SuisseThe thesis is about the evolution of SME's agglomeration. We focus on the innovation process of the firm. The theoretical tools are : the works of A. Marshall on evolution and industrial district, G. B. Richardson on co-operation and B. J. Loasby on economics knowledge. Our analysis is also based on the new spatial approaches of territory and proximity. We demonstrate that different combinations of organisational and institutional proximity imply first the differentiation of innovation process and secondly the ability of local actors to manage collectively the present and future issues. In this perspective, we have compared the evolution of an industrial district, the vallee de l'Arve in France, and a cluster of SME, the jura bernois in Switzerland

This dissertation seeks to understand how organizations adopt a disruptive technology, open source software. Five cross-sectional case studies at municipal governments were performed using a theoretical model based off of eight organizational adoption theories. Results of the case studies highlight how each construct from each theory was present at the organizations. However each construct was of variable influence based upon organizational characteristics and the time or stage of adoption.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, it has been admitted by many researchers that students today are "digital natives" who already utilize several different technologies everyday with different purposes. Furthermore, while there is a plethora of research about learners' perceptions in language pedagogy, there is a paucity of information and research that could move beyond generic perception studies especially regarding new technologies. Accordingly, educators are still concerned not only with how to encourage EFL learners to adopt emerging technologies that could be invaluable in their language learning processes, but also with how to keep students interested in what they are learning. Thus, an understanding beyond students' perceptions with a purposive focus on their approach to technology by also exploring factors that have an influence on their adoption of emerging technologies is the key to knowing how to motivate students to integrate new technologies, and how to keep students interested in the learning process. Therefore, the purpose of this study was three-fold: to identify language learners' approaches to technologies; to examine their attitude toward emerging technologies with a focus on their familiarity, actual use, intentions and perceptions; and finally to analyze the factors and relationships among these factors that best predict language learners' intentions and decisions to use emerging technologies. The study specifically aimed to explore the following emerging technologies: (a) social networking, (b) mobile learning, and (c) digital games as major emerging technologies of today with also a focus on other emerging technologies: (a) augmented reality, (b) wearable technologies, (c) virtual assistants, (d) massive online open courses, (e) 3D printing and (f) online language learning platforms. This mixed methods study benefitted from multiple disciplines, and presented several different perspectives to achieve its aim. The data were obtained through a survey, open-ended questions, and semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. In addition, structural equation modeling was utilized and path analysis was employed to draw on two complementary frameworks: innovation diffusion theory (Rogers, 2003), especially its application in technology adopter categories (TACI) (Dugas, 2005), and the decomposed theory of planned behavior (DTPB) (Taylor & Todd, 1995), which was adapted for this research. The qualitative data was analyzed through thematic content analysis, and used to triangulate and affirm what the quantitative data was showing. The findings indicated that technology adopter categories were normally distributed among EFL learners at a public and a private university in Turkey. Although most EFL learners were quite familiar and confident with major emerging technologies, they were not very familiar with minor emerging technologies. As for an awareness of the benefits of all listed emerging technologies, the study revealed that EFL learners' awareness is quite high; however, it was also found that participants' intention to use these emerging technologies and their actual use were very low. Finally, the results showed that the adapted DTPB was useful in explaining much of the variance in the intention to integrate technology into language learning processes by EFL learners, and attitude was the most important predictor and factor of behavioral intention. Given these findings, this research aims to contribute to the literature in innovation diffusion, user adoption and language pedagogy by offering several theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical implications and directions for future research and applications.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MScEng (Industrial Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.ENGLISH SUMMARY: The research documents the development of a conceptual framework, the improbable circumstances strategic (ICS) framework, which guides organisations in the preparation for improbable circumstances. Four fields include: strategic management, innovation, systems thinking and complexity theories (black swans). The black swan principle was introduced with its applicability to the 2008 economic crisis. The black swan is an event which is retrospective in its predictability, highly improbable and carries extreme impact. There are various principles to cope with black swans which will now play a role in strategic management. Strategic management is studied from a systems thinking perspective which is a school of thought that strategy is a process which an organisation should follow from analysis, synthesis, implementation through to the operation phase. Some tools applicable to the analysis and synthesis phases were studied to give a greater understanding of the current field of strategic management. Innovation is an underlying principle which supports the strategic process. Innovation is a field which is currently not playing a large role in the strategy process. The principles of the innovation life cycle, innovation management and open innovation were studied to support the framework as well as create awareness around the advantages thereof within the field strategy. The dissertation uses aspects of these four fields to form the ICS framework. The framework consists of four phases: the analysis phase; the improbable event creation phase; the fragility analysis phase; and the synthesis phase. The first three phases run parallel with the current analysis phase of strategic management as the ICS framework is not designed to replace the strategic management process, but to add to it. The synthesis phase is where the design of the strategic plan for improbable circumstances takes place. Each phase sets out the inputs, requirements and deliverables needed for the successful implementation of the framework. Some tools for each of the phases are given, but they are given merely as a guideline as different organisations have the infrastructure for different tools. The framework is partially validated by being able to apply various tools to each phase, but the framework’s place in the field of strategy should be validated. The validation is done through interviews with eight industry experts in the four fields of study discussed. The results show a positive response with a call for future study through implementation, a tracking of the framework through this implementation and critical factors that arise from that.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsing beskryf die ontwikkeling van ‘n moontlike raamwerk; die onverwagte omstandigheids strategiese (ICS) raamwerk, wat organisasies met die voorbereiding vir onverwagte gebeure kan help. Vier areas word beskryf wat insluit: strategiese bestuur, innovasie, stelsels denke en kompleksiteitsteorie(swart swane). Die swart swaan beginsel is gebruik weens die toepasbaarheid daarvan op die ekonomiese krisis van 2008. ‘n Swart swaan is ‘n gebeurtenis wat terugwerkend voorspelbaar is, baie onwaarskynlik en ‘n groot impak het. Daar is verskeie beginsels om swart swane te hanteer wat vorentoe ‘n rol in strategiese bestuur kan speel. Strategiese bestuur word vanuit ‘n stelsels denke oogpunt bekyk wat strategie as die proses sien wat ‘n organisasie moet volg van analises, saamvoeging en implimentering tot die bedryfsfase. Sommige tegnieke wat op analises en sintese gerig is, is ondersoek om ‘n groter begrip van strategiese bestuur te gee. Innovasie is die onderliggende beginsel wat die strategiese proses ondersteun. Innovasie speel tans nie ‘n noemenswaardige rol in die strategie proses nie. Beginsels van die innovasie siklus, innovasiebestuur en oop innovasie is ondersoek om die raamwerk te ondersteun asook om ‘n bewuswording van die voordele daarvan in strategie uit te wys. Hierdie verhandeling bespreek vier fases van die ICS raamwerk: analises; die onverwagte gebeurtenis skepping; kwesbaarheids analises; en sintese fases. Die eerste drie fases word parallel met die bestaande analitiese fases van strategie bestuur as die ICS raamwerk gedoen en is nie ontwerp om die strategie bestuurs proses te vervang nie, maar om daartoe by te dra. Gedurende die sintese fase word die ontwerp van die strategiese plan vir onverwagte gebeure gedoen. Elke fase beskryf die toevoer, benodigdhede en aflewerbares nodig vir die suksesvolle implimentering van die raamwerk. Sommige hulpmiddels vir elk van die fases word gegee, maar slegs as ‘n riglyn want verskillende organisasies het die infrastruktuur vir verskillende hulpmiddels. Die raaamwerk word deels gekontroleer deur dat dit moontlik is om verskeie hulpmiddels op elke fase toe te pas, maar die plek van die raamwerk in die area van strategie moet gekontroleer word. Kontrole is gedoen deur dit met agt industrie kenners in die vier studie velde te bespreek. Die resultate toon ‘n positiewe reaksie vir toekomstige navorsing deur implimentering en die navolg van die raamwerk deur hierdie implimentering en die kritiese faktore wat daaruit mag voorvloei te doen.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) have adopted policies that engage the private sector in the implementation of their development mandates. Despite the implications of these changes, the subject is among the least conceptualized. By applying a theory-guided process-tracing (TGPT) methodology, this paper examines the process of change at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). It advances a constructivist argument and evaluates whether this change could be viewed as a norm-driven change, where norms of corporate social responsibility (CSR), in the process of interaction and learning, have obtained an intersubjective quality and redefined the role of the private sector in the context of organization’s objectives. The paper evaluates this argument in light of the alternative assumptions of the principal-agent model, the bureaucratic culture literature, and rational choice institutionalism. It highlights the implications of this research in empirical, analytical, and theoretical terms for further studies and concludes that, without a due assessment of the intervening effect of norms on policies, the causal claims of other theories are seriously challenged.

Full textAbstract:
xv, 145 p. : ill. (some col.)This dissertation examines the role of affect in consumer judgments in two essays. The first essay explores the use of affect as a heuristic basis for judgments of the risks and benefits associated with new products. Current perspectives regarding the processes by which consumers make decisions about the adoption of innovations maintain that it is largely a cognitive process. However, the four studies that make up the first essay suggest that consumer assessments of the risks and benefits associated with product innovations are often inversely related and affectively congruent with evaluations of those innovations. The results support and extend previous research that has investigated the affect heuristic in the context of social hazards. The findings further indicate that more affectively extreme evaluations are associated with increasingly disparate assessments of risk and benefit. The results indicate that this relationship is consistent across a variety of products and product categories. Together, these findings challenge traditional conceptualizations of innovation adoption decision making and suggest that cognitive models alone are insufficient to explain innovation adoption decisions. The second essay investigates if processing fluency - the difficulty associated with processing information - may serve as an input to the affect heuristic and subsequent judgments of risk and benefit. Recently, Song and Schwarz investigated the relationship between differences in fluency and perceptions of risk. Their results suggested that fluency experiences influence risk perception through differences in familiarity and not as the result of fluency-elicited affect. The three studies included in the second essay re-examine those results in an effort to clarify the role of affect as a basis for perceptions of risk. The findings document a previously unreported reversal in preference for less fluent stimuli and suggest that fluency-elicited affect can explain the relationship between processing experiences and perceptions of risk. The results have important theoretical implications for our understanding of how people derive meaning from fluency experiences and for the role of fluency-elicited affect as a basis for judgments of risk and benefit.

In the literature there is a great emphasis on the theories of regional growth and
development. In many theories, the role of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in
the economic growth and development of different regions has been widely discussed.
Therefore, there is an emphasis upon the importance of the SMEs in the growth and
development of the regional and national economies.
The aim of this study is to clarify the role of local capabilities in the exporting SMEs
and consequently define their role in regional growth and shed some light on the
situation of the local capabilities in Ankara province. Therefore, in this study, firstly
the theoretical framework of regional growth theories and the role of exporting SMEs
in the regional economic growth are constructed. Secondly, the increasing role of
different types of SMEs in the regional growth and their defining characteristics are

Full textAbstract:
This project explores storytelling tools for the collaborative work with persons in vulnerable situation, in this case, a group of unaccompanied minors from Afghanistan, living in Umeå, Sweden. The concept presented is the prototype of an eating experierence, BAHAM bolani: An idea for a social company where the participants are active into creating their own possibilities to stay in Sweden. With their own stories, they fill in the gap of how unaccompanied minors and asylum seekers are depicted in the dominant narrative. It is them providing meaning to the design concept. The theoretical approach is from a decolonising and feminist point of view, with collaborative design methods. In the discussion, I debate the need of more listening tools for the design community based on these theories, because they allow the designer to challenge their own cultural assumptions, and meet the participants in a more humble and equal way, especially when working with persons in vulnerable situations.

Full textAbstract:
La coproduction de service est un aspect essentiel de la production de service, plus encore avec l’avènement de la customisation de masse et de la notion de client/employé partiel. Les scripts, et plus précisément les scripts de services, sont l’un des outils qui permettent aux organisations d’influer sur la coproduction de services. Un des pans des recherches menées sur la coproduction de service se penche sur la formation du client afin que l’organisation sache ce qu’elle peut attendre de lui et réciproquement. Ces recherches sont notamment menées dans le secteur de la Santé à propos de la coproduction de soin. Parmi les outils à disposition des organisations se trouve les serious games, des jeux-vidéo à but informatif et pédagogique. Nos travaux cherchent à savoir selon quelles propriétés et dans quels contextes les serious games peuvent être des véhicules pour les scripts de soins à destination des patients, en amont de leur prise en charge comme lors de celle-ci.Pour ce faire, nous proposons une grille d’analyse basée sur les scripts pour montrer comment les serious games peuvent traduire et encapsuler des objectifs managériaux, en nous appuyant sur l’étude et l’analyse de 4 cas représentant chacun une facette de la coproduction de soinsService co-production is an essential aspect of service production theories, even more with the advent of mass customization and the notion of customer as a partial employee. One of the tools that allows organizations to influence the co-production of services are the scripts and more specifically the service’s scripts. Some of the researches carried out in the field of co-production of service focus on the client’s training so that the organization knows what it can expect from him and vice versa. This research is particularly carried out in the health sector and the co-production of care. Among the tools available to the organizations, we focus on the serious games, which are video games for informative and pedagogical purposes. Our work questions the properties and the contexts in which serious games can be vehicles for the scripts of care to the patients, before and during their nursing and treatment.To do so, we offer a comprehensive script-based analysis grid to show how serious games can translate and encapsulate managerial goals based on the study and analysis of 4 cases each representing a specific aspect of co-production of care

Full textAbstract:
Le déclin des communautés rurales menacées de désertification est un des principaux problèmes sociaux des pays industrialisés. Les vagues de modernisation y ont bousculé la vie traditionnelle de nombreux villages. Face à cela des citoyens ont lancé des initiatives dont nous avons fait le terrain d’expérimentation de notre thèse. Nous mobilisons à cet effet des théories pour analyser l’une d’entre elles, celle dite « Les Plus Beaux Villages ». Le concept des « Plus Beaux Villages » a été construit pour un projet de redynamisation selon un modèle différent de ceux fondés sur la croissance économique. Nous montrons quels sont les ressorts de sa mise en œuvre en nous appuyant sur les théories de l'innovation. Ces théories, d’abord introduites dans le domaine du changement technologique et de la croissance économique ont été étendues à d’autres champs et plus récemment à l’analyse des dynamiques qui transforment la société. Cette extension a recouru à plusieurs disciplines et a donné naissance au concept d'innovation sociale qui nous sert à analyser la dynamique complexe du développement local. Cette thèse permet donc de « proposer et étayer par des cas d’expérimentation réussie, un argumentaire puisé dans l’ensemble des théories de l’innovation et adapté à la mise en œuvre et au décryptage de changements propres à redynamiser des petites communautés rurales. » En confrontant des arguments théoriques et pratiques, notre recherche met en évidence que la démocratisation économique et politique d’une part et de la coopération étendue à un grand nombre d’acteurs, internes et externes, d’autre part, sont les facteurs essentiels du développement local des villagesThe decline of rural communities threatened by desertification is one of the main social problems of industrialized countries. Waves of modernization have disrupted the traditional way of life in many villages. Faced with this, citizens have launched initiatives that we have made the experimental field of our thesis. To this end, we have mobilized a number of theories to analyze one of these initiatives, known as the "Most Beautiful Villages". The "Plus Beaux Villages" concept was developed for a revitalization project based on a different model from those based on economic growth. We show what drives its implementation, drawing on theories of innovation. These theories, first introduced in the field of technological change and economic growth, have been extended to other fields, and more recently to the analysis of dynamics that transform society. This extension has drawn on several disciplines, giving rise to the concept of social innovation, which we use to analyze the complex dynamics of local development. The aim of this thesis is to "propose and support, through cases of successful experimentation, an argument drawn from the whole range of innovation theories and adapted to the implementation and deciphering of changes designed to revitalize small rural communities". By comparing theoretical and practical arguments, our research shows that economic and political democratization on the one hand, and cooperation involving a large number of internal and external actors on the other hand, are essential factors in the local development of the villages

Full textAbstract:
Titre: Categorisation et évaluation de l'innovation :approche par la théorie des prospects appliquée au cas du vin allégé en alcool.Chaque année de très nombreuses innovations sont proposées sur le marché, mais seul un nombre réduit d'entre elles rencontre le succès espéré. Face à ce constat, l'une des explications avancées par la recherche marketing est la difficulté du consommateur à catégoriser un nouveau produit.Ce travail s'insère dans le courant de recherches sur la catégorisation de l'innovation et suggère de tenir compte de l'incertitude qui caractérise ce processus. L'originalité de cette étude est de proposer un lien entre les recherches sur la catégorisation de l'innovation et celles sur la prise de décision en condition d'incertitude. La Théorie des Prospects (Kahneman et Tversky, 1979) en particulier, et l'un de ses principes, celui d'aversion aux pertes, ont fourni un cadre théorique adapté pour tenir compte du caractère d'incertitude de l'innovation. Notre question de recherche a proposé de vérifier si le principe d'aversion aux pertes pouvait s'appliquer pour expliquer comment la modification de certains attributs d'une catégorie provoque la perception d'une rupture et la création d'une nouvelle catégorie de produits par le consommateur.La partie empirique de ce travail a été appliquée dans le domaine le vin, un produit qui traverse une grave crise de consommation. Nous avons retenu une approche expérimentale à travers six études conduites sur des innovations du secteur vinicole. Les résultats ont permis de mettre en évidence le rôle majeur joué par la nature de l'attribut dans la catégorisation ainsi que son influence sur la perception des ruptures d'une catégorie.Du point de vue managérial, les conclusions de ce travail ont pour objet l'efficacité des stratégies d'innovation qui agissent sur les attributs d'un produit et sur leur capacité à différencier une innovation parmi la concurrence. Cette recherche fournit également des suggestions quant au positionnement et à la communication à mettre en place pour faciliter la compréhension d'un nouveau produit et donc son choix par le consommateurTitle: Categorization and evaluation of innovation: a prospect théory approach applied to the case of low alcohol content wine Every year numerous innovations are available on the market but only a small number meet the hoped-for success. Given this fact, one of the explanations offered by marketing research is the difficulty the consumer has to categorize a new product. This work is part of current research on the categorization of innovation and suggests to consider the uncertainty that characterizes this process. Its originality is to propose a link between research on the categorization of innovation and those of decision making under uncertain conditions. Prospect Theory (Kahneman et Tversky, 1979), in particular, and one of its principles, that of loss aversion, this research has provided a theoretical framework adapted to take into account the uncertainty of innovation. Our research question proposes to determine whether the principle of loss aversion can be applied to explain how the modification of certain attributes of a class causes the perception of a break and create a new category of products by the consumer. The empirical part of this work was conducted on wine, a product that is going through a major crisis of consumption. We chose an experimental approach across six studies conducted on innovations in the wine sector. The results were used to highlight the major role played by the nature of the attribute in the categorization and its influence on the perception of breaks in a category. From the managerial point of view, the conclusions of this work relate to the effectiveness of innovation strategies that affect the attributes of a product in their ability to differentiate an innovation from competition. This work also provides suggestions for the positioning and communication set up to facilitate the understanding of a new product and therefore its choice by the consumer

Full textAbstract:
In general, concern for innovation has always been present in the studies of economists. The classical
theory was interested more in its effect than its economic causes and Neoclassical gives only
secondary to the issue of innovation treatment, expanding the classical concepts. Neoclassical theory
saw technology as an exogenous variable, revealing itself unable to explain the change inherent in
the process of economic development. Differentiating, these economists, Joseph Schumpeter
emphasizes the word "innovation" to feature a number of innovations that can be introduced in the
economic system and substantially alter the relations between producers and consumers is a key
element for economic development. In his "Theory of Economic Development" (TDE) seeks to
distinguish definitions of invention and innovation. For him, innovation is the engine of economic
development, that is, through innovation that the business is able to offer new products, better quality
products, or reduced costs, allowing you to earn higher profits than other entrepreneurs and thus, the
innovative entrepreneur happens to be imitated by other capitalists. And this movement generates a
cycle, which is called spectacular economic growth, which is interrupted when the extraordinary
profits are diluted among competitors, causing the economy to find a new balance point. The
creation of a new technology leads to destruction of the old, this destruction that Schumpeter called
"creative destruction." It was from this theory that evolutionary or neo-Schumpeterian current began
to see the phenomenon of innovation in the economy for another look, placing it in the center of the
investigation. For them, innovation must be seen as the result of a complex and continuous process
of experience in the relations between science, technology, research and development in academic
institutions, industry and government, only through the interaction of these three actors known as
"triple helix" you can create a sustainable and durable innovation system in the era of the knowledge
economy. However, the main challenge of Brazilian academic institutions in the twenty-first century
is to incorporate innovation and entrepreneurship in teaching, research and extension, aimed at both
the training of qualified professionals to market, how to play a role in the system Innovation and
economic and technological development. To fulfill this new role, academic institutions had help
Innovation Act, 2004. Among various measures, management mechanisms have been developed for
scientific and technological institutions and their relationship with the companies. Thus, universities
and federal institutes defined by law as an Institution of Science and Technology (ICT) became
responsible for structuring an internal organ, called the Center for Technological Innovation (NIT),
with the function to manage their innovation policies. Thus, the general objective of this research is
to understand how the Technological Innovation Centers-NITs of ICTs (UFS, NIT-IFS and Embrapa
Coastal Tablelands) disseminate a culture of innovation, intellectual property and technology
transfer. To this end, we sought a methodology of qualitative and descriptive. The survey is divided
into five parts: introduction; the second chapter that addressed the economic theories; the third
chapter that discussed concepts of innovation, innovation process, licensing and transfer in ICT; the
fourth chapter analyzed the results obtained from the questionnaire to NITs (CINTTEC / UFS, NIT /
IFS end SPAT / Embrapa Coastal Tablelands) and lastly the final considerations.De um modo geral, a preocupação com a inovação sempre esteve presente nos estudos dos economistas. A teoria clássica interessou-se mais em seus efeitos do que em suas causas econômicas e os neoclássicos dá um tratamento apenas secundário à questão da inovação, ampliando os conceitos clássicos. A teoria neoclássica enxergava a tecnologia como uma variável exógena, revelando-se incapaz de explicar a mudança inerente ao processo de desenvolvimento econômico. Diferenciando, destes economistas, Joseph Schumpeter enfatiza a palavra “inovação” para caracterizar uma série de novidades que podem ser introduzidas no sistema econômico e que alteram substancialmente as relações entre produtores e consumidores, sendo elemento fundamental para o desenvolvimento econômico. Em sua “Teoria do Desenvolvimento Econômico” (TDE) busca distingui definições de invenção e inovação. Para ele, a inovação é o motor do desenvolvimento econômico, ou seja, é por meio da inovação que o empresário consegue oferecer novos produtos, produtos de melhor qualidade, ou a custos reduzidos, que lhe permite auferir lucros mais elevados do que os outros empresários e assim, o empresário inovador passa a ser imitado pelos demais capitalistas. E esse movimento gera um ciclo, o qual é chamado de crescimento econômico espetacular, que se interrompe quando os lucros extraordinários forem diluídos entre os concorrentes, fazendo com que a economia encontre um novo ponto de equilíbrio. A criação de uma nova tecnologia leva a destruição da velha, a esta destruição, que Schumpeter chamou de “destruição criadora”. Foi a partir deste teórico que a corrente evolucionária ou neo-schumpeteriana começou a enxergar o fenômeno da inovação na economia por um outro olhar, colocando-a no centro da investigação. Para eles, inovação deve ser vista como resultante de um processo complexo e contínuo de experiências nas relações entre ciência, tecnologia, pesquisa e desenvolvimento nas instituições acadêmicas, indústrias e governo, somente através da interação desses três atores, conhecido como “tríplice hélice”, é possível criar um sistema de inovação sustentável e durável na era da economia do conhecimento. No entanto, o principal desafio das instituições acadêmicas brasileiras no século XXI é o de incorporar a inovação e empreendedorismo nas atividades de ensino, de pesquisa e de extensão, objetivando tanto a formação de profissionais qualificados para o mercado, quanto em desempenhar um papel no Sistema de Inovação e no desenvolvimento econômico e tecnológico. Para cumprir este novo papel, as instituições acadêmicas tiveram ajuda da lei de Inovação, 2004. Dentre várias medidas, foram desenvolvidos mecanismos de gestão para as instituições científicas e tecnológicas e sua relação com as empresas. Desse modo, as universidades e institutos federais definidos em lei como Instituição de Ciência e Tecnologia (ICT) se tornaram responsáveis por estruturar um órgão interno, chamado Núcleo de Inovação Tecnológica (NIT), com a função de gerir suas políticas de inovação. Logo, o objetivo geral dessa pesquisa é entender como os Núcleos de Inovação Tecnológica-NITs das ICTs (UFS, NIT-IFS e Embrapa Tabuleiros Costeiros) disseminam a cultura da inovação, da propriedade intelectual e da transferência de tecnologia. Para esse fim, buscou-se uma metodologia de natureza qualitativa e de caráter descritivo. A pesquisa está dividida em cinco partes: a introdução; o segundo capítulo que abordou das teorias econômicas; o terceiro capítulo que discutiu conceitos da inovação, processo de inovação, licenciamento e de transferência nas ICTs; o quarto capítulo que analisou os resultados obtidos da aplicação do questionário aos NITs (CINTTEC/UFS, NIT/IFS E SPAT/Embrapa Tabuleiros Costeiros) e o por último as considerações finais.

Full textAbstract:
La problematique de la these est la suivante : quel peut etre l'apport d'une approche fondee sur les competences a l'analyse de la relation taille / innovation ? pour repondre a cette question centrale, differentes methodologies et etapes sont proposees. Un exercice d'histoire de la pensee economique est developpe dans le premier chapitre, ou nous montrons, a partir des textes, que les interpretations neo-schumpeteriennes de l'oeuvre de j. A. Schumpeter caricaturent la pensee de l'auteur. Sur le plan conceptuel, seul le modele de la petite firme innovante prevaut dans l'oeuvre de j. A. Schumpeter, avec un glissement de point de vue sur le plan de l'empirisme en faveur des grandes entreprises. Apres une revue de la litterature theorique et empirique, une approche conceptuelle nous permet d'expliciter et de developper une theorie de la firme fondee sur la notion de competences, pour en montrer les implications quant a la comprehension du comportement de la firme et quant aux consequences sur la notion d'equilibre economique. Une approche mathematique est proposee pour modeliser le comportement innovant de l'entreprise selon ses competences, dans un contexte dynamique, en situation d'incertitude non stochastique et sous des contraintes de viabilite. Deux modeles sont proposes pour modeliser le comportement innovant d'une entreprise en fonction de ses contraintes de competences dans un contexte dynamique. Un autre modele propose de demontrer mathematiquement la theorie de la creation organisationnelle de connaissances de i. Nonaka [1994]. Une approche statistique et econometrique est egalement developpee pour valider empiriquement notre problematique en exploitant une base de donnees du sessi. Le modele de la petite firme innovante en raison de ses qualites organisationnelles n'est pas valide. En revanche, la grande entreprise est plus competente dans l'ensemble des domaines explicitant les competences requises pour innoverThe main subject of the thesis is to analyse the contribution of the concept of competence to explain the relation between size of the firm and innovation. We analyse the major books of j. A. Schumpeter to put in light that these interpretations of neo-schumpeterians are subject to critics. Taking in account the conceptual coherence between books of schumpeter, we show that the model of "schumpeter i" prevailing. After a review of the theoretical and empirical approaches, a conceptual approach is proposed to elaborate a theory of the firm based on the concept of competence. This perspective is prevalent to explain the variety of innovative behaviour of the firm. Two models are developed. Firstly, we develop a model of innovative behaviour of a firm in function of his repertory of competencies in a dynamical, non-stochastic context. Secondly, we demonstrate mathematically the theory of organisational knowledge creation of nonaka's model [1994]. We propose also to analyse ours results in empirical terms. We show that the model of 'schumpeter i' is refuted and globally big enterprise are more competent to innovate
