This paper discusses the university-enterprise interactions in the Brazilian innovation system by focusing on the characteristics of the research infrastructure which affects its propensity to interact with the industrial sector. Logistic regressions have been used to identify, in a wide set of...

Brazilian agriculture is a technological innovation success case, explained, among other factors, by the dynamics built between research organizations and agribusiness actors that characterize an innovation ecosystem. The concept of 'agility' is central to the competitiveness and management of...

In developing economies the purchase of a new machine by the firm can be a way of introducing a new product or processes. Under such considerations, this paper searches to measure the assumption of innovation via machine embodied technology, by verifying its impacts over the firm's productivity....

Population growth and greater social pressure in relation to sustainability will require greater agricultural production with less environmental impact. This research aims to evaluate the process of technological innovation and integrated systems of sustainable production. The multi-case study...

The Brazilian science and technology sectoral funds were established at the end of the 1990s, aiming at providing more stable financial resources to science, technology, and innovation (ST&I) activities in the country. Similarly to other instruments used to foster innovation at the firm level,...

A prática de incentivos fiscais à inovação é comumente adotada por diversos países com objetivo de estimular as formas na realização de atividades tecnológicas, sendo especialmente dirigidos as atividades de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento (P&D). O uso generalizado desses incentivos culminou...

The genetic engineering techniques are essential in modern agriculture and, at the same time, demand regulation on several levels. The diffusion of planting genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has grown since 1996, notably in the United States, Argentina and Canada. In Brazil, the production...
