The Schumpeterian and neo-schumpeterian theories represent pillars on which the subject of innovation developed and gained expression. Moreover, innovation is an independent area both in national and international congresses. The objective of this essay is to investigate -from two criteria of delimitation (Popper and Lakatos) -the scientificity of innovation theory. Innovation is analyzed from three macro themes: (i) the neoclassical current of economic theory; (ii) the introduction of innovation theory and reviews of the more recent Schumpeter manuscripts; (iii) the contributions brought by the neo-chumpeterian innovation current. In concluding that the subject of innovation as analyzed meets the criteria listed to categorize the scientificity according to Popper and Lakatos, implications for the field of innovation studies are discussed, such as the construction/transmission of knowledge, the escape from "common sense", and the use of the "method" as a resource for building scientific knowledge.
10corriente neo-chumpeteriana de la innovación. Se concluye que el tema de la innovación responde a los criterios para categorizar la cientificidad, encontrándose que esto tiene implicaciones en el campo de los estudios sobre el tema en aspectos como: la construcción / transmisión del conocimiento, la evasión del "sentido común", y el uso del "método" como recurso para construir el conocimiento científico. -a cientificidade da teoria da inovação. Analisa-se a inovação a partir de três temas macro: (i) a corrente neoclássica da teoria econômica; (ii) a introdução da teoria da inovação e dos manuscritos mais recentes de Schumpeter; e (iii) as contribuições da corrente neo-chumpeteriana da inovação. Conclui-se que o tema da inovação responde aos critérios para categorizar a cientificidade, e que isto tem implicações no campo dos estudos sobre o tema em aspectos como: a construção / transmissão do conhecimento, a evasão do "sentido comum", e o uso do "método" como recurso para construir o conhecimento científico.
The present work aims to present a proposal for evaluating the intention of cooperation and measuring the trust between a hydroelectric power plant and the local stakeholders in projects focused on sustainability, based on behavioral economic theory. The case of a hydroelectric plant was used, considering the multiplicity of local groups that are influenced by this project, such as fishermen, neighboring residents, indigenous people, farmers and sediment collectors. It is understood that these are groups whose participation in initiatives aimed at sustainability can be fundamental for the preservation of the environment. Such stakeholders were identified from the analysis of secondary documents and personal interviews with managers of the Itaipu plant. For this proposal, public goods concern the preservation of the protection strip; the ichthyofauna and its commercial potential; the preservation of indigenous culture; the maintenance of water quality in the reservoir and microbasins in the region, as well as agricultural crops. It is argued that the recognition of the determinants of the decision of these groups to cooperate and trust can be fundamental, especially in moments of negotiation and bargaining between those involved, in addition to providing information for the improvement of the contractual instruments that guide the relations between the stakeholders and the plant, and to minimize the possibilities of conflicts and mismatches of expectations between the parties. Finally, the advantages of the experimental methodology are presented, especially of the field experiments in view of the heterogeneity of the groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
