A reflexão apresentada neste artigo busca contribuir para o aperfeiçoamento conceitual da gestão da inovação, destacando a necessidade de incrementar os processos de tomada de decisão e os efeitos de networking, como chaves para a promoção da capacidade de inovar e da competitividade das empresas. O artigo discute a aproximação de três abordagens particularmente úteis à gestão da inovação - Foresight, Inteligência Competitiva e Gestão do Conhecimento - e busca iniciar o entendimento de como as sinergias entre eles podem estimular uma cadeia de agregação de valor em conhecimento e influenciar, positivamente, os processos de tomada de decisão e de networking mencionados.

AbstractPurpose -This paper aims to present a methodology for technological foresight and technological scanning based on S&T and knowledge indicators.Design/methodology/approach -This proposal considers S&T and knowledge indicators, such as a patents indicator (technology), research and development indicator (science) and competencies indicator (human resources). International databases and a data-and text-mining tool are used to build up knowledge maps and reference tables to support decision making.Findings -This study provides information about the use of technological foresight and technological scanning using the biotechnology in the health sector as a case study. In this paper, the trends observed in patents and articles worldwide clearly show the growth in biotechnology, which points to the need to prioritize this area, as well as opening up a variety of opportunities, especially when one considers the human competencies already consolidated in Brazilian universities and research institutes, which could be better harnessed by industry and could help ensure greater innovation and competitiveness.Originality/value -The paper presents a methodology for the effective support of decision taking during the prioritization of strategic and/or technological areas by visualizing potential markets and partnership opportunities. Furthermore, it emphasizes the role of biotechnology as a catalyst for S&Tand innovations in the world.
This chapter introduces the theme of cybersecurity, its importance in the actual scenario, and the challenges of the new Information Society, whose critical development factors are the technological revolution and innovation. The revolution that the information and communications technologies (ICTs) has already brought to modern society is, without doubt, more than visible and concrete, but the great challenge facing us is to harmonize two dimensions, the first relating to the culture of sharing, socialization, and transparency, and the second relating to the issues of security, confidentiality, and privacy. It gives a broad overview in tabular form of the national cybersecurity strategies of the developed countries, United States and United Kingdom, as well as describing a study case, Brazil, is taking its first steps on the path towards cybersecurity. The chapter ends by proposing a model, the key elements for formulating a Brazilian cybersecurity strategy.
