Purpose
This paper aims to map literature about innovation capabilities (IC) taking into consideration industrial clusters to propose a conceptual framework that synthetizes the main factors and subfactors responsible for ICs; in addition, the paper also proposes a research agenda.
Design/methodology/approach
A systematic literature review (SLR) was performed; academic papers were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively.
Findings
The authors provide a descriptive analysis followed by a thematic synthesis, in which we present 05 enablers and 20 critical factors (CF) of IC in clusters. The proposed framework emphasizes what needs to be done or improved to increase IC in cluster-based companies. Based on this systematic review and the framework proposed, the authors identified opportunities for future research.
Research limitations/implications
The enablers and CF identified through SLR were not validated empirically. Therefore, future studies on the current topic are required to validate the framework by investigating which factors are more relevant to cluster-based companies that intend to improve their innovative performance.
Practical implications
The present findings have important implications for the identification of the factors and subfactors that may contribute to the development of IC, which may help managers and decision-makers in recognizing which factors are the most responsible for business innovation.
Originality/value
The paper identifies enablers related to the development of IC in industrial cluster and presents a research agenda. The framework represents a guideline for companies to achieve better innovation performance.
ResumoA visão baseada em recursos destaca o papel dos recursos empresariais para a eficácia das estratégias e para a construção de uma vantagem competitiva sustentável. Com base nesses conceitos, este artigo tem por objetivo verificar se os recursos estratégicos de duas empresas do setor hoteleiro de um município do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul estão contribuindo para as estratégias realizadas por essas organizações e, consequentemente, para sua vantagem competitiva. Para alcançar esse objetivo, foi adotado o método do estudo de caso, utilizando como técnica principal de coleta de dados a entrevista semiestruturada com perguntas abertas e fechadas dirigidas aos gerentes das empresas. Os resultados demonstraram um padrão comum entre as empresas pesquisadas, que apresentaram estratégias e recursos semelhantes. A avaliação dos recursos estratégicos permitiu entender a sua contribuição e a relação deles com as estratégias identificadas para os dois hotéis.
This study aimed to analyze the process of implementing lean healthcare in three Brazilian hospitals that have played a pioneering role in the implementation of this system. We adopted the case study approach and collected data through interviews, document analysis, and observation. The results showed that the processes of implementation of lean healthcare in the hospitals shared many similarities in terms of the flow of patients, materials, or information. Finally, it was possible to obtain some guidelines for the application of lean principles and techniques in order to facilitate the implementation of lean healthcare in hospital operations.KEYWORDS | Lean production, lean healthcare, service operations, healthcare operations, case studies.
RESUMO
Este artigo tem como principal objetivo analisar como ocorreu o processo de implementação do lean healthcare em três hospitais brasileiros que exerceram um papel pioneiro na aplicação desse sistema. Foi utilizada a abordagem metodológica do estudo de caso, adotando como técnicas de coleta de dados entrevistas, análise documental e observação. Os resultados evidenciaram que os processos de implementação da produção enxuta nos três hospitais tiveram muitas semelhanças, seja nos fluxos de pacientes, materiais ou informações. Por meio da pesquisa, foi possível extrair diretrizes quanto à aplicação das técnicas e dos princípios enxutos de modo a fornecer suporte às operações hospitalares na implementação da produção enxuta.
