The open innovation approach and its practice in technological innovation projects have been revealed in the literature and observed in practice companies as an old phenomenon. What differentiates its current use is that today its practice occurs in a systematic and formalized form in companies. This paper carried out a bibliographic-exploratory research about the wind power supply chain and it analyzes how technological innovations made their development possible. The study focuses specifically on exploring within the technological innovations occurred in the chain wind power, as the innovative approach followed by developers organizations. Results indicate that open innovation practices were essential for the success of economic and technological feasibility for the development of such chain, primarily by what happened partnership between the manufacturers of major components (aero generators, towers, blades) wind energy, research institutes, laboratories, universities and federal governments through incentive policies.
Creativity and innovation became essential issues in the organizational environments, by revealing their importance to achieve the differential in dynamic markets. In this scenario, this article aims show how the relationship between creativity and product innovation is approached in scientific studies and suggest future research themes. Hence, a literature review was made using as a research source the "Periódicos Capes", which after the filter, lead to the analysis of 40 papers published in the period 1990 to 2011. Examining the amount of publications per year, it was observed an increase in published articles of this thematic in the last five years, but despite this there is a gap in detailing the relationship between creativity and product innovation. As result, it this would propose that the creativity can be present in different ways in perspective to the innovation process: it's conception, development or improvement, according to the integrative model proposed. This suggests that future research look into studies about the relationship between creativity and product innovation, applying research methods such as the action research, for example.
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.
