Several authors consider the environment variable to be an influential element on the innovation variable, but they do not provide further insight of the dimensions of these variables. This study, applied to a sample of service companies, includes dimensions of environment (uncertainty and complexity) and dimensions of innovation (technical and administrative), as well as organizational characteristics as a moderating variable in this relationship between environment and innovation. The results indicate that an uncertain environment promotes only technical innovation, while a complex environment promotes both administrative and technical innovation. It was also found that organizational characteristics partially moderate the relationship between the two variables.Keywords: _ Environment. Innovation. Organization RESUMO Diversos autores consideram a variável ambiente um elemento influente na variável inovação, mas não aprofundam quanto às dimensões destas variáveis. Este estudo, realizado em uma amostra de empresas prestadoras de serviços, abrange dimensões do ambiente (incerteza e complexidade) e da inovação (técnica e administrativa), além das características organizacionais como variável mediadora da relação entre o ambiente e a inovação. Os resultados indicam que o ambiente incerto promove apenas a inovação técnica, ao passo que o ambiente complexo promove tanto a inovação técnica e quanto a administrativa. Este estudo também comprova que as características organizacionais moderam parcialmente a relação entre as duas variáveis.

Brunella Noli, General Manager of a Peruvian consulting firm (Pegaso Peru), reviews the history of a troubled IT project for client Casa Master Center (CMC). The project is 11 months overdue, and CMC is an increasingly unhappy client. Noli's review, which starts with the sale and recounts the project's scope, contract and implementation, uncovers a series of problems. Noli seeks to resolve these issues without incurring additional costs. She worries that the relationship with the client is rapidly deteriorating and she fears that this will damage Pegaso's reputation. A second one-page Case B recounts what happened next. This case is based on actual events in real organizations. The identities of the parties involved have been changed, along with other key information, to preserve anonymity.
