“…Another sector that stands out among academics is the chemical industry, which -in this study -showed average values of capacity to innovate and risk. In turn, different studies, such as those by Galembeck et al (2007) and Avelar & Souza (2005), highlight the main risks suffered by this sector: process infrastructure (leakage of waste in the environment), and pharmaceutical/beauty products that cause side effects or do not meet consumer expectations. Accordingly, the main investments in this sector are aimed at control equipment and new technological processes, aiming to reduce the aforementioned risks.…”

“…The technical nature of the products requires a greater approximation between suppliers and buyers, in order to explore different customization possibilities (Galembeck et al, 2007). The chemical industry is also characterized by substantial investments in research and development, in its search for technological innovations that enable companies to keep up with the rapid advances in market demands while being able to offer multiple application solutions for portfolio products (Brito, Brito, & Morganti, 2009).…”
