Please cite this article in press as: Teza, P., et al. Analysis of quantitative empirical papers on diffusion and adoption of methods, techniques and tools for innovation. RAI Revista de Administração e Inovação (2016), http://dx. AbstractEffective use of methods, techniques and tools for innovation (MTT-I) has been considered an important factor for successful innovation management. However, studies related to the topic are still scarce, especially those using the quantitative empirical approach for research. Thereby, with the analysis of quantitative empirical papers related to diffusion and adoption of methods, techniques and tools for innovation, we intend to present a portrait of the empirical research on the topic. The analyzed papers were obtained through a systematic survey on two databases: Scopus and Web of Science. It resulted on a corpus of 18 publications, from which main papers, authors, countries and journals that most published about the theme and the most common keywords were identified. Later, the analysis of papers generated an overview of quantitative empirical research related to the topic and indicated areas for further study, contributing to the development of the subject. The study identified the scarcity of research related to the theme of diffusion and adoption of MTT-I and the concentration of quantitative empirical researches in product development, rather than in other results of innovation, such as services and processes. Methodological variations between studies were also identified, making it impossible to compare different contexts. This paper concludes displaying important points for further development of the field.

An artificial intelligence approach to support knowledge management on the selection of creativity and innovation techniques

“…CITs are formalizations of successful practices that were empirically used to perform creative activities (Forster and Brocco, 2008). They can be documents, frameworks, procedures, systems or methods that aid creation along the development process, enabling the organization to achieve or clarify goals (Teza et al, 2016). By using adequate techniques, mental associations are more easily triggered, creativity skills are enhanced and teams are able to come up with more ideas and better solutions in less time (Bertoncelli et al, 2016).…”

“…The selection of a CIT to be used on each context requires experience from team members (Lubart, 2005;Forster and Brocco, 2008) and is influenced by aspects of the organization, project and design team (Teza et al, 2016). Based on the amount of information and expertise needed to elect and use each technique, many useful methods remain neglected (Yeh et al, 2010).…”

Dinámica de la gestión de la innovación de servicios y co-creación en empresas del sector economía digital

“…El uso de técnicas y herramientas de gestión son relevantes en los estudios relacionados con la innovación y ha sido considerado un factor importante para el éxito de la gestión de la innovación (Hidalgo y Albors, 2008;Igartua, Albors y Hervas, 2010;Teza et al, 2016, Harrington, y Voehl, 2016, Albors, Igartua, y Peiro, 2018. Por su parte, D´Alvano e Hidalgo (2012) aplican las técnicas de gestión de innovación para estudiar el grado de desarrollo del proceso de innovación en las organizaciones de servicios (comercio, salud y educación).…”

Auditoria da inovação: estudo de caso sobre o programa Agente Local de Inovação - ALI

“…, após um estudo com MPEs espanholas, abrangendo empresas que passaram pelo processo de auditoria em comparação com outras que não foram, validou-se que as empresas que passaram pelo processo, de forma obrigatória ou voluntária, apresentaram melhores qualidade contábil e de gestão. Nessa perspectiva, a inovação nas MPEs pode ser relacionada com o aprimoramento de práticas de negócio, tendo em conta que pelas práticas cotidianas existem a captação de informações importantes para melhoria de processos e aprendizagem(FORSMAN;TEMEL, 2011;TEZA et al, 2016).As auditorias de inovação podem ser realizadas por diversas ferramentas e identificaram-se as metodologias internacionais chamadas Impr3ove, Innovation Scoring, GESTINN e INOCERT, e também foram selecionadas as metodologias nacionais, Selo ANPEI, PNI -Prêmio Nacional de Inovação e o Radar da Inovação. Tais ferramentas podem ser utilizadas diretamente pelas empresas, adotadas por organizações e até mesmo países.…”
