Resumo: O artigo tem como propósito analisar o relacionamento entre as práticas de ecoinovação e gestão do conhecimento. Ênfase é dada ao desenvolvimento de ferramentas para o desenho ambiental, uma vez que estas representam uma forma de integrar recursos de conhecimento ao processo de desenvolvimento de produto. Sabe-se que o comprometimento da alta gestão é imprescindível na mudança organizacional para a implementação de sistemas de gestão ambiental. Outrossim, a gestão deve fomentar a criação de conhecimento. Como forma de demonstrar a relação que é objeto de pesquisa, são estudados o Standard Design Process Form e o Diagrama de Product Ideas Tree. Tais metodologias foram selecionadas por caracterizarem de forma elucidativa o processo de geração de idéias dentro da ecoinovação. Além das relações destacadas entre as práticas de gestão do conhecimento e ecoinovação, um conjunto de quatro proposições é elencado no intuito de ressaltar os resultados encontrados na discussão. Palavras-chave:Ecoinovação; Gestão do Conhecimento; Criação de Conhecimento; Gestão Ambiental. Support of Knowledge Management in Eco-innovation practices Abstract:The article aims to analyze the relationship between the practices of ecoinnovation and knowledge management. Emphasis is given to the development of tools for environmental design, since they represent a way of integrating knowledge resources to the process of product development. It is known that the commitment of top management is essential for the implementation of environmental management systems. Likewise, management should promote knowledge creation. As a way to demonstrate the relationship that is the subject of research, the Standard Design Process Form and the Product Ideas Tree diagram are studied. These methodologies were selected in order to characterize and enlighten the process of generating ideas in the eco-innovation. In addition to the relationships found between the knowledge management and eco-innovation practices, a set of four propositions is listed in order to emphasize the results found in the discussion.

“…Correlations among Knowledge Management, Corporate Culture, and Organizational Innovation Climate Johannessen, Olsen & Olaisen (1999) considered that Vision and Corporate Culture would provide a direction for Knowledge Management (assisting in knowledge integration and application). Managers should understand the criticality of Knowledge Management for the Organizational Innovation Climate, such as recording and emphasizing various types of organizational knowledge (including systematic, implicit, explicit, tacit, and interpersonal knowledge), and establishment of internal and external individual and team networks to assist in idea flow and to develop, analyze, and utilize Knowledge Management for reinforcing an Organizational Innovation Climate.…”

Knowledge and innovation are regarded as characteristics in the new knowledge economy era. Any organization should be able to manage knowledge and continuously innovate in order to present their competitive advantages. Under increasing market competition, enterprises depend more on innovation to enhance the competitiveness for survival and development. Organizational Innovation Climate therefore plays a critical role in the overall operation and activity performance. According to the previous research motives and purposes, this study aims to discuss the correlations between Organizational Innovation Climate and Knowledge Management. Manufacturers in Linkou Industrial Park are sampled as the research subjects and a total of 650 questionnaires are distributed. Having eliminated invalid and incomplete questionnaires, a total of 348 valid copies are retrieved, with a retrieval rate of 54%. resuMenEl conocimiento y la innovación se consideran rasgos característicos de la nueva era de la economía del conocimiento. Toda organización debe ser capaz de gestionar el conocimiento y de innovar continuamente para hacer patentes sus ventajas competitivas.
