“…In the process of catching up, the practices used are not necessarily new to the world. They are, however, new to the firms, and using them may require considerable risk and long processes of trial and error for learning to be effective (Katz, 1984;Amsden, 1989;Bell and Pavitt, 1993;Hobday, 1995;Kim, 1997;Malerba and Nelson, 2011).…”

“…In order to be successful, new companies need to trigger processes of continuous learning and capability building. Such processes are cumulative and take time to produce results (Katz, 1984;Bell and Pavitt, 1993). For indigenous firms this implies the development of capabilities to identify, absorb and adapt new technologies, to generate innovations, and to enter new market segments (Bell, 1984;Lall, 1992;2000;Amsden and Chu, 2003).…”

“…Technology strategy and management scholars have also studied the external aspects of technology development and the impact of external factors on the outcomes of international technology transfer process (Baranson, 1970(Baranson, , 1978Horwitch and Pralahad, 1981;Kim and Utterback, 1983;Katz, 1985;Van de Ven, 1986;Rogers andValente, 1991, Horwitch, 1992). The prevailing conclusion seems to be that the effect of international technology transfer on the recipient's technological capability is conditioned not only by the composition of the technology package and the technical aspects of the respective business agreements, but also by other institutional factors.…”

“…For example, Katz (1985) studied how the structure and functioning of socioeconomic institutions, such as currently active economic agents, the resource endowments they control, and the public policies by which they are affected over time, may influence the process of effective foreign technology assimilation and utilization. Horwitch and Pralahad (1981) Researchers on public policy and urban planning concerned with technology development (Sabel et al, 1987;Storper and Harrison, 1991;Saxenian, 1991) have also found that firms develop and transfer technology much more successfully when firms form partnerships with suppliers, research institutes, and industry associations concentrated in particular regions.…”

This article represents an attempt to link literature from diverse but fundamentally related areas: research on international technology transfer as well as on technology strategy and management. It argues that these literatures need to be linked because, essentially, these literatu res areconcerned with problems i n herentto managing tech nology development that must succeed at the level of the firm --not the level of the nation state or government facilities. The first section discusses how researchers respond to several questions that frequently appear in recent writings on international technology transfer regarding (1) the sequence of activities that constitute the transfer process, (2) the relationship between assimilating foreign technology and developing indigenous capabilities, (3) organizational options available to transfer technology, (4) external factors that affect the development of technological capabilities, and (5) policies that governments can adopt to promote technology transfer. The second section reviews what ideas or findings from writings on technology strategy and technology management appear to add a useful perspective to these questions.

“…Diversos estudos, entretanto, apontaram para a inexistência deste tipo de esforços na indústria farmacêutica localizada em países periféricos (Katz, 1984;Selan et al, 2007). De fato, esta indústria é composta, no Brasil, por empresas farmacêuticas nacionais, públicas e privadas, e por empresas multinacionais.…”

Área ABEIN: área 7 -estratégias e gestão de C&T&I. JEL: O30, O32.Resumo: Este artigo analisa os esforços de inovação das grandes empresas farmacêuticas no Brasil entre 2008 e 2011, quando se percebe uma inflexão na tendência dos esforços inovativos destas empresas. Além disso, especula-se sobre as principais razões para esta mudança, a partir da literatura sobre o setor no país. A análise exploratória e descritiva foi feita a partir de uma tabulação especial dos dados para as grandes empresas farmacêuticas da Pintec/IBGE. Os principais resultados apontam para um crescimento nos esforços das grandes empresas farmacêuticas em atividades inovativas e o aumento nos gastos com P&D interna e no número de empresas que a realizam de forma contínua. Ressalta-se também a redução nos dispêndios com máquinas e equipamentos. Conclui-se que há importantes alterações no padrão das atividades inovativas realizadas por estas empresas, no sentido de redução de compra de conhecimento e ampliação das atividades para criação de conhecimento e melhoria das capacidades internas. Portanto, é possível que as políticas de estímulo à produção local e à inovação estejam finalmente trazendo resultados para o desenvolvimento do setor do setor farmacêutico no Brasil. Palavras-chaves: esforços inovativos, P&D, setor farmacêutico, Brasil.Abstract: This paper analysis big pharmaceutical companies' effort to develop innovation in Brazil between 2008 and 2011, when there was an inflexion in the trend of innovative efforts of these companies. It also speculates about the reasons for that change based on the literature about the sector in the country. The exploratory and descriptive analysis was made based on a special dada tabulation of big pharmaceutical companies from Pintec/IBGE. The main results show an increase in innovative efforts and a raise in the internal R&D expenditure and in the number of companies carrying out these activities continuously. It also highlights the decrease in the amount spent on machinery and equipment. It is possible to conclude that there are important changes in the patterns of innovative activities carried out by those companies, leading to the reduction in the knowledge purchased and the raise in the activities that create new knowledge and improves internal capabilities. Therefore, it is possible that public policy to foster local production and innovation are finally bringing out results to the development of the pharmaceutical sector in Brazil.
