Relações verticais e horizontais no processo de inovação e aprendizagem interativa: estudo em um aglomerado produtivo

Abstract

Palavras-chave: Relações verticais e horizontais; Aprendizado interativo; Inovação em aglomerados produtivos.Abstract: This study sought to examine the vertical and horizontal relationships and the impact of these relationships on the process of innovation and learning by interacting, using a case study in an active industry cluster in Brazil. The methodology procedure was field research with a universe of 36 companies of the lumber industry. The research results helped identify the factors that prevent companies of a cluster from establishing more solid collaboration relationships capable of enhancing competitiveness. It was found that the prevailing mechanism in the business environment of the cluster was learning by doing, obtained from accumulated experiences and skills acquired locally, which allow the definition of adaptations and technological improvements. These findings reveal the need to create spaces inside the companies for learning by interacting and the development of new skills and competencies required for innovation.

Determinantes de la innovación en procesos. Un análisis desde las capacidades de aprendizaje y adaptación

“…Por ejemplo, algunos estudios han analizado el efecto que tiene la capacidad de aprendizaje sobre el desempeño innovador de las empresas (Vos et al, 2018;Zhang & Zhu, 2019), y el rol del aprendizaje como precursor de la capacidad de adaptación de las organizaciones a las condiciones cambiantes del mercado (Kodama, 2019). Otros estudios han ahondado en diversos determinantes de la capacidad para innovar, como, por ejemplo, la habilidad de exploración, que se consigue mediante un proceso de aprendizaje (Khan et al, 2021), el dominio personal que alimenta a la motivación, el desarrollo del entrenamiento personal, la visión compartida y la capacidad creativa (Hirzel, 2017), así como la diversidad de experiencias técnicas (Betim et al, 2018). De hecho, autores como Lloréns-Montes et al ( 2004) han estudiado estas variables en empresas españolas de cuatro sectores productivos (agricultura alimentaria, manufactura, servicios y construcción), identificando una correlación positiva entre el aprendizaje organizacional y la capacidad para innovar (Abdul-Halim et al, 2019).…”

Esforço Inativo E Processo De Aprendizado Da Indústria Metal-Mecânica Pós-Colheita De Panambi-Rs

“…Ao invés de excludentes, alguns desses processos são interdependentes. Podem ser capazes de gerar reforços positivos e retroalimentação benéfica para a inovação, especialmente se ajudarem no reconhecimento de gargalos ou problemas específicos na produção ou na constituição do produto ou serviço (LUNDVALL, 2016;BETIM et al, 2018).…”

Innovation management: The degree of innovation in the COREDE Production metal mechanic sector, Brazil

“…Managing processes in a horizontal format makes the organisation work with a common purpose with measurable performance indicators, whether operational or strategic, and may facilitate the introduction of innovative policies. However, this involves modifying an organizational culture over a period (Betim, 2018).…”

“…The process of generating innovation implies in the improvement of scientific and technological capacities and focus on the process of self-learning, as well as in the production and commercialization process. Its focus is toward new solutions or ideas generation for processes and products development, and undoubtedly in the interaction of agents such as suppliers, clients, universities and research centers (Lundvall & Johnson, 2000;Betim, 2018).…”

“…Learning can be considered as a dynamic process that allows changes from existing individual and organizational knowledges. These changes may occur through understanding or decisional changes, when new learned knowledge interferes with action (Betim, 2018). The innovation audit of Tidd et al (2008) seeks to verify if the organisation is committed to the development of collaborators, allowing it to learn from its own mistakes.…”
