Innovation Factors in Brazilian Industries

Innovation is often seen within the vantage point of knowledge sharing networks and technology. However, the decisional process that creates innovation may include other factors that can provide competitive advantages for organizations. There are a range of complementary capabilities that improve upon organizational innovation ( Yam, et al., 2011). According to the neo-Schumpeterian models there are four areas that help to create sustainability ( Nelson and Winter, 1982) .

Developing employee innovation requires the understanding of bounded rationality and the need to create a methodology that fosters a participative process. Employees follow a particular pattern and routine throughout their working day (Nelson and Winter, 1982). Even though these routines make for orderly workdays, ease of management, and stability of the organization they do not necessarily improve upon the organizations output. To encourage employees to act purposively, beyond daily routine, requires the ability of employees to deliberatively plan and make decisions (Kirzner, 1997).
