Abstract

In the current economic climate, companies must seek new ways to manage innovation, which has recently become a key method of differentiation in competitive markets. The general goal of this article was to study the process of innovation management in a petrochemical company. A case study performed at Braskem showed that the ability to manage and use knowledge is the major drive of technological innovation. The evidence obtained also showed that partnerships with academic and research institutions have a direct impact on organizational R&D, accelerating results and reducing costs.
