ABSTRACT Public Science and Technology Institutions (STIs) need to assume and consolidate a proactive role in innovation management to transform knowledge advances into appropriate results for the industrial base. It is required a strategic managerial action aimed at sustaining the sector’s ecosystem and guided by the principle of entrepreneurship. Considering the context of STIs in an integrated approach to the technological innovation process, two questions were raised: How to guarantee an architecture and organizational governance that favor entrepreneurial behavior by linking it to the technological innovation strategy in the ecosystem, and how to expand and promote interactions among ecosystem agents, ensuring an environment leading to innovation and the dissemination of the knowledge generated. The proposed managerial model can be applied in any national or international technology-based innovation ecosystem keeping the characteristics of the business environment. The authors used extensive literature research and direct observation to develop ideas and link them to this management practice. The result was a strategic innovation management model for technology-based STIs. It has management instruments that enhance the proactive performance of ecosystem agents and helps them transfer and absorb the developed technologies.

Resumo: O Departamento de Ciência e Tecnologia Aeroespacial (DCTA) tem função relevante na satisfação das necessidades da Força Aérea e no incremento da capacidade tecnológica global do país. Assumir um papel pró-ativo na gestão da inovação é fundamental para o cumprimento dos objetivos estratégicos e deve ser encarado como uma condição necessária para a constituição de um ambiente propício à disseminação do conhecimento produzido às empresas do parque industrial brasileiro. Este trabalho fundamentou-se em duas abordagens: a de que a inovação tecnológica é um processo cumulativo - o qual é estabelecido por meio da interação entre o governo, empresas e instituições de P&D, além do mercado - e a abordagem technological foresight, no sentido de que a gestão estratégica da inovação tecnológica implica negociar demandas e campos promissores de investigação e também em atuar nas condições do ambiente no qual estão inseridos os atores, promovendo uma macrocoordenação. Este artigo apresenta considerações sobre a indústria aeroespacial brasileira e sobre o contexto da inovação tecnológica no Ministério da Defesa e no Comando da Aeronáutica, especificamente no DCTA; o objetivo foi enfatizar a necessidade de uma atuação estratégica pró-ativa para a geração de inovação tecnológica e propor um método de gestão dessa inovação para o DCTA.

Abstract: The Aerospace Science and Technology Department (DCTA, acronym in Portuguese) has a relevant role. of attending the air force necessities and of incrementing the Brazilian's global technological capacity. Taking over to a pro-active role in the innovation management is a fundamental step to achieve the strategic goals and it must be faced as a necessary condition for the formation of a favorable environment to disseminate knowledge to the Brazilian industrial sector. This work is based on two approaches: the technological innovation is a cumulative process - which is established by means of the interaction among government, enterprises and R&D institutions, besides the market - and the technological foresight approach, in which the strategic management of the technological innovation implies negotiating demands and promising investigation fields, besides influencing on conditions of the environment in which the actors are inserted, promoting a macro-coordination. This paper presents considerations about the Brazilian aerospace industry and about the technological innovation context at the Defense Ministry and at the Aeronautic Command, specifically at DCTA. The object was to emphasize the necessity of a pro-active strategic action in order to generate technological innovation, and to propose a method of management of this technology for DCTA

Resumo: O presente estudo descreve o processo de gestão de projetos de pesquisa e desenvolvimento (P&D) de uma instituição pública de pesquisa do setor aeroespacial, integrante do parque tecnológico e industrial do Vale do Paraíba Paulista, o Comando-Geral de Tecnologia Aeroespacial - CTA. A pesquisa exploratória conduzida visa identificar a aplicação de financiamento empregada pelo governo federal e FINEP, como também os instrumentos e as ferramentas disponíveis na instituição incorporando os planos, leis, diretrizes, normas e relatórios que permeiam o processo de gestão de projetos de P&D. Este estudo examinou as atividades de planejamento, acompanhamento e controle de casos reais de projetos. A partir das informações qualitativas e quantitativas coletadas, foram apresentadas as considerações e recomendações, de modo a melhorar a eficácia e a eficiência da gestão desses projetos.

Abstract: The present study describes the research and development (R & D) project management process in an aerospace sector public research institution, belonging to the São Paulo State Paraiba River Valley technological and industrial park, the General Command for Aerospace Technology (Comando - Geral de Tecnologia Aeroespacial - CTA). The exploratory research undertaken aimed to identify the application of federal government and FINEP funding, as well as the instruments and tools available to the institution, including its planning, its regulations, guidelines, standards and reports which pervade the R & D project management process. This study examined the planning, follow-up and monitoring activities associated with real case studies. From the qualitative and quantitative information collected, observations and recommendations were made in order to improve the efficient management of these activities.
