Avaliação da percepção de gestão de inovação na construção civil

Abstract

Knowledge, in all its forms, today plays a crucial role in economic processes. In companies, their development and diffusion are essential to maintain them in a competitive economy. Their strategic role is highlighted by the growing investments in innovative practices, different from the current scenario. Responsible managers report difficulty in assimilating these practices. In order to diagnose the innovation and knowledge management of civil construction companies in the city of Dourados/MS, a tool was directed to the responsible engineers and managers, the Innovation Questionnaire. The similarities found in the administrations were the lack of specialized collaborators and limitation of the knowledge transfer factors, however the companies seek to present themselves as innovative.
