Inovação colaborativa na construção: uma análise do programa inovacon.

Abstract

In a highly dynamic scenario, especially in the context of technology and the search for process cost reduction, companies in the civil construction sector seek to increase competitiveness by improving techniques and developing methodologies that contribute to this development, and, so they can stand out in the market. To achieve this goal, one of the ways that organizations find is through the formation of partnerships and cooperation, allowing a mutual learning, fast and at a lower cost. Thus, the present work consists of a case study with the purpose of studying a partnership between construction companies, INOVACON. Initially founded with the objective of bringing construction companies closer to research, the Program currently has several lines of research and Working Groups that aim to share learning and innovative techniques, bringing together representatives of associated companies. With this, the research consists of analyzing, through a questionnaire sent to the participating directors, the importance/relevance of INOVACON, as well as the relationship of coopetition, innovations and contributions to Civil Construction, from the perspective of the members themselves. The results presented were based on the information provided by the respondents, analyzed and correlated with each other, explaining the context in which the collected responses best fit. In this way, it is possible to obtain a cross between the information answered in the questionnaire and the information previously presented. In addition, the results confirm that the Program is unique and of extreme impact for civil construction, especially for its members, through the transfer of knowledge and generation of innovation, having as its main ally the encouragement of new technologies, in addition to improving existing processes. , through its various research and published journals.
