Abstract

The purpose of this article is to verify the main strategies that WEG, Tupy and Karten companies adopt toward innovation. Such companies are large and operate in the machinery and equipment manufacturing, metallurgical and textile sectors, respectively. To this end, qualified interviews with business representatives are used. The results show that companies adopt different strategies due to the segment they operate, the technological intensity required and the market they serve. Among the strategies adopted are the launch of the new products, continuous improvements in processes, maintenance of research and development structures and interactions with universities and research institutes.
