Mapeamento e análise do perfil científico-tecnológico de organizações atuantes no desenvolvimento de instrumentação aplicada ao agronegócio

Abstract

In order to assist the institutions of science and technology to obtain actionable information for use in strategic processes and innovation, this research proposes a systematic, based on the practices of Competitive Intelligence to verify in an area of knowledge, which are organizations that can help in their research and development by mapping them and analyzing their scientific and technological profiles. The difference of this research is in this systematic emphasis on the recovery process of technological information. This process should be more rigorous, or even better investigated because, when not applied correctly can result in a skew analysis, compromising the information production. To develop a systematic methodology adopted was the case study, choosing Embrapa Instrumentation for the application. This institution was chosen because is a unit of EMBRAPA (Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, which actively participates in innovative practices in agribusiness and intelligence. The systematic was developed in the area of instrumentation applied to agribusiness comprising four main processes: a) identification of needs and categorization of activities; b) planning; c) mapping the organization and retrieval of information; d) analysis of the scientific- technological profile and classification organizations. The results were: a) a systematic of mapping and analysis of scientific - technological profile; b) the main organizations with potential contribution in research and development activities of the institution of study; c) the scientific - technological profile of each organization; d) the positioning of these in the agro-industrial system e) the key organizations, specifically, that acted more broadly in the categories of research and development of institution of science and technology. It is evident from the results that the objective was achieved contributing to the bottleneck that exists in the literature about recovery of technological information and providing actionable information to the institution of science and technology to understand your context of operation. Universities Nanjing University, Zhejiang University, Beijing University of Technology and the Company Sinopec were identified as key to the institution of study organizations. The development and implementation of systematic contributed in so far as possible the replication of this research in other areas, at other times, to other institutions of science and technology, and foster studies of other authors in order to promote improvements in the systematic, particularly in the process of technological information retrieval.
