RESUMO

This work aims contributes to the discussion of innovation management in low-tech companies. As a starting point, from the perspective of the Innovation Value Chain, an analysis of innovation management in large low-tech companies is made. This approach allows a broad view of innovation management, not restricted to the process of product development or intensive activities in R&D. In each company analyzed were investigated forms of organization, decision making and the main tools of management (as the links in innovation chain, \"generation, conversion and diffusion of the idea\") in order to verify how these companies manage and organize their innovation value chains, and the possible convergence with the typical low-tech way to innovate, advocated in the literature. For this analysis, five cases of low-tech companies are confronted by a typical high-tech company and by the available literature. Although the current literature proposes the existence of a typical low-tech way to innovate, generally associated to the companies constraints (resources, structure, strategy etc.) and the features related to small and medium companies, we can state that this typical low-tech way can not be broaden to the all companies in this sector. For the organizations surveyed, large companies, the results point to the absence of a typical low-tech way to innovate vis-à-vis a typical mode of high-tech companies. Although these companies do have strategies, goals, resources and differentiated demands, they organize and manage their innovative value chains very similarly. Finally, based on the discussion of the important aspects mentioned in the literature and on the result analysis, it is proposed a set of general principles to appraise the organization and the innovation value chain management, to be taken into account by low-tech companies that have or intend to have continuous innovation in products as part of their competitive strategy.
