Thus, this is an exploratory study of multicases with the application of two questionnaires: the first proposed by Carvalho, Reis and Cavalcante (2011) that aims to evaluate the maturity of companies facing innovation and the second by Scherer and Carlomagno (2009) that analyzes the dimensions of innovation, both being complementary. The result obtained showed that regarding innovation, three companies are in the Dissemination stage, one in Innovation as Strategy; three in Structuring and another three in Partnerships.

Therefore, at the intersection of the results of the two methods, actions to improve innovation in these companies can be established.
