Abstract
This work discusses innovation in a traditional oil chain industry in Brazil, the offshore support vessel. To sustainably increase production, innovation is a mandatory strategy. This paper approaches the Brazilian offshore support vessel industry from an innovation perspective by a content analysis method and thus provides several contributions from both academic and managerial perspectives. From academic standpoint, there are several unanswered questions and vast research opportunities, such as improvements in academic-firm relationships to enhance knowledge sharing and contributions to the literature. From a managerial perspective, this study reflects on maturity level of companies’ innovation and the needs of developing explicit strategies to achieve better innovation results.
