Abstract
O objetivo deste artigo e analisar o papel de agentes de suporte a inovacao (ASIs) no desenvolvimento de empresas nascentes de base tecnologica (ENBTs) a partir do conceito de assimetria de informacoes entre os agentes economicos. Para isso, foi utilizada a abordagem qualitativa de analise comparativa de multiplos casos em duas aceleradoras de empresas, duas incubadoras e dois parques tecnologicos. De acordo com os dados obtidos e sua posterior analise, foi verificado que os ASIs contribuem para as ENBTs da seguinte maneira: distribuindo informacoes do mercado, reduzindo, assim, seu custo de pesquisa; favorecendo a formacao de suas redes de relacoes sociais; emprestando sua reputacao; e reduzindo o custo de pesquisa de agentes de mercado no que tange o acesso as ENBTs. Nao obstante, esses papeis variam de acordo com a natureza do ASI investigado. De resto, esta pesquisa pode ser usada como referencia para ambos, ASIs e ENBTs, no que se refere ao desenvolvimento de aspectos informacionais e sociais desta ultima.
Highlights
The innovation is one of the most important aspects of the development of modern societies (Dosi et al, 1990; Grossman and Helpman, 1991)
It is presented the roles of innovation support agents (ISAs) in supporting the internal social capital formation among its new technology-based firms (NTBFs) and the last subsection presents the roles of ISAs in their external social capital formation
It will be possible to conclude under this analysis, that ISAs play a crucial role in the development of informational and relational aspects of NTBFs
Summary
The innovation is one of the most important aspects of the development of modern societies (Dosi et al, 1990; Grossman and Helpman, 1991). For the development of any kind of firm, the NTBF, it is necessary more than technical resources, that is, it is necessary other complementary competencies such as social capital (Grigoriou and Rothaermel, 2013; Hughes et al, 2007; Nicolaou and Birley, 2003; Paradkar et al, 2015; Wang, 2016), positive reputation (Lange et al, 2011; Rindova et al, 2007; Wæraas and Sataøen, 2015), access to information (Felin and Zenger, 2011; Kyriakopoulos, 2011), managerial knowledge (Coster and Butler, 2005; Lockett et al, 2005; Maehler et al 2009; Luggen, 2004; Paradkar et al, 2015; Rubin et al, 2015) and financial resources (Bertoni et al, 2011; Lindstrom and Olofsson, 2001; Santiago et al, 2014; Wonglimpiyarat, 2016). Regarding the necessary competencies to the development of NTBFs and the basic role of ISAs cited above, it is possible to infer that the latter have to support the former, facilitating their access to the complementary competencies cited
