TECHNOLOGICAL CAPABILITY MODEL FOR INNOVATION MANAGEMENT FOR AEROSPACE ENTERPRISE by Cezar Honorato, Herlandí de Souza Andrade, Francisco Lourenço de Melo

“…To achieve this goal, the research method applied was action research, starting with the mapping of the literature to identify the most relevant studies, recognize the state-of-the-art, theoretical propositions and in a collaborative way with the participation of experts and professionals that act, directly or indirectly, in the innovations development; the model is co-creation under two evaluation perspectives: the first called technological functions that represent the main areas that have an impact on the success in evaluating strategies, planning, development, execution and in the innovations results in industrial companies and the second perspective that are the competence levels, which at the highest level strongly favor and support innovation in industrial companies, so that organizations can measure themselves, compare themselves with others and, through planning, achieve excellence. …”
