5. The Linear Model of Innovation
Science, the Endless Frontier and Vannevar

paradigm of science and technology
policies, the end of 1950´s;
the dynamics of innovation model adopted
by most developed countries

6. The Linear Model of Innovation
This model dominated thinking about the
S&T until recently;
The problem is that this model is used up to
today by many companies and some public
policymakers.

7. The Linear Model of Innovation
In this model, innovation comes from
scientific research and the strategic
positioning of firm defines investments in
R&D* for the creation of Organizational
Knowledge.

Rio de Janeiro -20 de outubro de 2011 Apresentação 7
SEPRO SENAI/CETIQT Fernando Goldman
8. The Linear Model of Innovation…
…neglects activities outside the R&D;
…considers technological innovation as an
act of production, instead of a continuous
social process;
The relationship between enterprise and
innovation is complex, dynamic and multi-
level .*

9. Innovation in business models
People are realizing the need for firms to
create innovative business models.
It is not enough to create products and
processes *

10. A new vision of Innovation
The water analogy for knowledge simply does not
work;
the simple information processing - or its
accumulation - does not lead to innovation;
All processes of innovation come from exactly the
subjective beliefs of people or of their images of
the world;
objectivity X subjectivity (Polanyi)
Rio de Janeiro -20 de outubro de 2011 Apresentação 10
SEPRO SENAI/CETIQT Fernando Goldman
11. A New Vision of Innovation
Knowledge is inherently paradoxical: it is an
individual construction and, at the same time, is the
result of a social product (the product of a
community) and can not be managed in the usual
sense of the word 'management' .

12. The KM * as multidisciplinary area:
Increasingly, modern society perceives the
current revolution around the use of knowledge
and has sought ways to deal with this new
reality.
The traditional disciplines (engineering,
administration, economics, etc..) have been
consolidated in the use of classical factors of
production;

13. The Organizational Knowledge
After all, what knowledge are we talking about?
To deal with Organizational Knowledge, capabilities
are required to coordinate the creation
(specialization) and use (integration) of different
knowledge*
Which is the relationship between Innovation and
Knowledge Management?

22. Organizational Knowledge Creation:
Capability of a firm…:
…to create knowledge,
…to disseminate it and
…to incorporate it into products,
services and systems.

23. Explicit and Tacit Knowledge
Explicit knowledge is Tacit knowledge is
objective, organized, subjective, being mainly
structured, and can be based on experience. It
made available in is embedded in people
documents, databases, in the form of
training videos and memories, mental
other channels, models, views, practical
traditional or not, of know-how etc.

They are not two kinds of knowledge, they

25. The paradox of Knowledge?
Although individual, knowledge is a social product
“People interacting in a certain historical and social context
share information from which they construct social
knowledge as a reality, which in turn influences their
judgment, behavior, and attitude. (Berger; Luckmann, 1966)
Organizational Knowledge is a complex and
multidisciplinary theme

Rio de Janeiro -20 de outubro de 2011 Apresentação 25
SEPRO SENAI/CETIQT Fernando Goldman
26. In TOKC, an innovative firm…:
…creates knowledge continuously from the
tacit knowledge of their individuals;
…innovates by synthesis, a dialectical process,
continuous and dynamic, which nurtures the
paradoxes;
…socially converts tacit knowledge into explicit
and vice versa.

27. What is Knowledge?
The way you define knowledge defines how
you manage it (Verna Allee)

Information and Knowledge

29. The TOKC vision of Innovation
Mental models of individuals are transformed in the
informational process, setting new states of
knowledge.
Similarly, firms continually create knowledge, setting
up new states of Organizational Knowledge .

31. Social tools and networks
knowledge creation, as a social phenomenon, is due
to the constructive interaction between people in a
community.
Social tools enable the communication of
information, accelerating the exchange and
interaction. Everything living is organized in
networks.

32. Leadership in Innovative Firms
Breaking with Taylorism (The Long Tail);
Progress more than TQM;
Skills to deal with intangibles;
More research skills;
But the manager is not an academic researcher;
Researcher is looking for a Theory;
Manager is looking for a method;
Most important: There is no "magic formula".
