Abstract

Este artigo apresenta novas evidencias sobre a efetividade de uma política setorial de inovacao adotada pelo governo federal Brasileiro que se apoia em um instrumento de “natureza impositiva” : o governo obriga as organizacoes do setor elétrico a investirem uma certa porcentagem de seu faturamento em atividades de pesquisa e desenvolvimento (P&D). A destinacao dos recursos financeiros para as atividades de P&D é regulada pela Agencia Nacional de Energia Elétrica (ANEEL), por forca da Lei Federal No 9.991 de 07 de julho de 2000. Nossa pesquisa cobriu 41 projetos concluídos entre os anos de 2000 a 2006 por uma das subsidiarias do sistema público elétrico de geracao e transmissao, localizada no nordeste brasileiro, responsável pela geracao de 10.615 MW de energia elétrica, aproximadamente 9% do total nacional. Embasados pela teoria evolucionária da mudanca técnica, um amplo quadro de aspectos atinentes a esses projetos foi contemplado pela metodologia de avaliacao, de maneira a cobrir tópicos desde os objetivos dos projetos aos resultados tecnológicos em termos de patentes e artigos gerados, passando pelo número de pesquisadores formados por estes projetos em equivalencia de tempo integral. No total, 53 gerentes de projetos responderam a um questionário de auto resposta que foi aplicado após se coletar informacoes secundárias dos projetos. Como resultados positivos, tem-se a alta taxa de consecucao dos objetivos e um expressivo número de produtos tecnológicos na forma de publicacoes científicas e artefatos. Entretanto, somente uma pequena parcela destes artefatos chegaram a um estágio de desenvolvimento industrial e somente dois deles obtiveram alguma forma de direitos de propriedade intelectual. Apesar de nao poder se negar que alguns avancos foram atingidos, a análise dos dados revela uma substancial dificuldade do quadro dos gestores da empresa de deixar uma cultura escassamente orientada a inovacao para adotar um novo paradigma que realmente internalize os aspectos principais de uma estratégia inovativa.
