The definition of the agriculture sector as a supplier dominated is a very restrictive supposition which implies that the technological changes would be residual. The learning process of the farmer throughout, determines the increase in productivity, and simultaneously the reduction in the cost of production, which all depends on the ability of the producers to recognize the value of new information, as well as the managerial ability to apply technological knowledge. The investments in the managerial capability of the farmers allow taking better advantage of the external knowledge. With the aim of systemizing the chains of the main ideas on agricultural dynamics, one has sought to construct the Evolutionary Model of Learning. Preliminary results showed that innovative producers on average maintain an avant-garde technological stance. The increase in the absorptive capacity serves to conquer gains in production and to make lower costs.

It is argued in this paper the possible alignment between scientific activities and technological research carried out by universities and the guidelines of public policies on science and technology in Brazil. As a way of delimiting the field of analysis, without compromising the scope of this paper, we restricted our focus on the federal public universities in Minas Gerais State and we checked the possible convergence with the Industrial Policy and Foreign Trade (PITCE). More than that, it is argued as essential the function of universities as generators of knowledge within an innovation system and a closer university-industry-state relation should be pursued as proposed by the ‘Triple helix’.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

The Sectoral Funds (SF), included in the context of National Fund of Technological and Scientific Development, meant a important change to Brazilian technological funding, treating industrial sectors within its peculiarities. The aim of this work is to study the sectoral fund of Health (CT-Saúde), using unpublished base data provided by Ministry of Science and Technology and Financier of Studies and Projects. The main results shows (i) small participation of the sectoral fund of health in the Health system of innovation; (ii) closer aims to health public politics (specifically SUS necessities); (iii) small relevance of industrial firms and little interaction amongthese firms and universities and research institutes and (iv) fragmentation of funding strategies.

This paper aims to propose a methodology that measures the secondary dimension of software and related services activities. The concept of secondary dimension used in this paper refers to the activities of software and related services performed outside the software industry, ie, the activities of development, production, marketing and support of software and related services that are not made by companies classified as belonging to the sector of software. As a result of this methodology, the paper shows that the activities of software and related services in Brazil in 2005 presented a net operating revenue of approximately R$ 61.12 billion, of which R$ 30.48 billion were generated in the primary dimension and R$ 30.64 billion in the secondary dimension. It also showed that the secondary dimension mostly relies in largesized enterprises (mainly those with 1.000 or more employees) and in the sectors of public administration (23.9% of total), business services (17%), retail (11.1%), post and telecommunications (7.3%), financial intermediation (4.7%) and wholesale trade (3.4%).

This articles adopts a differentiated methodology for evaluating sectoral funds, and its aim is to analyze the functioning and the impacts of CT-Info in what regards to its focus: to support projects in Brazilian information technology firms. To accomplish this goal, the research tried to answer three fundamental questions: what is the profile of the firms supported by CT-Info? How was the dynamics of utilization of the resources? What was the motivation for firms to use or not to use the instrument? In one hand, results point to a capture of the instrument by the Academy. On the other hand, for the few supported firms, despite bureaucratic difficulties, the obtained results were very important.
