Abstract

This paper outlines the performance of the recent policies to strengthen the Brazilian productive structure and to support the country’s innovation. The method selected for the analysis is the case study. Based on bibliographic, documental, and empirical evidences, the objective of the present study is to investigate the effectiveness of the Brazilian Technology System (SIBRATEC), founded in 2007. The effectiveness of this system will be assessed through an outline of the institutional arrangement of the Technological Extension Network in Rio de Janeiro (SIBRATEC-ET Rede RJ) which supports competitiveness of micro, small and medium industrial enterprises (MPMEs) in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Results indicate that the institutional aspects of the arrangement do not contribute to facilitate the support to enterprises. The levels of efficiency and efficacy achieved with the use of the available technical-administrative state capabilities have failed to correspond to the expectation of providing consistent support to the state’s industrial base. However, the instruments SIBRATEC-ET Rede RJ uses to assist local MPMEs are flexible and designed aiming to adjust to the identified enterprises’ demands, which evidences great adherence in the provision of support to improve the performance and the capacities of enterprises, in order to reach the level of key-technologies.

技术推广网络与区域发展——以巴西为例

本文概述了最近加强巴西生产结构和支持该国创新的政策的表现。选择的分析方法是案例研究。基于文献、文献和经验证据，本研究的目的是调查成立于2007年的巴西技术体系（SIBRATEC）的有效性。该系统的有效性将通过里约热内卢技术推广网络的体制安排大纲进行评估，该网络支持里约热内卢州微型、小型和中型工业企业的竞争力。结果表明，该安排的制度方面无助于促进对企业的支持。利用现有的技术管理国家能力所达到的效率和效能水平未能达到为国家工业基础提供持续支持的期望。然而，SIBRATEC ET Rede RJ用于协助当地MPME的工具是灵活的，旨在根据确定的企业需求进行调整，这证明了在提供支持以提高企业的绩效和能力以达到关键技术水平方面非常坚持。
