Product, Knowledge, and Innovation Management
This line of research deals with issues related to product, knowledge, and innovation management processes present in organizations, trying to reach sustainability, considering the theoretical-methodological bases to promote reflections, improvements and new and more integrated and coordinated processes. In Production Management, the objects of study are the innovation and the improvement of industrial and organizational processes, aiming to anticipate problems, reduce costs, and maximize sustainable results. In Knowledge Management, the objects of study are the models and processes of knowledge socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization, addressed to greater effectiveness in organizations. In Innovation Management, the objects of study are the models of innovation management in organizations, educational institutions, and other innovation habitats, and a precursor and adjacent processes that lead to innovation.
