Abstract
The theme of industrial innovation strategies was formally brought into the government agenda in Brazil during the late-1960s. Since then, there has been a profusion of studies based on descriptions and analysis relative to the design and implementation of industrial innovation strategies. Despite the merit of the existing works in this field in Brazil, there still is a scarcity of both conceptual and, in particular, management approaches to contribute to improving innovation strategies in Brazil. Thus, the focus of this article is centred on two tasks. The first is to clarify some definitions underlying the design and implementation of empirical studies and industrial innovation strategies from the perspective on technological learning in emerging economies. The second is to present some metrics associated with the design and implementation of such strategies and empirical studies, particularly in Brazil. The article seeks to clarify and enlarge the understanding of the intricate process of technological development in the context of emerging economies and, thus, assist researchers and managers involved with industrial innovation management in Brazil.References
