RESUMO

Knowing the motivating factors to the development of innovation processes has aroused interest in the area of organizational studies and has played as a challenge to the field of management. To address these markets many organizations have identified the innovation as a factor for survival and competitiveness. Therefore, we sought to determine whether there are similarities in the characteristics of the climate of innovation in the three units of the company that won by two consecutive years the award FINEP of Innovation and listed by the magazine Época in 2008 as one of the hundred best companies to work. In total, 349 employees were surveyed which are dispersed geographically among the three branches located in the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Goias and Sao Paulo. Social subjects answered a questionnaire adapted from the model developed by the Minnesota Innovation Research Program (MIRP) based on the methodology Minnesota Innovation Survey (MIS), with four groups of dimensions involving internal and external characteristics and results, a total of 21 dimensions and encompassing 45 questions with answer options on a Likert scale of five points. Therefore, this study is characterized as descriptive with quantitative method. We used the Cronbachs alpha as an indicator of the reliability of data and frequency analysis, map exploratory factor and structural equation modeling as analysis techniques. It was found that the 21 dimensions studied, 10 were perceived in common in the three units as a constant in the environment for the development of innovation and 7 were not perceived as existing in this study. A total of 21 dimensions, 17 obtained common perceptions, though in different frequency. There was agreement among the three branches of that the factor that characterizes the environment of innovation refers to the participation of employees in the process of decision making about innovation. In general it can be stated that the units have more similarities than differences and that the branch of Goiás has better adhesion to the model proposed by MIRP due to correlations of internal and external dimensions on the perception of efficiency and innovation. Thus, as MIS methodology, the units of Goiás and Rio Grande do Sul show evidence of being more and less innovative, respectively
