Mensurando a Inovação por meio do Grau de Inovação Setorial e do Característico Setorial de Inovação

This study analyzes the innovation sector dimensions in the innovation radar of the micro and small sized firms (MSF) in Pernambuco State. The radar considers 13 dimensions in its composition, but it does not consider each sector characteristics. In carrying out of comparisons among different sectors features, it is important to consider each of them to give distinct weights to each dimension. Thus, a procedure called Sector Innovation Characteristic (SIC) and Sector Innovation Degree (SID) search in this study to establish a process to compare the innovation degree. The SIC allows normalizing the different dimensions of the innovation radar from specific sector for comparison effect between them. The SID normalizes the traditional method on the basis of the innovation dimensions, considering heterogenic sector aspects. The method is validated with application on eight sectors samples with 25 MSF of different sectors.
