Inovação: uma análise das políticas e práticas desenvolvidas na UEMA, para implementação e desenvolvimento de um ambiente criativo

Abstract

The public universities nowadays seek more often to innovate, as for many years they traditionally followed only the line of teaching, research and extension, respecting the principle of indissociability. Innovation in public universities serves as the strategic capacity to develop new organizational and technical processes of production and distribution of knowledge or technology transfer, through innovation agencies, which seek to create an environment capable of creating innovative solutions to everyday problems. It is an exploratory and descriptive survey, as to the means, a bibliographic and field survey, because a questionnaire was used for the primary data survey. The technique of content analysis was used to analyze the data and arrive at the answer to the research problem, which is to know if the current policies and practices of the Uema promote an environment capable of generating innovative solutions applied to the needs of society and other objectives. The innovation and entrepreneurship agency Marandu is a new organism, so many teachers and students have no knowledge about its existence. The agency aims to bring the university closer to the market, providing opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship. One of the agency's actions is the implementation of the entrepreneurship discipline in all Uema courses and it is already in course the creation of a business incubator. The universities need to adopt innovation as a strategy to obtain competitive advantages. What about universities, they must manage knowledge so that can be transformed into innovations for society
