Resumo(s)
A literatura reconhece que a inovação resulta, em parte, da colaboração entre diferentes entidades presentes nos mercados. Igualmente, têm sido estudados os obstáculos que limitam o crescimento e que podem levar ao insucesso das startups. No caso particular das startups tecnológicas, é necessário aumentar continuamente a sua base de know-how. Nesse sentido, para aumentar a probabilidade de sucesso e aumentar a inovação no longo prazo, a literatura sugere que as startups procurem colaborar. No entanto, na literatura portuguesa, ainda não foi estabelecida de forma clara a relação entre a colaboração das startups e a inovação que desta pode resultar.
Primeiramente, a presente investigação pretende explorar as diferentes entidades que colaboram com as Startups Tecnológicas Portuguesas e identificar a inovação resultante. Posteriormente, procura-se perceber a diferença entre a ligação de cooperação startups - grandes empresas e as ligações com universidades, PMEs, centros de investigação, fornecedores especializados e distribuidores. Adicionalmente, pretende-se identificar as principais barreiras à inovação para as startups. Por forma a explorar as possíveis interações entre os conceitos, foram utilizadas 66 respostas fornecidas por startups, recolhidas através de um questionário online, enviado por email. Os resultados demonstraram que poderá existir uma associação entre Inovação de Produto - PMEs, Inovação Organizacional - Grandes Empresas, Inovação de Marketing - Universidades e PMEs. Observou-se uma tendência futura por parte dos respondentes em aumentar a colaboração com diferentes entidades e, em particular, com as Grandes Empresas, conforme sugerido pela literatura. Por fim, conclui-se que a principal limitação à inovação passa por restrições financeiras.
The literature recognizes that innovation comes, in part, from the collaboration between different entities in the markets. Likewise, it has been strongly studied that startups have obstacles limiting their growth and that can lead to their lack of success. Further, technological startups have increased limitations since they must keep developing their technological know-how. In this sense, to grow the likelihood of success and increase the innovation in the long run, the literature suggests that startups should increase collaboration. However, in the Portuguese literature, the relationship between the startups' collaboration with other entities and the innovation that may result has not been well established. First, the present study intends to analyze the different entities that collaborate with Portuguese Technological Startups and identify the resulting Innovation. Second, is intended to understand the difference between the cooperation links startups - big companies and the links with universities, SMEs, research centers, specialized suppliers, and distributors. Further, it is intended to identify their main barriers to innovation. To analyze and explore the possible interactions between the concepts, 66 responses given by startups were used, collected through an online questionnaire, sent by email. The results show that there may be an association between Product Innovation - SMEs, Organizational Innovation - Big Companies, Marketing Innovation - Universities and SMEs. There is a future tendency for respondents to increase collaboration with the different entities and especially with Big Companies, as suggested by the literature. Likewise, it can be concluded that respondents have strong financial constraints limiting their innovation.
