2001
Paez, Maria Lucia D'Apice
This paper deals with the application of a dynamic model, combining Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) and Penrose’s theoryof the growth of firms, under the New Institutional Economics (NIE) terms, to analyze and manage the “Agribusiness Innovation System”(SIE) coordinated by an agricultural research-development (R&D) organization in Brazil – Embrapa. Considering the changes in S&Tparadigms together with broader transformation of domestic and global economic environmental conditions, Embrapa in the ninetiessought its own sustainability and internal reorganization as a “firm system”, and also that of the Brazilian agribusiness system, as a public“innovation system”. To offer R&D, Embrapa’s decentralized research centers interact with each other and partners to meet agribusinessR&D demands of the clients, tending to be organized as a complex R&D network. The intended goal is to propose an applied model tosubsidize quantitative analysis for the decision-making process in terms of SIE management as a whole and to test key variablerelationships when applied to aquaculture, fruit-growing and horticulture business innovation subsystems.
