Análise do modelo de gestão da incubadora PIEBT sob a perspectiva do isomorfismo organizacional

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the management of a business incubator, the Programa de Incubação de Empresas de Base Tecnológica (PIEBT) – the Technological Base Business Incubation Program. Starting from a qualitative and quantitative approach, we seek to portray the management process of the oldest Amazon business incubator, identifying its context and the level of adequacy of their practices to the newest model of management incubators, Centro de Referência para Apoio a Novos Empreendimentos (CERNE) – Reference Center for Support of New Ventures. For this, we discourse about the business incubation, discussing some management concepts and some concepts of institutional theory. The results showed that the management has central focus in the process of hatching and raising funds and its adequacy to the CERNE is predominantly early stage, but that, even for pressures of organizational field, the implementation model is a goal to be achieved. It was also concluded that the management of PIEBT is surrounded by pressures that tend to isomorphism.
